1977 Trans Am Special Edition Sold to Mike
Mike
Barr (25) - Larne, Northern Ireland
"Its hard to come across a 1970's Special Edition Trans Am in good condition especially when you live in Northern Ireland. I came across my dream machine (Black 1977 Special Edition Trans Am) on Ebay and like anyone else I was pretty worried about buying a car over the internet (let alone in a different country!). After several emails back and forth from TA Specialties my mind was soon put to rest and I decided to go through with the bidding. Due to the USA and UK time difference I had to sit up until 4am in the morning to place my final bid. I really didn't think I was in with a chance but as it turned out luck was on my side and I won the car. Rick from Trans Am Specialties was more than helpful and kept me up to date with everything that went on with the car since the day of my purchase (he even sent me pictures of the car locked up safely in his garage when there was a potential threat of a tropical storm in the Florida area.) When the car finally arrived in the UK (I had to go to the South of England to pick it up) the rain was pouring from the heavens and my friend and I had an 8hr drive back up to Scotland ahead of us. When I saw the car roll out of the shipping yard NO amount of rain could have spoiled my day, visions of Smokey and the Bandit were flashing before my eyes. The car was exactly as described and in mint condition. We started her up, loaded the Jerry Reed CD and headed for Scotland to get it Mot'd which it passed first time! I now have the Trans Am in Northern Ireland and it turns heads wherever I go. I am still in contact with Rick from Trans Am specialties and he has since helped me get hold of several spare parts which I couldn't find in the UK or Ireland. I am glad that my first experience of buying a car online turned out well. If you are reading this and have any concerns or worries about buying a car from TA Specialties then fear not because I can reassure you that you will have NO problems whatsoever. Thanks Rick for all your help with the TA. I hope if you ever visit Ireland someday I can pick you up at the Airport in the car that I have wanted since I was 6 years old. (as long as you don't mind going straight to the pub of course!!) Cheers!! Mike Barr (25) Larne Co.

1977 Special Edition Tribute sold to Mike I was looking for years for Bandit in good shape, they were so expensive and hard to find, I met Rick with Trans Am specialties and he was able to find the perfect car to do a special edition look alike car at a very reasonable price.

Hello Rick,
I would
like to thank Rick from Trans Am Specialties for helping me get my perfect,
mint Trans Am. It was everything he told me that the car would be before I
ever saw it. The car that I have is a 1981 Trans Am, non Turbo car that has
ONLY 34,535 on it and it is all original. The car that I have has got some
history behind it also. Back in 1981 Pepsi Cola gave away 5 of these cars
along with one Corvette and I am lucky enough to have one of the Trans Am's.
A lady in Florida won this car when she was 61 years old. Rick found this
car for me. I would recommend Rick from Trans Am Specialties to anyone that
is looking for their dream car. His communication with you is great, the way
he describes the car to you on the phone is just what you will see when you
lay eyes on the car. You will be 100% satisfied when you see and get your
car.

Hi Rick
I just
wanted to thank you for the car I purchased from you I don’t know any thing
about ebay and letting some one have the option of stopping the bidding as
posted was a relief!!! Also I want to thank you for helping me rent a
trailer (actually driving us to uhaul dealer) and most of all helping (well
you did most of the work loading my 1979 SE on the trailer) and making sure
its tied down properly was above and beyond what I had ever expected!!! Also
calling to check up on us (me and my girl friend driving all the way back to
Dallas, Texas).
As far as
the car 100% satisfied you could of said a lot more about the car but you
kept it very very modest the car is better than you described I can not be
more happy with this purchase and from your customer service and
professionalism!!! I already won a trophy in the Dallas car show first one
ever entered! I have had so much fun with this car I keep it in my garage
and every night after work I just go out to the garage with one after work
beer and just stare at it!!! When I am out driving around the Dallas area I
feel like a rock star with all the attention is unbelievable these are the
next big thing I guarantee it!!!!!!!!
Anyone that
is considering purchasing any thing from Rick at TA-Specialties please call
or email me for a reference!!!
P.S. Thanks
for lunch at the great Cuban restaurant!!!!

Special Edition Smokey and the Bandit CD
Here
is also a little testimonial about the cars that we restore and sell. Of
course this will be the 30th Anniversary of Smokey and the Bandit released
in 1977. For the upcoming release for the new Special Edition DVD, we were
contacted to supply the car used for the photo on the cover of the new DVD.
It was a Trans Am which we restored for Don out of Texas.

He has also
taken the car to local car shows and pulled in a trophy or two.

1977 Trans am Special Edition
click photo for more pics
I've always
wanted a 1977 SE Trans Am. I found Rick and TA Specialites over the
internet, e-mailed him, and got the ball rolling. Rick found one within a
month of our first phone conversation. Almost 4 months later, I unloaded my
restored 1977 SE off the truck and into my garage. Rick and his team did a
great job with the car and kept me up to date w/their progress. For anyone
out there that's always wanted one of these cars, TA Specialties is the
place to start and end your search. Thanks Rick.

so much for your honesty and description of the 68' Charger R/T. It was
a pleasure to deal with you. In today's world it is hard to find people

with you (Trans Am)!

Hello Rick,
The car arrived
to Gothenburg monday this week and I could pick it up from the
customs on friday 21/12 without any shipping damage. We live 200 km
north Gothenburg. The car was as you described but there is some
rust in the trunk floor, going to put in new floor pans later. But
who cares, the car is in a very good condition as you told me, some
detail work and the car is very nice. Very good running engine and
trans. Thanks Rick, looking forward to do business with you again.
The swedish
souvenir comes soon.......................
Merry Christmas
and a Happy new year / Carita.
