" Burt Reynolds, whose financial woes\u00A0have been in the news for years,\u00A0unloaded his vast\u00A0personal collection of art, sports, and movie memorabilia over the weekend. A number of Smokey and the Bandit items brought prices well beyond their pre-auction estimates.\u00A0 Here are the highlights.\u00A0 1977 Pontiac &amp;quot;Bandit&amp;quot; Trans Am - $450,000  Here&amp;#039;s the crazy part: this isn&amp;#039;t even an actual film-used car. This &amp;#039;77 TA 6.6 was used for the Smokey and the Bandit promotional tour, after which it was presented to Burt Reynolds as a gift. So, while it&amp;#039;s a Reynolds-owned Bandit car, it&amp;#039;s not one of the cars you watched, wide-eyed, as you shoveled popcorn into your mouth. The final price obliterates the pre-auction estimate of $60K\u2013$80K.\u00A0 Smokey and the Bandit II Film-Used Jacket - $34,375  You know the jacket. You wanted one at the time. Someone evidently still did, and badly. This\u00A0actual film-used jacket from Smokey and the Bandit II also went big. Initial estimates predicted a sale price of $4K\u2013$6K. So much for that. It brought over five times the high estimate. Someone has the makings of the greatest Halloween costume ever.\u00A0 Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am Go-Kart - $13,750  This might be the nuttiest hammer price of all the Bandit memorabilia, based on pre-auction estimates alone. This admittedly fantastic Burt-owned Bandit-TA go-kart was expected to fetch $600 to $800. It brought almost $14,000 when the bidding ended. Insane. But it speaks to just how much love people have for Burt Reynolds and this iconic character in particular.\u00A0 Here&amp;#039;s a bonus shot of the Trans Am and its kart doppelg\u00E4nger together at Burt&amp;#039;s house:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
