Years ago, PowerBlock caught up with Burt Reynolds when the Detroit Muscle team took on a Trans Am. We asked Burt what the Bandit meant for him and this is what he had to say.
“It’s just a flood of memories,” Reynolds recalled after seeing the Bandit several years later. He talked about how he and Jerry Reeves both had seen the original Bandit for the first time and instantly felt a rush. He said he’s had several people pull up next to him in their Trans Ams and say “It’s your fault!” to which he replies “I’m sorry partner, bet you had a good time!”.

Burt was a gem. True blue.
One of the most overrated actors ever.
The screaming chicken 🐔
Burt had a great sense of humor. Great guy. Thanks for everything Burt!
I wonder how old this interview is, it has to be in the two thousand single digits because Burt started looking very frail by the two thousand teens and walked with a cane.
When Bruce Springsteen sings about you and your car, you have truly made it
That was my childhood!
I miss my Trans Am.
RIP 🪦 Burt thanks for the Memories ❤️❤️❤️
