The 1990 Bandit II Special Edition Firebird

Trans Am Guru · Jan 3, 2019

The Bandit II was designed to pay homage to the famous ’77 Special Edition Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. Documentation is extremely limited regarding where they were sold and variances from car to car, but 600 were made in 1990. The $4,500 conversions took place at the Chattanooga Customs Center (a division of Choo Choo Customs) in Tennessee and were offered to nearby dealerships. They began in the ’87 model year with 500 proposed conversions, as evidenced by a dash plaque. By 1990, the planned conversions had grown to 600, and they continued until 1992.
