1979 Pontiac Trans Am — Y84 Special Edition

This is the car every kid drew on the back of a schoolbook. The Y84 Special Edition is the definitive black-and-gold Trans Am — the “Bandit” spec made famous on screen — with the gold “screaming chicken” across the hood, gold snowflake wheels, and removable T-tops for open-air V8 theatre. Ours is a genuine, numbers-matching Y84, not a tribute or a clone, right down to the original CB radio.

You don’t rent this car to get somewhere. You rent it for the event of it — the rumble at a cold start, the heads that turn at every gas station, the photographs that look like they fell out of 1979. It’s a driving-experience car: perfect for a special day out, a birthday, an anniversary, or a photo and film shoot. [CONFIRM ENGINE: the rare Pontiac 400 with 4-speed manual, or the Oldsmobile 403 automatic?]
