avguytx Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Just read that Burt Reynolds died of cardiac arrest earlier today. Man, another one of my childhood "heroes" has moved on. I remember going to see Smokey & the Bandit at the theater and, like many almost 11 year old's then, thought that was the coolest car ever....the black and gold Trans Am. He may have had his share of troubles and issues through the years, but he definitely did a lot of great movies and shows. RIP, Bandit. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJkizak Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 That car was modified so much it wasn't street legal. And I believe there were a few extra when one broke. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 A brother ended up with a look alike at a car auction one time. It would do 140+ and that was a long winding curve we knew. RTS front end. Burt did a movie, late 70's maybe where think he was undercover, may have come in on a train to Miami. One scene showed an albino(?) bad guy falling from a tower after a fight shooting back at Burt while falling. Anyway a serious Burt movie with little comedy. The name of movie has escaped me over time. Good stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
