BANDIT #3 that is. Burt Reynolds is in Knoxville making a movie and they were filming some scenes at Neyland Stadium(UT football). my grandson was there for football camp. as I walked up to the stadium a bunch of people were pushing this beautiful black Trans Am into a trailer. I stopped in my tracks, my mouth dropped open and I asked "is that what I think it is?". a lady said it is one of them, #2 just left. a guy standing there supervising saw my Viet Nam Veteran cap and motioned me over and opened the side door so I could see the hood. I reached in and touched the fender and told him they would have to wipe it down again. he assred me they would. I was 27 when Smokey and the Bandit came out. i'm old now but still like the old muscle cars. lee

I had just gotten out of high school when that movie came out. It was playing every night at a drive in that a friend of mine worked at. I bet I saw it or at least was there when it played, 100 times. Still get a kick when I see the movie and a black TA still turns my head.

It's not that we don't believe you Lee-
But we need a picture!
