Personally always thought the “Bandit” car was ugly without Sally Fields in it.

Wow 192,500 just because Reynolds owned it. You could buy some nice cars for that kind of dough. I never liked Trans Ams especially with the gaudy bird on the hood. Steve McQueens Ferrari fetched 8 Mil at auction.

Remember every 1978 American muscle car was underpowered and weak.

Even "vettes only had 185 HP in those days

I did too. But barely interesting enough to get through the 4 sentence, then click continue, clickbait crap that went with it I wonder how many people actually look at all those ads every page? I did not look at one of them :P

Yeah especially this one. Had a huge 455 big block engine which they managed to detune to about 200hp from the factory. Slow as F! A similar displacement engine about 10 years earlier was making over double that.

Saw an interesting " Chasing Classic Cars" yesterday.

Steve Jobs' BMW Z8 sold at auction in NYC for $300K.

Any Z8 is worth $200k and the Owner and Wayne seemed to be expecting $400k.

Apparently while Jobs was a Tech God, his demographic is not into cars that much
