Five years before Bo Darville, aka The Bandit, ran blocker for Snowman in his famous black ’77 Trans Am, Burt Reynolds was tearing up Arkansas back roads in a brown 1971 Ford Custom 500 in the silver screen classi

The late, great Burt Reynolds was indeed Tinseltown’s King of Cars.

He starred in no less than seven films in the period between 1973 and 1984 that celebrated the internal combustion engine.

One subgenre that rather inexplicably gained massive popularity in the 1970s was the bootlegger movie.

These were films in which the plot revolved around the need to transport illegal alcohol.

These days, there are a host of actors for whom hot cars are an intrinsic element to the films they make.

Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson are two of them, and they stared in Pain & Gain.

Hooper remains one of the best examples of the marriage between Burt Reynolds and top-notch automotive action. What’s more, it sees him reunited with his steed from Smokey and the Bandit, the Pontiac Trans Am.

It wasn't that long ago that rubber bumper F-bodies from the Seventies were the laughingstock of the collector car market. Well, not anymore as this 1977 Trans Am SE just sold at auction for $440,000.

Gabriel Iglesias is known for his car collection with a focus on the German Volkswagen, but this Bandit Trans Am Tribute car is also one of his prized possessions.
