- If your a car enthusiast, chances are you have seen the film Smokey and the Bandit. All of the Trans Ams used in the movie "Smokey and the Bandit" were destroyed by the end of the movie so Burt Reynolds had 3 Bandit Pontiac Trans Ams made for him and a few more trans am he had signed and title in his name. this being one of the cars he had titled in his name and signed.
We will dive into some history on the car, and about the movie in this review.
Burt Reynold's Smokey and the Bandit Pontiac Trans Am.
EDIT: This car is equipped with a 403 oldmobile motor not a 400 pontiac.
Its is also the first trans am built for Burt Reynolds
This car is for sale, view it here

As a child of the 70’s this car is what made me a car guy.
That car and movie where a huge influence on me as a kid. I never owned one as much as I wanted too. Still do. But both of my brothers owned them. Both had two. A Classic Black one (factory), a gold flake one (custom painted with an awesome “chicken”) a red one, new from the factory and a brown one also custom painted with an orange, yellow and bronze leafed bird. Sound crazy but it was beautiful. Awe the memories. 😃
Me too. Still love them. My brother owned several as well. Still a head turner everytime I see one.
Calling it a screaming chicken just cracked me up really enjoy these videos
Finally someone with a sense of humor! Glad you enjoyed the video. 😀
Great video-Classic! I was a kid in the 70's, so this is part of my youth. Another movie from the same time period that pairs Burt and Sally with a Trans-Am is Hooper-where they put a rocket engine in the back of the TA to do an Evel Knievel-style jump over a canyon-great flick! Nothing is as iconic as the black and gold Phoenix, though.
I remember the movie hooper it also had Jan Michael Vincent in it also. Great movie
I loved that movie so much when I was kid, I wanted to BE Burt Reynolds! When I was growing up, he was the biggest movie star on EARTH! In 1984 my family purchased our first VCR, the first movie that I purchased in my life was Smokey and the Bandit... I still have it, costed me $31.95 in 1984!! I had to save my money up to purchase it, I was working as a paperboy making 60 dollars a month, and most of that 60 bucks went to the payments on my bicycle- so if I remember right it tooks me somewhere around 3 months to have the money to purchase that VHS tape, which is now worth maybe 50 cents at a yard sale haha!
Phoenix Fire Bird! Not screaming chicken
We should all call it just the Pontiac Firebird on the hood. Much easier that way since the car is called a Firebird. Gotta love it.
Dont get your feathers in a ruffle
Without a dout the sexiest car ever built
MY 2021 "me too woke" radar just assumed someone wrote..."the sexist car ever built" LOL!!!
I own a 1979 Trans Am, and it is my favorite car. And, the bird is a firebird, not a chicken.
🐔🐓
screaming chicken sounds funnier! and lots of people call it that
nice one@@FerrarisOnline
My Dad had one of the few gorgeous two-toned silver Tenth Anniversary editions Of the Trans Am...silver leather interior with the “chicken” embroidered in the bucket headrests. I have to admit, that back then, I saw these as over-styled cars for old men wanting their youth back or ostentatious Iranian gold chain wearing guys whose parents wealth had them in the colleges all over the U.S. While my tastes ran more to Datsun Zs and Mazda Rx-7s (small, light and spirited) I’d come home from the Navy....and I was absolutely impressed with this beast’s pure, unadulterated power. And with the bland styling of cars today, this one really “shouts” “I’m here......but not for long!!”
Uhh any chance you know its drag co-efficient...?
Colleen, I watch all your videos. You are THE BEST💕❤️. Love your body of work. Keep it up!!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoy the videos. 😀
COOLEST American car in 1977 & 78 IMO. By far. Too bad I was 13 at the time. I would've hocked all my possessions + a pint of blood or two for one of those cars when new. The way they sounded, the way they screeched tires, the way they hauled... Those T-tops... Who cares if they leaked. Design got ruined in 79 when they changed the headlights. Thanks for the video!!!
Hello Julian! Agree with your comments completely except I was aged 12 not 13...but WOW! You are so spot on with your thoughts!
@@robertmielke6196 Great minds think alike!!! If I ever write a best seller, patent something, or just outright win the lotto, one of these - professionally restored of course - is on my bucket list. Some company in FL is producing a Camaro-based modern version of the Firebird, BTW. T-tops & all. look it up. Worth watching. Take care!!!
My ears hurt every time she says, "the screaming chicken". Is a PHOENIX you, you! (sight).
Screaming chicken lol! 😂 Phoenix rising from the ashes = Firebird
This is absolutely one of best cars I have ever seen. It would be so great to Drive it one time. It is a dream car.
Greetings from the Black Forest
Well at least Colleen didn't call the car a Camaro but since I'm a Trans- Am Expert and Master Mechanic Technician People say Screaming Chicken I don't Likey to much. But I had a few good Laughs when she was driving the car and walking out of the store with a tall boy Coors question is when she popped it open did she drink it. I have 76 Blk/Blk TA 455 4sp since 1985 back 70s80s90s I worked on a lot TAs owned by Friends and Customers Anyway I have so many Trans-Am stories/ Enjoyed the Video thanks Colleen aka Frog. My fav J.G. call over the CB "I'm in High Speed Pursuit of Black Trans-Am! He's all mine so stay out of the way! But I'm in High Speed Pursuit! Don't you hear Good"
It would be alchohol abuse to just throw it away.
Good looking car, but the shaker decals are incorrect. This one has the Olds 403 - not the Pontiac 400.
A wild ride ❤️ the trans am looks great too
I believe its called a phoenix, not a screaming chicken . Some people simply hear words and repeat .
beatiful car i love pontac transam
East bound and down we're loaded up and truckin! What Trans Am was better the one in original movie or part 2?
Love the vid!!!
Just found your channel today and this is the fourth video I've watched. Such a variety and great cars. The 512BB is my favorite.
Thanks, glad your enjoying it. More cars to come!
Nice Car 😎👍
I think “Screaming 🐔” is deliciously delightfully deliberate. 🤣
I need this girl to give me a tour of the back seat!!!
The most Baddest car on the planet 🌎🤠🍻and the fact you step out with a Coors in hand was the icing on the cake 🎂I have a Dream car and here you are in it 💪maybe One day☝️🙏❤️🔥😇
Thanks! Glad you liked it
The 4 cars sent by Pontiac were actually the 1976 10th anniversary models with the 1977 front ends placed on them. They were also 455 cubic inch engines, but the decals were changed to reflect the 77 model year engines in liters (6.6 T/A).
The cars were not 455 cars. All the 50 anv. 455 cars were 4spd trans the cars in the movie are all auto trans 400 cid with 180hp the call out on thw Shaker in the movie is 6.6 litre not TA 6.6 that was used for the W72 400 cid 200hp engine . Which was not out in 1976 the car here has the totally wrong call out it is a 403 Olds Engine you can spot the oil filler tube in front of the Shaker.
@@tomcherry7029 the stunt car, the one that made the jump was a 4 speed transmission and had a 331 Chevy race engine in it.
@tommyconner1467 lol wrong it had a built Big block Chevy in it not a 383 small block
@@tomcherry7029 was you there, Did you work on the car? Cause I don't remember you
@@tomcherry7029 if you know what engine was in the car, then tell me more about the driver's side seat and then tell me about the suspension
I had the 1984 version of the Pontiac Trans Am!
Actually the movie car is a 1976 with '77 front
With a 455, not a 400.
yes sir. You nailed it.
Pretty much, Pontiac wanted in on the product placement and utilised the film to introduce the new face
Stop saying chicken.......
Burt was given a new TA every year including the '77 from GM until the president changed I forget which year it was. Also the DOT changed the way HP was rated and went from Net hp tested on a dyno with NO accessories including and electric powered water pump and could be run with open headers. The change was made to SAE standards and tested with ALL accessories ac, water pump, alternator, PS pump and smog pump with factory exhaust to be as installed in a car, so the power ratings were really much more accurate as to what you really got when you buy the cars.
The hood decal was a option in 1978 I know I bought a black one with red velour interior in 78 brand new for like $ 8400 in canada loved that car after seeing it in the bandit movie me and a bud went out and ordered two black and silver those cars had all kinds of top end speed had mine up to 130 mph no prob with more pedal to go but backed off for fear a tire might blow.
In the movie the car they roll off the trailer is the the 76 LE model, after that they look like regular 77 models.
It sure was with a 77 front nose provided by Pontiac. When the movie was being filmed the 77 SE was not yet in production.
This car has the 403 Olds motor, and the " screaming chicken" is incorrect. It's called the " Phoenix "
Many use both terms. Screaming chicken is much more fun to say.
@@FerrarisOnline Those of us who were alive when this car was new would have never referred to it as a "Screaming Chicken". My good friend and his brother had a Gold one that was "Da Bomb" You felt like Don Johnson riding around Brooklyn, NY in one. Only sad that I didn't snap a picture of it the day I was standing next to it and the Concorde took off directly overhead.
Squirmin Herman the one eyed German that means it’s was repainted the engine is a 403 it’s hard to find a shaker decal the says “6.6 litre”
Squirmin Herman the one eyed German I know but a lot of the cheap repaints just use the 6.6 t/a despite having the other engine
As mentioned in the movie coming of the truck for first time it had 6.6 Litre, which indicates 403 olds engine. Plus think and reproduction or rebuild restore of real movie car should have the roof antenna and CB. And why anyone woud call it a screaming chicken when clearly it is an Eagle.
Makine budur , güç budur , haşmet budur , ihtişam budur.!!! Meşhur V8 , çalışmıyor resmen gürlüyor mübarek motor.!! 🙏🙏👍👍😀😀
America used to design such fabulous cars.
There is no way you came from my loins!!!!! - BTJustice
I sold my '78 Trans Am a year & a half ago. I also owned a 4-speed '73 Trans Am. What's with the peg-leg burnout? The 1-wheel peel? That car should have the Safe-T-Track limited slip diff, shouldn't it? And yeah, that's a 403 car. Maybe that's why it doesn't have the limited slip? I've been a huge fan of these cars since I saw my first one as a kid in '73 and I'm kind of a purist. Calling it a screaming chicken doesn't bother me one bit.
The clutch packs in the differentials never last.
@@FerrarisOnline I never had an issue with either of mine. I had the '73 from '99 till '05 when Hurricane Katrina ate it (Bitch.). I bought the '78 in '08 and sold it in '20.
Actually, this car has posi but the driveshaft torque lifts the right rear tire and plants the left tire hard, hence light marks on pavement from right tire, but dark black marks from planted left rear tire...
Open rear end wears out right rear tire fast, posi wears out left rear tire faster...
Learned all that back in the day from my '65 GTO...
Leaf spring hot cars with posi usually had an extra leaf in the right rear spring to help hold the right rear tire down better... and prevent axle wind up/tire hopping...
I have to agree that this particular T/A was probably just a car that someone built to make some quick bucks. Burt would sign anything for a 100 bucks or more. Olds 403 engine with standard axle? It looks like someone put after market remote locks and power windows in. Probably not a Trans Am to start with. I think all Trans Am's had Saf-T-Track rear ends with the larger engine. Both wheels should be Smokin' not just one!
I think ur right my 1978 had a 400 v/8 automatic with a 308 posi. correct me if I'm wrong 403 was a California only engine in 1977 or wasn't available till 1978.
@@jeepguy220 You are correct. 403 Olds. in 77 was for California and high altitude.

@@buzzwaldron6195 I have an Original 1978 Trans Am with the Pontiac 400 engine not a Special Edition however when I burnout both tires lay 2 dark streaks behind me. The lady did say that three Trans Am's were specially built for Burt, and not delivered by Pontiac, so these may have started out as a Pontiac Firebirds and built like the Movie Trans Am's. Some builders do that to save money. I would say that this is a Tribute Special Edition Trans Am from what I see. I see that this one was titled in 2014 to Burt thru an Agency. If they had taken a shot of the Serial Number Tag, I could tell more about this car. I remember seeing a episode of Counting Cars reality show where Danny Koker was building Burt a car and then learning that Burt had passed.
@@GaryLeeNo1 - If you do a power brake burnout and liquify both rear tires then you will get a different result than from just flooring it...
The sexiest car ever built
False, sexiest one was the 91 T/A
The gta yea thats a good one
I tapped out at “ screaming chicken “
I always wanted a Trans Am and the jacket would love this in my driveway for my 60th in 5 years time🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
it's not her fault she says 'screaming chicken'. whether or not that is accurate doesn't matter, it is what it's referred to as. all i can say is i can not imagine driving this car and not having 'east bound and down' blaring in your head! RIP Jerry, Burt and Jackie!!
A certain music company wouldnt give us permission to use it. :(
@@FerrarisOnline shocking. no matter, your videos are great
Thanks!
...a speedy car.... speedier than that... Also olds motors sound nice.
It's a bird on the hood. Quit saying chicken so many times!

That’s what all of the idiots at Car and Driver and Road & Track would say. It might have been Csaba Csere who coined the phrase, possibly Brock Yates.
Its funny that she probably doesn't know its a phoenix on the hood. Lol..
Its a chicken.
I got one to this day. Restoration needed. If you don’t know your fouls. Read your books
Right, i dont knoe how people dont know its a chicken.
I have one too. 1978. You can see it on Firebird's TH-cam channel, the dude from Australia.
Was this the one that was sold at Barret Jackson in 2016?
No it is not.
It sold at Carlisle in 2015. th-cam.com/video/BHXP1_vUeUg/w-d-xo.html
Based on the skid marks it appears it doesn’t have posi traction. I would assume a totally kitted out trans am replica of Smokey and the bandit would have that. One thing about that era of trans ams and Camaros of that time is you gotta keep an eye out for rust near the chrome molding around the front and rear windows. GM didn’t do a great job of rust proofing that back then. Most restorations have had to remove the chrome molding and rust proofing the metal under and around it.
It's not a "kitted out replica. "... in these cars, the limited slip clutches in the differentials never worked well.

About the bird logo, sadly, she knows what she is talking about (link below). Anyway, that logo design was a success because inspired people with a very powerful bird.
The point is that, besides it is funny for her repeat the derogatory "Screaming Chicken" (compare it for example with the much better "Screamin' Eagle", the HD brand), probably most of fans prefer Firebird, because if not the car would have been called _Pontiac RoastChick_ :P , and is not the case.
And if it is about making jokes, she faces to be called _Screaming Chick_ ... XD

Gotta love doing a skid in a open diff aka single pegger
Sweet
Driving like this you wonder why there is a limited number of them left
Not a chicken 🐔 but a PHOENIX RISING 👍
It was actually a 76 Pontiac Trans Am, modified to look like a 77.
So do you actually own it or did you borrow it for the video?
We sold it last year.
Not the bandit trans am the best had positive traction rear end I owned a 1977 trans am it was 6.6 4 speed manual transmission the car was unbeatable bored 30 over. Would do over 150 miles an hour. Burn both tires.leaving two black marks through 3 gears.

Make mine a Y82 edition and a 403 olds engine and I'm good to go.
Why did they put “Bandit” on the door of the 1977 Trans Am when the only time that “Bandit” was painted on the door during the movie was in the second movie and that was a 1979-80 Trans Am ?
I’m guessing they did it because they liked the look.
Burt had it done that way.
Thank you for saying Sally FieldS.
I always thought was and eagle on the hood . 😮
That My Favorite Old Muscle Car
I Always Have A Sense Of Humor !!!! Carrying On With A Screaming Chicken Makes Everything That T.A. Testrostrone, Seem Cheap Plastic !!!... SCREAMING EAGLE !!!!
I cant believe they did burnouts in this car ! It's a collector vehicle to be handled with care. Meaning that could have seriously threw stone chips among other things. People just don't get it. 😦
Coors beer blech !
I prefer the little bandit in the red shirt...

That isn't the actual trans am from the movie I know the guy who owns it and it was sitting in his gradage scene 1989 he's going to get it on the road again
It's a Phoenix not a screaming chicken.
Missing the correct license plates for authentic look.
Its not a screaming chicken. It is a firebird or another name for that,
is a "Phoenix"
Or screaming chicken.
Too bad these cars dont have a "true" posi you can see when doing doughnuts the outer tire spins less, so that's an indication of an LSD (limited slip) that one had a 403 not 400 Pontiac, I have a 79 and put a 400 in from a 70 GTO to get the power
It does have the 403. We made a mistake in the video and by the time we realized it. To late to reshoot, we will be putting the edit in the description.
@@FerrarisOnline you also keep calling it a screaming chicken on the hood. It’s a Phoenix, you say screaming chicken if you are mocking it or if you have no idea what you are talking about.
What? All Pontiac Trans Am's have a limited slip G80 Posi-traction GM Corporate 10-bolt as standard which was option on a base model firebird. L80 403 Oldsmobile or L78 400 Pontiac doesn't matter, it did not affect the driveline choice, and still always came with a limited slip differential. Looking at the video where the hood is open, it does indeed look like a Pontiac 400 as I cannot see the 403 Oldsmobile oil filler tube which should be visible from that angle on the right hand side of the block. So, in short, you've got no idea what you are talking about and an Oldsmobile 403 made 5hp more than the base L78 400.
Man its almost like someone built this car for someone and it might not have a posi.. weird huh...
It is a screaming chicken. It will always be a screaming chicken.
Despite the 6.6litre engine .......top end performance was very poor but who cares the trans am looked very cool indeed alot of trans am owners install a ls motor
The good old days I went to the dealership and told them my dad said I could have the car of my choice of course it was a fiber and about ran over a phesent on the interstate best test drive of my life this is Christy Thompson Sioux Falls South Dakota (°o°:)ᴼᴴᴴ yeah😊

No limited slip differential?!? Criminal! If I was building a resto-rod Smokey and the Bandit car, it would have an SD455 under the hood regardless of what the decals said.

Its a cruiser, also not a resto-mod.
@@FerrarisOnline it still should have a limited slip differential. Seriously, even many (if not most) Miata's had an LSD. What sense is there in a one legged differential connected to a 400 cubic inch motor? Even if you want to call it a cruiser.
Theres a good chance the clutch plate in the limited slip is not deteriorated. They werent known to last. So it could have limited slip.....
@@FerrarisOnline ya, that's a fair point. I wasn't thinking that deeply about it. It sure would be appropriate for it to have an LSD.

What is the bird called on a Trans Am?
That bunch landed on “hood bird” four decades ago and refuse to budge. Others go with “Rising Phoenix” or simply “Firebird.” Calling it Screaming Chicken degrades the symbol of a beautiful eagle on the hood. My personal opinion. I own my Firebird and I won't allowed anyone to call it chicken or screaming Chicken, because you don´t understand the real value of this car.
Its obviously a chicken.
This girl has no clue what she is taking about.
udaj se za mene :)
Colleen, I don't care what you call the bird on the hood, but where are your cowboy boots, Gal? You can't be driving a car like that in sneakers.

Great car but do Pontiac justice and call the emblem a Phoenix. It is not a screaming chicken 🗣️🐔
Phoenix is a mythical bird that rises from the ashes of fire. Firebird, Phoenix.
This car filmed trans am has a limited slip problem I think. Just one wheel is spinning, my trans am makes both wheels spinning...

Sweet car but the tires are incorrect for this car.
Sadly it's an automatic. Anyway, this will always be Rocky's car in my mind from Rocky II
Two problems, one who cares if it's a TH350 automatic they can seemed maybe 25 to 30 horsepower and were extremely reliable, secondly that's not even the car from Rocky 2 The car in Rocky 2 was a 1979 Y84 t-top delete

The term “chicken” or “screaming chicken” is absurd and disrespectful to the brand. Anyone who believes that Pontiac had a chicken in mind when designing the logo is a moron. The “chicken” was a derogatory term made up in the 70’s and early 80’s by Mustang and Corvette fanboys to try to degrade the brand.
It was never called a chicken in the owners manual and was called many things but never “chicken” by real Trans Am fans. Maybe it’s a ummmm a FIREBIRD!? That might work too! Nobody would put a chicken on a muscle car.
