I bought a '78 bandit Trans Am in 1978. I was 22 at the time. Saw the movie at drive-in theater in that car. When the movie ended and I slowly cruised outta there, people were cheering and honking their horns. I felt like Burt Reynolds, if only for moment. The man's a legend and so is the car. The man that bought the car from me is selling it back to me next month. Completely restored. I got goosebumps just thinking about owning it again.
Did you pay a slightly higher price this time , you don’t have to answer. I had a 70 mustang I wanted to get back and I watched a Lincoln continental rear end and total my baby .
@@PeterSmith-ls7ut dout he has it but i know people that still have muscle cars they had as far back as high school so you never know..i wish i had some of mine i see them selling for high amounts
Mario Iacolucci John Staluppi is who bought the car. He has a Car Museum in West Palm Beach Florida. The people that buys cars have the cars delivered to where you live or want them sent. John is 1 of the Top Car buyers at Barrett Jackson. John also has had several mega yachts built for himself. He names them after the James Bond 007 Movies.
You know Burt Reynolds did his own stunts for most of his career so by this time and age I'm sure he was constantly in pain. Burt was part of the Golden era of Hollywood the best days of Hollywood...RIP Burt.
Smokey and the Bandit is my favorite movie hands down...Burt Reynolds Sally Field Jackie Gleason Jerry Reed Mike Henry Pat McCormick and Paul Williams..just incredible actors.. ALL of them...my dream car is this exact car 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Black & Gold 6.6L...R.I.P. Jackie Gleason Jerry Reed and Pat McCormick!
Smokey and the Bandit was the best movie ever made it was popular when it came out over 40 year's ago and is still popular my 9 year old son just watched it and absolutely loved it, Beautiful car RIP Burt
Coolest car ever. I was 6 years old when the movie came out. I always told myself that one day I would get one. When I was 29 years old, I made my dream a reality. I am 48 now and I still have it. I love that car.
They didn't have torque like a Vette had in the sixties those 455s were Sow engines it was more fun to hear the bitch yell and scream before it blew up
If it was the actual screen used hero car, or Burt's actual car, than a million for sure! This is just a promo car. Never saw screen time. It's basically a regular TA that Universal owned, and toured around, and that's it. It has a universal sticker and some memorabilia. I'd say $40k for the signed hat, jacket, and promo material and $250,000 (at MOST) for the car. Someone got swept up in the excitement and overpaid.
You are missed Burt, I still see you pulling back that Bear Archery bow in Deliverance. A master piece of a movie. I watched Smokey And The Bandit,,,, thank you for story and run in life. We all watched you.....I am sure your east bound and down in Trans-Am.
Bill, I remember that scene in that 🎬! Deliverance, was a disgusting movie, watching those back yard hillbillies ( white trash) with three teeth in their mouths each, try to rape and sexually humiliate those other two full grown men. But came out with that Bow & Arrow and saved the day. Re: Smokey and the Bandit, he is a legend, and so is the car. The 77 Y82 SE TA loaded with all the bells and whistles and the 78 Y88( golden edition) with gold velour, are by far, my top two favorite Trans Ams, followed by the 89 TTA indy pace car, followed by the 81 Nascar Edition TTA, indy pace car. The Nascar TA came with red Recardo seats, with red carpeting, and black door panels. Both the 80 and 81 TTA came with beautiful oyster white paint to. To bad those TTA's, couldn't get out of their own way...lol😂
I had the Bandit Trans Am Hurst edition mint. I had to sell it many years ago to pay off college debt. I’ve regretted it ever since. Absolutely the coolest car ever built imo. I will have you again some day old friend.
Burt Reynolds and his Trans Am... It is more than cult, it is a life philosophie! In fact, it is more than just a movie... Still and always we'll be with you Burt...
Me and my little brother went to see Smokey & The Bandit 9 times. Same amount of times we went to see BILLY JACK. It is so sad that both these great men are dead now Tom Laughlin and Burt Reynolds. When both of them died I cried I cried for not only them but for me and everybody else I knew on a personal level first, because with every day of all of us, our name moves one more notch up the list to the day we die. Closer and closer we get.
I can't believe that as a child we watched the movie on tv, not cable tv, for free. Now I have Amazon Prime and they want you to pay to watch it all these years later.
I was 10 when movie was in theaters which saw the movie, then when was available on VHS I bought the movie as the sequel & now for past several years have on dvd including the sequel.
In the summer of 1977 we drove from Florida to Colorado in a black and gold TA with a Uhaul behind it. One of those small uhaul boxes with wheels on. Never see them anymore. By the time we got to Colorado the rear springs were permanently messed up. So the car sat low in the back. That summer was great. We listened to Fleetwood Mac on the radio through every town we passed. No tape or 8 track. Just FM AM.
I think what would of been REALLY cool, is if it were both Burt Reynolds AND Sally Fields driving up in it, I just think that would of been more appropriate...but still cool as hell. I was a kid back when the Bandit movies came out...RIP Burt...🙏🙏🙏
This was one he had to sell the Bandit two years back. I bet he felt like he was loosing a baby. As long as that car exists and runs the Bandit and Burt's spirit will always exist. That car is as old as I am. My husband is two years older than the Bandit. Can't believe he's gone. May the Lord keep him. Great video to remember him by and his trusty steed. It was emotional to see this especially when your from is neck of the woods. Few miles from Lake Worth too.
When the CEO of Pontiac at that time died, the new CEO wouldn't give Burt one of these Trans-Ams he was promised by the one that died. He had to buy one. Greedy assholes, no wonder GM folded the Pontiac division!!! If it wasn't for this movie, this car would have been just another low horsepower, smogged up motor, decaled, disco ride, and all but forgotten from a collectibility standpoint. Burt, and the movie made this car iconic.
I have a 78 blk and gold TA 4 speed T Top..and a 71 Formula 400..i enjoy driving my Formy more because its the real hot rod..YS block .30 Built butler performance 500 hp..RIP BURT..
Half a million, holy shnikies!! Image having that kind of money to buy this car for a collection...wow. I can remember working at a guys house and telling him I had a smokey and the bandit trans am then he took me out to his garage and he had one in mint shape. I'll never forget that. One of the most iconic cars next to thr General Lee and Kitt.
I always thought Burt Reynolds was to cool growing up me growing up a car kid to a man that's why I had to own a couple in my life a Firebird Firehawk in '95 then a Trans Am Firehawk '02...wish I would've kept those cars love those t-tops and I had the 6-speed in both
My most sincere condolences to people that didn't own one of these cars when they were in their twenties. I had a 77, 79 and then an 87 GTA. I feel bad for people that have gone through life and never lived at all
Well damn, using your logic a life just isn't lived well till your drive one of these. Please. I love these TAs as much as the next guy, but there is TONS more to life and happiness than what car you've driven.
Bought a ' 79 Bandit T/A brand new off the dealer's lot from Moody Pontiac in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. It was gorgeous but rarely removed the t-tops because it was so hot. The car cost $9,250.00.
Beautiful car back then those cars was popular in movie or someone had one . In the 70s cars was beautiful 77 t bird was nice 77 mercury cougar Ford Ltd Lincoln and Cadillac Oldsmobile Pontaic those years was great movie music I'll miss those years To bad it gone like all the great actor are gone too
Too funny! My Dad is 68 years old. He's doing pretty well after a scare that he'd given us here recently and just spent a week in the hospital. Due to heart failure. He's been okay here in there. But, he raised me of 85 and my two older brothers of 80 and 81 and my sister of 1991 by him self. He always says his first brand new TransAm was before the movie ever showed and his first Brand new car was a Dodge Duster and a few years later he told my Uncles wife when they'd went out to eat one day and he'd seen an earlier 70's model TransAm that was white with the blue birds that he was going to have one of those one day and he actually ordered it in 1977. It was black and gold with the newer facial. His didn't have the leather interior though. He had the red cloth interior and in 1979 he drove the silver 10th anniversary off the showroom floor that he'd purchased for my mother. And in 1993 he drove an all black one off the showroom floor. The 79 was all I could remember though. It was bad ask! The 93 was absolutely beautiful! He sold it in 2000 with less than 45,000 miles on it for $14. Back in 2017 we got him a 1980 that's totally redone. It's just not the same. But, to go back and look at the silver 10th anniversary TransAm case folder or the manifold with all the options and the old papers that are all dingy and shows the price with all the options is just crazy. It's a pretty plastic cover that holds open and actually has all the stuff, options and a picture of the 79. Funny how times changed. He never liked the 82-92. But, I loved them all!
Forma the exactamente momento I learned through the news on CNN about the passing away of Burt Reynolds, AKA Bo "Bandit" Darville, I promised to myself remembering him each time i see a golden and black Pontiac Trans- Am on the Riad again.
I was born in 1960 I was 18 years old I bought a 1978 special edition Bandit Trans Am mine had tan interior I love that car or should I still have it set timer I had so much fun in it picked up a half a lot of good-looking women good looking women
I had small Mattel replica of this car and reddish orange colored Lamborghini countach they I adored growing up in 1980! I wish I had the replica toy cars still but it’s probably inside a dump or buried a foot under the ground.
it was voted AMERICA's of all time favorite car as well as my fav car... 2;; the 69 charger DUKES OF HAZZARD...... MY FAVORITE movie to i was 11 thanks dad and my mom for taking us to see it he was my dads fav actor as well southern tradition

I bought mine in 1979 , new it was 8, 700.00 came with T top. 6.6 liter suspension package and air. The only difference between this car and mine was the front bumper
Hooper was a good and funny as hell Burt movie too. The stunt man that jumped the rocket car in it got something like 50 grand to do that very dangerous jump.
I was 10 years old we I saw Movie at drive-in I thought was coolest movie still do. Years later talking to my Father-in-law worked at G.M. said movie was out sales of Pontiac Trans-am were all time high.

RIP my friend
Did Burt Reynolds die ?
@@SongWhisperer he past away rest in peace burt reynolds
Two American Icons - The Man and The Car.
Savop what happens to the car after it gets sold where does it go from the auction?
Mario Iacolucci
John Staluppi is who bought the car.
He has a Car Museum in West Palm Beach Florida.
The people that buys cars have the cars delivered to where you live or want them sent. John is 1 of the Top Car buyers at Barrett Jackson.
John also has had several mega yachts built for himself.
He names them after the James Bond 007 Movies.
I don't think you are getting the man but yes The car
I was born in 71 and i have the fondest memories of laughing my ass off to Burt’s movies with my Dad. Burt will always have a place in my heart.
Smokey and the Bandit - I love this movie, still have the VHS today. Also Sheriff Buford T. Justice will always have a place in my heart.
You know Burt Reynolds did his own stunts for most of his career so by this time and age I'm sure he was constantly in pain. Burt was part of the Golden era of Hollywood the best days of Hollywood...RIP Burt.
James Garner did his own stunts as well..He was in so much pain that its one of the reasons why the Rockford Files show ended.
Reynolds as his other colleagues had many injuries because as know it 's very hard to do stuntman and especially dangerous
Smokey and the Bandit is my favorite movie hands down...Burt Reynolds Sally Field Jackie Gleason Jerry Reed Mike Henry Pat McCormick and Paul Williams..just incredible actors.. ALL of them...my dream car is this exact car 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Black & Gold 6.6L...R.I.P. Jackie Gleason Jerry Reed and Pat McCormick!
RIP Burt Reynolds too now
It was such a a great cast

The 1977-1981 Trans Am SE in black & gold is one of the top 50 cars in history.
nothing is more kick ass than burt reynolds in a black bird.
This car is just light years in beauty ahead of every other car.even in the movies.what a beauty
They didn't have torque like a Vette had in the sixties those 455s were Sow engines it was more fun to hear the bitch yell and scream before it blew up
Engineers of those probably had ugly wives
Somebody got a million dollar car for half price. The most iconic muscle car/ panty-dropper ever. Period.
I would debate that. The 2000 ‘Eleanor’ is probably more iconic and went for $1,000,000.
Iconic and beautiful cause of the Movie, performance wise it was not very fast. Cool car though.
Million dollar car?! That car ain't worth the $500k it sold for!!
@@EtoTheKay youre a dumbfuck
If it was the actual screen used hero car, or Burt's actual car, than a million for sure!

Never give up the dream.
Most bad ass iconic car in America’s history period
NorthTexasFarming I agree but i love the 71 72 chevelles way better
WRONG.!!!!THE Batmobile.!!!!!!!!
Love the 77 bird but love the general too!
Nah ! General way better
What a beautiful, beautiful car man. One of my all time favorite cars
Mine too
I finally found the original movie a few weeks back and played it for my wife... she loved every minute of it and i drank coors beer in his memory
I had one of these.. it was a manual 4 speed though with the 400 big block 4 brrl.. god I miss that car. Good times
Greatest American movie star with the greatest American car of all-time. Honey hush !!!
Burt Reynolds is a legend
Loved this movie as a kid especially the big rigs I became a truck driver in my early ,20s now I'm 49
Here’s another movie for you, ‘Convoy’, you’ll be spanking it by end.
That paint looks like glasssssssss..so beautiful
They should have brought back the Trans Am.
It's back
PP Kaizen pontiac doesn’t even exist anymore ??
@@brockholder902 theres a company called trans am depot that converts Camaros into trans am and even works on the engines too
BubblegumPimp ohh true i think i remember seeing that actually
@meth_lungs true but they are all GMs so basically the same
I forgot just how gorgeous the T/A was...I especially loved the dash with the machined aluminum. We miss you, Burt!
👍🏽As a kid looking inside & seeing that (( RAINBOW )) dash in the sun !!!
R.I.P. good buddy.
What about Fred. He’s one hellacious watch dog
He’s a tremendous asset.
I had the Bandit Trans Am Hurst edition mint. I had to sell it many years ago to pay off college debt. I’ve regretted it ever since. Absolutely the coolest car ever built imo. I will have you again some day old friend.
Time I did NOT wish to see, was Burt passing. Love you Burt, you're the reason I show off today..
Burt Reynolds and his Trans Am...
It is more than cult, it is a life philosophie! In fact, it is more than just a movie... Still and always we'll be with you Burt...
The most iconic in the world! Rip Burt
Thought it would go higher especially with Burt sitting in it. What a great movie star Burt was love to watch his movies my favorite Sharkys machine.
Yeah me to Sharky's Machine and stick
Gator, WW and the Dixie dance Kings
I started to put down my favorites of Burts...then got to about a list of 10, and could keep going...too many! He was a good man...and he is missed!
it's a promo car. universal owned it and that's it. If it was actually used in the movie, then we'd be talking.
He's WONDERFUL and miss him he's the MAN
Me and my little brother went to see Smokey & The Bandit 9 times. Same amount of times we went to see BILLY JACK.
It is so sad that both these great men are dead now Tom Laughlin and Burt Reynolds.
When both of them died I cried I cried for not only them but for me and everybody else I knew on a personal level first,
because with every day of all of us, our name moves one more notch up the list to the day we die. Closer and closer we get.
Two legends. Jackie Gleason made the movie though.
they said he was off script most of the movie,,, just off the cuff and they kept the cameras going 😆
Ich liebe dieses Auto seit meiner Kindheit. Wäre ich Millionär, würde glatt eine Mille bezahlen, daß ist er mir wert
I can't believe that as a child we watched the movie on tv, not cable tv, for free. Now I have Amazon Prime and they want you to pay to watch it all these years later.
One of favorite movies and car . Iconic for sure 🎬
Child of the 70s,God I miss the 70s.
Some cars just look "right."
This car looks "right."
Needs a 6 speed Tremec ! Then it will be done ! 666 OUT
We Miss you so much Burt Reynolds . R . I . P . 🙏🙏 Fance from Germany !!!! .
I was 10 when movie was in theaters which saw the movie, then when was available on VHS I bought the movie as the sequel & now for past several years have on dvd including the sequel.
Westworld, Scottsdale Arizona! I went to this place for Cactus Cup mountain bike race in 1996 ❤
RIP Burt, The Bandit lives on in so many of us, even if the Trans Am stopped being made.
In the summer of 1977 we drove from Florida to Colorado in a black and gold TA with a Uhaul behind it. One of those small uhaul boxes with wheels on. Never see them anymore.

i could not agree more with you. that would've been a show stopper indeed.
We love and truly miss you Burt !!❤
This is ye olde América that I love, grew up in the UK watching Smokey and the bandit every saturday lol great tô ser This video
Burt reynolds en sus tiempos cuantas peliculas realizo y ha sido muuy admirado por la gente dios le bendiga
he refuses to read whats on the card they insist he reads lmao...
Bonito carro y gran pelicula
Burt wasn't wearing his reading glasses. Someone should have given them a heads up.
Perhaps the most memorable car of the 70's. Even the basic Firebird popularized by James Garner in the Rockford Files.
I had a good time that day. Cars were amazing
This was one he had to sell the Bandit two years back. I bet he felt like he was loosing a baby. As long as that car exists and runs the Bandit and Burt's spirit will always exist. That car is as old as I am. My husband is two years older than the Bandit. Can't believe he's gone. May the Lord keep him. Great video to remember him by and his trusty steed. It was emotional to see this especially when your from is neck of the woods. Few miles from Lake Worth too.
My dream car 77 Trans Am I saw smoking and the Bandit 16 times when I was 13 years old at the movie theater!!!!!!!

Sure do miss you mr. Reynolds thank you for what you gave me rest in peace
Always first, never second best. It's that streak of black lightning called the Bandit Express.
Half a million, holy shnikies!! Image having that kind of money to buy this car for a collection...wow. I can remember working at a guys house and telling him I had a smokey and the bandit trans am then he took me out to his garage and he had one in mint shape. I'll never forget that. One of the most iconic cars next to thr General Lee and Kitt.
Bert was a awesome man, we will miss him greatly. Smokey and the Bandit "Rocks"!
$500,000? Someone got caught up in the moment! lol
For the money for the glory and for the fun! Mostly for the money!
I always thought Burt Reynolds was to cool growing up me growing up a car kid to a man that's why I had to own a couple in my life a Firebird Firehawk in '95 then a Trans Am Firehawk '02...wish I would've kept those cars love those t-tops and I had the 6-speed in both
My most sincere condolences to people that didn't own one of these cars when they were in their twenties. I had a 77, 79 and then an 87 GTA. I feel bad for people that have gone through life and never lived at all
Well damn, using your logic a life just isn't lived well till your drive one of these. Please. I love these TAs as much as the next guy, but there is TONS more to life and happiness than what car you've driven.
One of a kind. Realy The Man.
Most ICONIC Trans Am Ever.....
Bought a ' 79 Bandit T/A brand new off the dealer's lot from Moody Pontiac in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. It was gorgeous but rarely removed the t-tops because it was so hot. The car cost $9,250.00.
You see, dreams can be bought! Rip Burt! And thank you! Frog ❤ Bandit....East bound and down, and they call him, The Bandit, always will!
This for all of bandits friends
Beautiful car back then those cars was popular in movie or someone had one . In the 70s cars was beautiful 77 t bird was nice 77 mercury cougar Ford Ltd
Lincoln and Cadillac Oldsmobile
Pontaic those years was great movie music I'll miss those years
To bad it gone like all the great actor are gone too
The most iconic movie car of all time. In the South, Smokey and the Bandit is a documentary.
If I could have one I would. There are so many cars in the heavens.........
The car,the jacket & the hat what a steal!!!!!!
That man to me was like my generation's answer to the Lone Ranger and Silver
Too funny! My Dad is 68 years old. He's doing pretty well after a scare that he'd given us here recently and just spent a week in the hospital. Due to heart failure. He's been okay here in there. But, he raised me of 85 and my two older brothers of 80 and 81 and my sister of 1991 by him self. He always says his first brand new TransAm was before the movie ever showed and his first Brand new car was a Dodge Duster and a few years later he told my Uncles wife when they'd went out to eat one day and he'd seen an earlier 70's model TransAm that was white with the blue birds that he was going to have one of those one day and he actually ordered it in 1977. It was black and gold with the newer facial. His didn't have the leather interior though. He had the red cloth interior and in 1979 he drove the silver 10th anniversary off the showroom floor that he'd purchased for my mother. And in 1993 he drove an all black one off the showroom floor. The 79 was all I could remember though. It was bad ask! The 93 was absolutely beautiful! He sold it in 2000 with less than 45,000 miles on it for $14. Back in 2017 we got him a 1980 that's totally redone. It's just not the same. But, to go back and look at the silver 10th anniversary TransAm case folder or the manifold with all the options and the old papers that are all dingy and shows the price with all the options is just crazy. It's a pretty plastic cover that holds open and actually has all the stuff, options and a picture of the 79. Funny how times changed. He never liked the 82-92. But, I loved them all!
Burt and a ‘77 is like JohnWayne and a western, Eastwood and a .44, Connery and a martini.
It. Just. Belongs. Together.
🏁⚡️ What a rush..
Thank you!🌬💋
Burt still chewing his GuM...That's my old DawG
Sure like to have mine back, it was Tan in Color! I had to pick from a Z-28 and Trans
Forma the exactamente momento I learned through the news on CNN about the passing away of Burt Reynolds, AKA Bo "Bandit" Darville, I promised to myself remembering him each time i see a golden and black Pontiac Trans- Am on the Riad again.
He’s having fun selling off his life’s trophies 🏆 and getting top dollar by accompanying the sales - probably adds 33% more profit. Smart guy...
Hal Lindsey actually did most all the stunts and wrote smokey and the bandit.he lived with burt at the time.
In 1982 I paid 4k for my 1978 TA . Used , In excellent condition . 400 auto t/tops Gold imron paint .
I love to hear the phrase.. "it's a real Z code car" bona fide
I was born in 1960 I was 18 years old I bought a 1978 special edition Bandit Trans Am mine had tan interior I love that car or should I still have it set timer I had so much fun in it picked up a half a lot of good-looking women good looking women
