100 Trans Am salute for Burt

A Long Island car show is bidding farewell to Burt Reynolds with a “100-Trans Am salute.”

A parade of 100 Pontiac Firebird Trans Ams, the same car Reynolds zoomed across the screen in “Smokey and the Bandit,” will roll through the Motor Mania car show in tribute to the fallen Hollywood heartthrob.

The Sept. 29 event at Eisenhower Park in Westbury is expected to draw thousands of car lovers and dozens of drivers dressed up as Reynolds' Bo (Bandit) Darville character.

‘When I was in my teens and 20s, everyone wanted a Burt Reynolds Trans Am,” said Butch Yamali, the car show organizer. “He's an iconic figure, and it's an iconic car.”

Reynolds himself had been invited to the annual celebration of classic cars and hot rods.

The film icon died of a heart attack Thursday at age 82.
