Modern Car Collector readers who love a good underdog story, and an even better muscle car, are going to want to pay attention to this one. Dream Giveaway’s newest prize is a black-and-gold 1977 Pontiac Trans Am Special Edition, the same silhouette that turned Burt Reynolds into a highway legend in Smokey and the Bandit. Enter the giveaway here, and every donation you make between now and September 11 earns you 5X the normal entries, stacking your odds fast.
This isn’t a tribute build or a replica pulled from a swap meet, it’s a genuine Y81 Special Edition Trans Am, one of only 1,477 built that year, powered by the 6.6-liter T/A V8 and backed by a Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission. Factory extras like power windows, cruise control, and the AM/FM stereo with an 8-track player round out a car that reads like a time capsule of 1977 Detroit muscle. You can browse the full spec sheet and photo gallery on the official entry page, where the bonus-entry window is ticking down.
What separates this particular Trans Am from every other black-and-gold clone on the market is the autograph on the sun visor. Before his passing, Burt Reynolds personally signed this car, turning an already desirable Special Edition into a one-of-one piece of Hollywood and automotive history. It’s the kind of provenance that simply can’t be purchased at a dealership or bid on at auction, the only way to add it to your garage is to win it through this giveaway link.
Here’s the part that should make MCC readers move quickly: donations made through September 11 unlock 5X bonus entries, and every entry supports charities that serve veterans and children. Dream Giveaway is also covering $26,000 toward the federal taxes on the prize if you win, so the number on the dash is the only number you have to worry about. Head over to the giveaway page now before the bonus window closes.
Whether you’re a die-hard Pontiac fan, a Smokey and the Bandit devotee, or just someone who appreciates a genuinely rare piece of muscle car history, this is a giveaway worth a few minutes of your time. Enter now through the official Dream Giveaway page, lock in your 5X entries before September 11, and give yourself a shot at parking a legend in your own driveway.
