Hollywood’s 20 Best/Worst Car Movies

February 6, 2015

Smokey and the Bandit (1977)

Shallow story line…check.

Bad acting…check.

Did audiences care? Hell no! Everyone loved the bandit! Recently, Burt Reynolds posted the car for sale.

If there’s anything more iconic about Burt Reynolds than his mustache, it’s the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am from “Smokey and the Bandit.”

Now, Reynolds is selling just such a car. This one wasn’t used in the film, but was a promotional vehicle for the movie and then given to Reynolds, according to the listing.

“She features a 400 cid Pontiac V-8 engine with just over 12,000 miles, a 4-barrel carburetor and an automatic transmission,” the listing says. “This is an amazing opportunity to own what just might be the coolest car EVER!”

The Trans Am had a pre-auction estimate of $60,000 to $80,000, but sold for $450,000.
