So what did Reynolds do? He built a series of replicas so he could still have fun as the Bandit!\u00a0 Reynolds, along with his friend and business partner, Gene Kennedy of Bandit Movie Cars, purchased a 1979 Trans Am restored it and added a 6.6-liter V-8 engine with a 350 automatic Turbo transmission \u2013 almost twice the hp of the original car \u2026vvvvmmmm!\u00a0 \u00a0Reynolds used this car in 2017 for the \u201cBandit Run\u201d which commemorated the 40<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of the original movie.\u00a0 Estimated to make $300-500K, it barely got up to speed as it hit a roadblock and sold just above the low end of the estimate at $317.5K (with premium).<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, another Trans Am (which was only connected to Reynolds because he drove it onto the stage at the auction) sold for a sweet price of $550K, but that car was used in the promotional tour for the <em>Smokey and the Bandit<\/em> movie in 1977.\u00a0 Another replica, created from a 1978 Trans Am and owned by Reynolds, sold last October, shortly after his death, for $192K.\u00a0\u00a0In case you are wondering, a typical 1979 (in excellent condition) is worth between $40-60K; so the Reynolds connection really accelerates the price!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/driving.ca\/pontiac\/auto-news\/news\/burt-reynolds-personal-pontiac-trans-am-sells-for-us317500\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Burt Reynolds&#8217;
