I agree that most people in the Pontiac world have never heard of them. They were in business from 1979-1985. They sent a Bandit to Motor Trend Magazine for an article and testing in 1980 or 1981. They had the rights to the Bandit name from Universal Studios and built brand new Trans Ams with 400 hp built 455 engines and Turbo 400 transmissions or Doug Nash 5 speeds. There were 30 to 40 cars built. I recently bought possibly the only 1979 10th Anniversary Trans Am they built with 16,000 miles. I would like to have some literature from them to go with the car. The group in Miami goes by Trans Am Specialties of Florida. They are not connected with the original Trans Am Specialties.
