My boss owns one of the 1977 Trans Ams used in the Smokey and the Bandit movies. She bought it from an auction Burt Reynolds had quite a few years ago. Still has the certificate of authenticity. It has been sitting in storage for a few years, and she brought it out to be touched up, after sitting so long. She knows I'm a car nut and threw me the keys! I took it for a spin, and I loved it! I've always loved those cars. The feel of that huge 6.6 liter engine, and the noises that came from the exhaust and tires, when the pedal was mashed to the floor was quite a rush! I know my Stang would beat it, it's so much heavier than my car, but it still has such nice torque and serious balls! I want it... She's selling it, any donations send to me!! I'll take you all for a ride! Here are some pics of it:
