Smoky and the Bandit Trans Am. That movie really polished that turd.

Just realized that I forgot to mention something in my earlier upbeat and joyful comment on today’s other Buc-ees article. The gluttony. Oh, man, the gluttony.

Well, the Trabant 601 should cover all the years from 1964 through 1990...

How is HB Halicki of Gone in 60 seconds Fame not on this list? 

Glad I’m not the only one. I preferred the original ‘73 Mustang Eleanor to what they did to the GT500 version.

I missed this, but the Buick 215. All-aluminum, lightest V-8 in the world at the time. First delivered in 1960, I think, still in production on the other side of the ocean 30 + years later.

Jesus Jezebel’s coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been dreadful. I hardly know where to start.

Just one point, from one world traveler to an aspiring one. If you make this vehicle out of a Jeep, you will have to get your parts sent from home. And you will need parts - the World is rough, and Jeeps are poorly engineered/manufactured. So budget plenty of time waiting around in dusty little towns for the parts to…

Welp have you seen the value of a true 1977 Y82 Trans Am?
