Then came the fully loaded, Limited Edition 10th Anniversary Trans Am, a direct descendant of the famed black-and-gold “Smokey and the Bandit” Trans Am but without its muscular 455 V-8.

Out of 219,000 Trans Am models built that year, Pontiac only produced 7,500 10th-anniversary models, which sold for approximately $10,000 (about $37,680 in today’s dollars) when new.
