I’ll say that one more time: This is the only Firebird Burt Reynolds ever owned. Shortly after the film’s launch, the ‘77 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am was given to Reynolds as a thank you gift.Īlthough we can’t see Burt Reynolds without seeing the Bandit-1, this was the only Trans Am that Reynolds ever owned. It is so iconic that it’s hard to believe it was ever made in an American car factory.Īs we mentioned before, this cop-thwarting screaming chicken wasn’t a picture car, but it was used extensively as a promotional prop for the film’s release and marketing. I don’t know if there’s another car model that is so indelibly linked to a film (maybe the DeLorean), quite like the 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am SE in a black and gold finish.

This is one of the most iconic movie cars of all time, and now it can be yours. Although this Trans AM wasn’t one of the picture cars, it was gifted to the Lord of the Launch, Burt Reynolds, AKA The Bandit from Smokey and the Bandit. Behold! This is the 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am SE.
