Burt Reynolds is selling the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am that was a promotional vehicle for his comedy Smokey and the Bandit. Reynolds received it as a gift for his car collection, according to Julien's Auctions, which is handling the sale. The movie, which also starred Sally Field and Jerry Reed, was about smuggling beer. Yes, beer.
The black-and-gold car has a 400-cubic-inch V-8 engine and automatic transmission. The opening bid is $30,000, but it is expected to go for $60,000 to $80,000.
The car is part of an extensive auction of Reynolds' belongings -- from a high-school football trophy to Star Wars memorabilia.
