Officially, there was never a "Bandit" edition T/A, to my knowledge. All of them were the Special Edition T/A's which had particular styling cues such as gold painted grilles (instead of black), a gold instrument panel, center caps, shift knob, etc. That's one reason there's a lot of clones out there, since you can order most of what you need to do it from the repro houses.
And no, it's not a Bandit...just a garden-variety 6.6 (400) equipped '77 T/A. I'm thinking of a black-and-silver scheme for it, to make it different from the dime-a-dozen black-and-gold T/A's out there. A bit more work on the steering and wiring, and she's a driver again! Then bodywork and paint, and a new interior, and some serious engine detailing (it runs fine but does have an exhaust leak).
