Few cars embody pure attitude quite like a late-’70s Trans Am, and this one doesn’t just nod to the legend—it is the legend. Built by DKM and numbered 77 of only 203, this 1978 Pontiac Trans Am carries the swagger of Smokey and the Bandit with the muscle to back it up.

With just 58,000 original miles, it remains remarkably true to its era. Under the shaker hood scoop, the W72 400-cubic-inch V8 breathes through a true Ram Air intake, exhaling through Hooker headers and dual exhaust that give it that unmistakable growl. Backing it is a Muncie M21 4-speed—rowdy, mechanical, and made for drivers who like to work for every gear. A Positraction rear keeps the power planted, making sure the shove of that big-block torque doesn’t go to waste.

The chassis isn’t all show, either. WS6 suspension paired with Koni performance shocks sharpens the handling, while iconic 8.5-inch Snowflake wheels give it the stance that made the Trans Am instantly recognizable. The Hurst-Hatch T-tops seal the deal—open them up, and you’re instantly transported to late nights, long highways, and a time when cars had character written in chrome and smoke.

It’s more than a muscle car. It’s a time capsule, a piece of American pop culture cast in steel and fire. Number 77 of 203, this DKM Trans Am isn’t just another ’78—it’s a Bandit brought to life, complete with the grit, charm, and unshakable presence that made it an icon.
