PROJECT Bandit (ongoing)
This vehicle was rescued from long-term storage in a large, damp warehouse, where it had remained untouched and neglected for nearly a decade. Acquired as a partially started project, it arrived as a rolling shell accompanied by a substantial collection of loose parts, all boxed and disassembled.
What makes this car particularly special is its provenance—an authentic 1978, factory-produced black T-top model, featuring a numbers-matching 6.6L engine. As the same specification used for the iconic ‘Bandit’ car featured in the legendary Smokey and the Bandit films, it’s an exceptionally rare and desirable find for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Despite the work required, this project represents an exciting opportunity to restore a true piece of automotive and cinematic history to its former glory.
