This year marks the 30th anniversary of "Smokey and the Bandit". To commemorate the event, Motortopia, Restore A Muscle Car, 78TA.com, and YearOne have teamed up to bring you the The Bandit Run. The cruise retraces Bandit and Snowman's famous route from Texarkana to Atlanta with fun-filled stops along the way. All cars are welcome, especially Trans Ams!

Join the official Bandit Run group and get all the event details as they unfold... including a possible special guest appearance by the Bandit himself, Burt Reynolds!

Sure it looks similar, but they should have done a better job making it look like the 67-69 camero IMO. The "modern twist" is what I don't like. Honestly they really look nothing alike.

I thought the same thing at first but check the roof line and rear fenders. They only realy messed with the front and rear. At least IMO and in terms of general design. Of course the hood and roof are different and so forth.

The front end is ugly IMO. It's one area they could have done much better making it look like a classic camero. I agree the general body lines are close, but compared to the Mustang, it's not in the same league of looking like the origional. Mabye I'm being too picky, or perhaps Ford did such a great job on the Mustang it makes the others pale in comparison.

I totally agree! My one main problem with the new Camaro is the front end. You'll get no complaint out of me over the Mustang. I have a Mustang tattoo.
