1977 was the year the Y-82 landed a spot in the movies and became a screen legend beside Burt Reynolds, ally Fields and Jackie Gleason. Titled Smokey and the Bandit, he movie was a big cops-and-robbers chase spectacular with Burt helping a trucker deliver some suds by acting as heat magnet for Sheriff Buford T Justice, layed by Gleason. The film was made in 1976 using several Trans Am equipped with what would be the SE package. With lots of comedy and action, he movie was a box office hit. This kind of product placement advertising was invaluable. Pontiac was instantly rewarded with high showroom traffic and virtually every "Bandit" T/A selling for sticker price.
Sales of 1977 SE's were high with 13,706 T-top models sold. The solid roof, known as Y-81 was less plentiful, nly 1,861 made. The engine choices in '77 were either a Pontiac 400 with TH350 trans, high perf Pontiac 400 with manual four speed Super T-10, r the high perf 400 mill was also available with the TH350. The third choice was an Oldsmobile 403 with TH350 tranny. The rare birds were Y-81s with the 4-speed equipped mill. Only 384 were made. Any four-gear Bandit is rare with just 3,083 made. The L78 was the most common T/A engine, delivering 180 hp, hile the performance W72 400 kicked out 200 hp. The Olds 403 had 185 hp. Used as the default mill in California, he 403 had a low profile in 1977.
