'Smokey and the Bandit' - 1977 Pontiac Trans Am
The 1977 movie "Smokey and the Bandit" tells the story of a man illegally hauling beer across state lines. The truck is led by a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am driven by Bo "Bandit" Darville, portrayed by Burt Reynolds. He drives in a spirited fashion designed to distract the authorities from the truck, sort of like an automotive rodeo clown.
The car used in the movie is a second-generation Firebird Trans Am, which appeared in the 1980 sequel "Smokey and the Bandit II" and in 1978's "Hooper," also starring Reynolds. Fans who want one for themselves can find a red and white model in mint condition for $25,500 through Hemmings Motor News.
