1977 Pontiac Trans Am Tribute Tops $18,000 on 25 Bids With 4 Days Left

$18,000 is already behind this no-reserve 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am tribute on Hagerty Marketplace, where bidding has reached 25 offers with four days remaining.
The Colorado-titled coupe was converted from a white hardtop into a black-and-gold 'Bandit' homage, pairing a 400-cubic-inch V8 with a four-speed manual — a rarer late-1970s Trans Am setup.
54,100 miles are listed as unconfirmed, and the seller flags chips in the older respray, a battery draw, a missing fan shroud and trim tag, plus prior floor-pan and transmission-tunnel repairs.
Hagerty valuation data suggests 400-powered manual cars command more than six-cylinder or automatic Firebirds, while Bandit-style graphics can add nostalgia-driven premium even on non-original builds.
The auction will test how much buyers will pay for a driver-quality, modified tribute rather than a numbers-matching 1977 Trans Am.
