The "Bandit" trans am was a 1977 model, my current one is a 1976. The (2nd gen, F-body) ones with turbos were sold in 1980 and 81 and had a small block 301 cubic inch motor only (they were pretty unreliable and most have long had the turbos binned) 76 was the last of the high power big block optioned trans-ams
