I doubt they will ever catch fire like a Bandit car. You have to remember that Smokey and the Bandit no matter how cheesy of a movie some might think is a Iconic cult like movie where the car has become the star of the movie. For instance 77-81 Trans ams don't bring over 20 grand usually if they are not a SE car. That just goes to show the power of that movie. Has anyone tried to buy a General Lee charger clone these days. They are out of control too. That's an ugly car no matter how you slice it. But people still want to buy them.

Lot's of opinions in their Don. I'm a Chevy guy for muscle cars, but I love the Chargers. I'd happily drive one in a heart beat. 77-79 Trans Ams are real nice aesthetically IMO also. Screamin' Chicken or not. Now money wise, that's a different matter. Unlimited resources or not, I wouldn't pay what the BJ customers are paying for anything.

I could see that one going way up someday. Not all of them though. I know yours is on my list of &quot;want to haves.&quot; If I had the resources to have a &quot;collection&quot;, it would be in it. I used to have a real nice '84 Z. Slug? Sure, but I still loved it with the 5 spd. Yours has a lot going for it.
