Bandit-style

Burt Reynolds' black screamin' chicken for sale. This isn't one of the originals from the movie; those have been in private collections for years. This is a heavily modded restoration that Reynolds has recently titled in order to give it some provenance. A publicity stunt, really.

The car, a 1978 Firebird Formula, packs serious resto-mod firepower. Under the hood is a fuel-injected 505cid V8 from Butler Performance. Trick aluminum heads, March pulleys, ceramic headers, and a full custom 3-inch exhaust... The gearbox is a five-speed Tremec manual, with a Detroit Speed mini-tub rear and Hurst line-lock to ensure maximum tire smoke. It's also got full coilover suspension and, of course, oversized snowflake-style wheels. The interior's all custom, too, replete with Pioneer and JL audio equipment.

That's probably the only way to make those cars worth a damn: lift up the body and drive a modern car under it, then weld them together.
