SUNDAY the 18th Lot #836 at Aproximately 2:48PM.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Smokey and the Bandit, YearOne has teamed the star and the car together again with a modern performance makeover. The Burt Reynolds Edition Trans Am by YearOne injects supercar levels of power and grip into legendary style. The DIY Network’s Automotive show Celebrity Rides: Burt Builds a Bandit chronicled award-winning actor Burt Reynolds and the design team at YearOne Auto Restoration Company as they begin the exciting process of restoring a select fleet of limited edition Trans-Ams. DIY also created a contest for one lucky fan to have a chance to win one. Viewers were able to upload a video to explain to Burt Reynolds why they deserve to win the car. Videos were enthusiastically uploaded and viewed, surpassing a total of 55,000 in about eight weeks. In 2007, Spencer Brinkerhoff created a video Thanksgiving weekend that impressed Reynolds and won this car on offer.
