Thread: Burt Reynolds - living legend :)

Tweet

Got to respect a man that can make a 180 hp automatic car look so good. Maybe it's about time we started honoring his films while he's still alive. There's only one Bandit.





Bandit Bird

They should be making more movies like that today. Poor Smokey, he did a good job also.
That's the kind of movies I would watch instead of the stupid reality shows of today.

I thought Jerry Reed and the dog were the best part of the show!!!!

Im surprised at you guys, You know Burt also drove a ford also

that is one of my all time favorite movies.

im a big smokey fan,i have a 2nd gen formula and 2nd gen trans ams.
another great show back then was corvette summer. I tryed one of those vented hoods like the vett on corvette summer on my 77 vette. Didnt look right with out some 70s style fender flares so i took it off and sold it.

More of a Vanishing Point kinda guy myself.

I still like Sally the best!

I really thought Junior was the REAL star of that movie! 8-)

Ya I knew he drove them BIG BLOCK FORDS as Gator.
I got to meet him in Vegas one time at the Lady Luck.
I was a break in black jack dealer and he was at the
table next to mine. He asked the pit boss if he could deal.
So he got up and delt a while, people were lined up to watch.
He was having a good time and there is no mistaking his laugh.
Oh Dave my favorite part was and always is the lovely
Sally Fields, MUM good stuff.

Here is a T/A Like in the First Movie . I had a White one with a 1969 Built 400 . I took a Bit of Weight out of it . It was a good runner . http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/burt...andit-trans-am

My older brother had a 76 T/A and it was silver with a built 400.
The springs had been heated up to lower it, and man - o - man could that thing corner.
Thats back when they had the single head light on each side.
Loved that big bird on that shaker hood and the sound was something else.
They sure had thier own sound, we had glass pac's on his.

Here is the 1977 T/A I owned . I also owned two 78's and one 79 they were black .
