The Grand Prize: This 1977 Trans Am Special Edition (S/E) was chosen by Hollywood legend Burt Reynolds to celebrate the 40^th Anniversary of the classic car-guy film, Smokey and the Bandit. Just like the actual Trans Ams used in Smokey and the Bandit, this Trans Am features a Straight Black exterior with a S/E specific gold-trim package and hood bird, and a 6.6-liter Pontiac V-8 engine. Making this grand-prize even more rare is the fact that it has been autographed by Mr. Reynolds on its Shaker hood scoop and glovebox door. One lucky grand-prize winner will also receive Mr. Reynolds' famous autograph on a new Bandit-style Stetson hat personally worn by him and on the Trans Am's laminated, original factory window sticker.
