My local dealer has 77 bandit TA I really want. It Has 60k Oringinal miles near perfect condition. 400 big block with 4 speed. For 21k I offered him 18k he said no way! I really dont want to be in it at 21k but at the same time I dont want to pass it up. What do you guys think?

Is it a matching number car? Original 4 speed car? T-tops? Chrome valve covers? Deluxe interior? Options(8 track, air, apperiance package...ect.? All these things plus more are to be considered. I would run the vin tag and options tag under the hood to check also if it's a true special edition.

It is all original with matching#s And yes it has t-tops.

Hurst or fisher tops? Other options?

That 400 is a SB if I'm not mistaken- and for 21 for a stock T/A sounds high to me even if it was an SE.

Pontiac never offered a "big block". There all small blocks

Thats what I think. Thats why I dont want to go up to 21k. I thought 18k was fair.

Then what about the 440 then?

440 what, Chrysler? Pontiac never had a 440. 350, 400, 403(olds motor)455 is what was available in second gen birds. Other pontiacs like the goats, tempests, big car series had 428s but still all small blocks. Large valve heads yes but still considered small blocks.

is it as nice as this one

In what, the LeMans? I thought the 455 was an olds motor in the Pontiacs?

403 was the olds motor.

That one is crazy nice but 44k is insane.

I was kinda close

My bad it was a 455.
