Take a look at this week’s vehicle donation, a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. It’s almost an exact replica of the Trans Am from the 1977 film Smokey and the Bandit. This vehicle was generously donated to the American Cancer Society through the Cars for a Cure Vehicle Donation Program. Donating your car to ACS rather than just selling it will help save lives that might otherwise be lost to the disease. Your donation will help fund lifesaving cancer research, education, advocacy, and free patient service programs.
The donor shares how although this Pontiac is a restoration project, it does run and could be perfect for the right person. As a cancer survivor, this donor also shares his story of how through the research of the American Cancer Society his life was saved.
“This is the 1979 Trans Am. As you can see it is a T-Top and is a tribute to Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am. It was going to be a restoration project but over the past several years it has basically sat undisturbed. Cosmetically it is rough but would be an excellent project for someone. It does run and has two sets of keys. At one time it was worth much more than it is now but I have received offers for it in the condition that it is for $10,000.
I am a cancer survivor and it is by the grace of God and the research by the American Cancer Society that I am alive today. Without research I would be in my last days. Smokey and the Bandit was one of my favorite movies and at one time I looked forward to driving this car. However at this time I would like to donate it so the funds can be used to help other people survive cancer.”
Does your car have a special story? We would love to hear it! Be sure to share it with us so we can feature your car on our Facebook and Instagram pages. Your car might be featured on our Hall of Fame page!
