Couldn't find any history on a 1990 Smokey and the Bandit 2. Do they exist? Car definetely needs soom work..... but would be worth it if it's a desirable/rare car. Anywhere I could find info on this car would be helpful. It's supposedly a 1990 Firebird T/A Bandit II Edition. Has the eagle on the hood....like the older TA's. If I remember right, it also has a shaker hood.

Thanks.

 

I've seen a few of these cars before.

Here is one small page of info on them:

my dad has one in the shop, its interior is nice with bandit II etched in the headrests, black car, with nice rims,. Got hte shaker style hood but its been painted so no bird logo.

 

:hail: Man, thats sweet :hail:

 

This one's black too..... with gold accents. It's a t-top car. Hopefully it has a 350 TPI, I'll find out tomorrow.

i've only seen them with the 305 TBI engine as well.

This one (1991) was one on e-bay 2 months ago

And that one was NOT a Formula to begin with... another LO3 engine, but not a Formula.

the one we got is a 305 tbi with t-tops. I don't really like the gfx that were put on it. From the research ive done a place in tenesse called choo choo customs did the work.

 

Never noticed that he had called it a Formula in the ad, but i agree that you're right. Just was pointing out that it was a Bandit Edition. There was another one on e-bay several weeks before the one above was up for auction, but it was red.

 

Yep, Choo Choo Customs out of TN did those and the Pro Am Firebirds (plus "Team Camaros"). Basically just a base bird with an older style shaker hood mounted to the hood (not even a real shaker).

 

I like em. Wheres the pics of the black one?!? Would any of you think if that bird was smaller, it would look a bit better?

 

I can post some but it is damaged we picked it up at a salvage auction, hood, nose, driver fender, and headlamp are all screwed up. Plus a small bit of frame damage on the front driver side corner of the car.

 

What are ya loco, post the pics...lol!

If I bought a couple hundred base model Firebirds and stuck some tacky graphics and a cheesy plastic scoop on the hood, would they demand a higher price 10 years down the line? I sure hope not.

In my opinion if its not a factory option, the quality is in question.

 

I think Drew used the best word to describe the Bandit II... CHEESY!

 

the quality of work ive seen is good on the bandit ive had contact with.

 

pictures of bandit II i promised awhile ago

Bandit Exterior


Bandit Rims

Bandit Headrest

EDIT: Some how they got messed up on the server, when i get home from work today ill re post the exterior picture

EDIT 2: FIXED

 

Links not correct, first one is the rim, second shows the name stitched on the seat.

 

Exterior =rims

Bandit Rims =interior seat headrest.

 

It is all fixed now.

 

could you take some pictures of the gfx on it, i have the exact same one from 1989 with the embroidered seats and im looking for the gfx

 

i will take some pictures next time i got my camera at the shop. They are simple gfx. Just a piece under each door. I like the regular gfx more imo.

 

thanks alot, i was looking at the pics of a red one on a website, and i really like the ones under the door, and i was wondering if there was anything on the scoop, and what bird was on the hood

thanks
adam

 

All of the Bandit II's I have seen have had "5.0 Litre EFI" on the scoop. Not sure if liter was spelled american style or brittis "litre" like the late 70's cars.

The hood bird looks like the bird from 1979 - 1981 non turbo trans ams.

 

10 years, no way, but no thirdgen is worth crap right now, 10 more years though.. watch :P

 

any good news on those pics? im looking for the decals especially and the bird

thanks
adam

 

I have the GFX that they used on those Bandit cars. They were on my '89 Formula. They are in good shape. PM me if you want to buy them.

 

i just listed a scoop on ebay if anybody is interested.
