Burt Reynolds personal “Black Bandit” up for auction

Author Jim O'Brien

This weekend (Sept. 27-29) at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas a very, very special car will go up for auction. This is the Pontiac Trans-Am that Burt Reynolds had built just for him…it’s a one of kind ride. Here’s part of the description from Barrett-Jackson:

Lot #709 – From the Burt Reynolds Collection and Bandit Movie Cars Florida, LLC. The “Black Bandit” was created under Mr. Reynolds’ direction. He wanted a car that was as movie-correct as possible and could be driven with some new comforts, yet still retain its originality. It features new air-conditioning components and a custom-built 200-4R automatic transmission made specifically for Mr. Reynolds’ project. Powering this Trans Am is a freshly rebuilt Pontiac 400ci engine with all-new Butler Performance parts.
