Bandit Introduced at SEMA
Well here comes 1978 all over again.
This could be one of the nastiest Bandit T/A's Around. Complete with an all aluminum 572 BBC and a TKO600 5 speed trans, the drive train is built to handle anything, a sheet metal 9" housing with 33 spline axles and 3.73 posi. The rear suspension is a prototype Speed Tech Performance torque arm with adjustable pan hard bar and coil over shocks. The wheels are limited production 19" Forgelines 9" wide fronts and 12" rears. A full custom interior featuring custom Gauges intended to keep the original feel of the gold engine turned dash but with out all the tacky 78 feel. Custom stiched leather seats by Tracy from Recovery Room Interiors in Nebraska, Arguabilly one of the best in the business. Tracy also was responsible for the difficult task of leather wrapping the stock dash as there are no replacemements available for this car.
This is car was introduced at the 2008 Sema Show in the Speed Tech Performance booth and The build plan was to keep the traditional feel of the Bandit, with an updated drive train, including brakes and suspension along with a nasty look and stance.
