In 1978, still reeling from the windfall that the film Smokey and the Bandit provided in terms of Firebird sales, Pontiac Motor Division presented Reynolds with a black Special Edition Trans Am, one that looked like those used in the movie. This was not the first time. Reynolds had received a Trans Am the previous year and others after this one, but the story of this particular car is interesting and also has historical significance beyond its owner.
In order to put the entire Special Edition Trans Am story into perspective, one must understand the option codes for the years in question. The '77 Special Edition was available in black and with or without T-tops. The solid-roofed version was option code Y81, while the T-top version, which used hatches manufactured by Hurst, was code Y82. The Y82 was far more popular, selling 13,706 units to the Y81's 1,861.
In January 1978, Solar Gold was added to the choice of SE colors, and it featured a new roof-hatch system from Fisher Body. In addition to being larger, the Y88 Trans Am hatches were coated with a mirrored-gold treatment. Due to paint problems and other issues, the Y88 Trans Ams did not return for 1979, though strangely, Solar Gold did. At the same time, a black Special Edition Trans Am was also available that used Fisher hatches with smoked glass, option code Y84.
