Smokey and the Bandit 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
Director Howe Needham only needed one look at the '77 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am to know it was THE car for the movie. Most of the cars used to film ended up pretty destroyed, but one made it through post-production, although it wasn't exactly functioning on the inside. The car had to be pushed through the final scene after taking a beating on set.
