03-30-2009 A big thank you to
Brandon Atkins
for his generous donation to the Bandit Club this month! Also this
update from Brandon in a recent email.
"Hey George, just wanted to send you some updated pics of my
car. I just bought a refinished set of 15x8 turbo alloy
wheels and wrapped them in Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires
and put them on my 76 TA. I haven't seen anyone yet with
these wheels on a 76 so I thought I would be different. I'm
still keepin my honeycombs, I kinda did it to get some piece
of mind. I had a center cap fall off one of the honeycomb
wheels and got scratched up, not cheap. Also trim rings are
very scarce and expensive, I don't have any really nice
condition 15 inch rings. The turbo wheels look quite nice on
the 76! Take care!!! Brandon Atkins" They do look
pretty cool!

03-20-2009 Congratulations to David Hershey for his first place win at the Arkansas Pontiac Associations big spring show in Little Rock, Arkansas! Also, coming in August, his Bandit car will be featured in the new Will Ferrell comedy called 'The Goods: The Don Ready Story'. The movie is due out in August and is about a used car salesman (Jeremy Piven) tasked with selling all the cars at his lot over one weekend. David said, " My car is featured as the 'marquee' car on the lot and several principle scenes were shot in it. The movie co-stars Ving Rhames, David Koechner, James Brolin and Alan Thicke. The attached pic of my wife, Lori aka Frog with David Koechner and my car in the background. The special fx team had to make it look very beat up and worn with FX powder. I nearly had a cow when I first saw it! The movie was shot in 2008 near Pasadena, CA. The movie producers specifically asked for a black 1977 Trans Am...Will Ferrell has great taste!"
