Jesse James of West Coast Choppers and Monster Garage fame teamed up with Coors Brewing Company to build this resurrection of the infamous ’80s muscle-car. With a 415 ci engine, eagle-winged scissor doors, West Coast Choppers 3-piece racing wheels, and original Screamin’ Eagle hood art, this Trans Am is a 700 HP force to be reckoned with.

Before promoting this automotive beast with the Limited Special Edition 6 pack cans of Coors beer (sold during the Spring of 2005), Jesse gave the folks at ProCharger a call to add the muscle to the muscle-car. After the success of Monster Garage’s Army Tractor Puller episode, Jesse knew he could count on ProCharger’s self-contained supercharger technology to make the power he wanted while keeping the install-hassle low and the engine’s reliability high.

Though the ProCharger supercharger and bypass valve could have fit snuggly under the hood, after building the twin engine, exposed-blower tractor puller, Jesse insisted on cranking up the Bandit’s F-2 supercharger and prominently displaying a portion of it outside the hood.

Don’t be surprised if you see this mean, patrol-car dodging machine on the streets in your neighborhood–six lucky contestants from the Coors Bandit Giveaway contest were given the opportunity to go to Las Vegas and enter an amateur auto race for cash and prizes. The first place winner of this competition was awarded the grand prize–the right to drive home with the keys and pink slip to the Jesse James custom-built Coors Bandit!
