Stuffed under the hood is a numbers-matching 6.6-liter V8 engine that shifts via an automatic transmission that spins a 2.41 rear axle. Open the doors to an immaculate standard interior complete with black vinyl. Air conditioning keeps the cabin comfortable, and an AM/FM radio keeps the tunes playing all day long. As mentioned above, the icing on the cake is that this special edition Pontiac is autographed by the legendary late Burt Reynolds.

Unfortunately, the world mourned the loss of Reynolds back in September 2018 when he passed at the age of 82. His legacy continues on in the car community thanks to his role as Bandit and an infamous Firebird Trans Am.
