I saw that car on the bandit run in Tupelo, MS. The guy took the local news lady out in the car and did some wicked donuts in the Auto Museum parking lot. It is a very nice car. Extremely well done. I really like the custom snowflake 17's, hid headlights and the led brake lights. He told us that there would be an option to get a LS-7 in it soon.

The subtle body mods are nice too. Sadly though, it's a rich man's toy.

I think Year One changed their game plan and will only be building the High-End version.

I watched all 4 episodes, and although really really cool (I wouldn't mind owning one), the BRE TA's are pretty much rolling advertisements for Year One... I bet they will get most of their sales/money on selling the individual parts they now produce (the front end, +sized snowflakes, Bandit plates, etc) , rather than the cars themselves.

It looks as if they've narrowed it down to two versions....

What a deal! I'll take 3

It would take 3 lifetimes for me to be able to afford one of them.

Maybe there's a huge rebate for those of us that suffered through Stroker Ace?

Have you guys seen the youtube clip where Burt is signing the dashboard of one of the cars and accidentally smudges the signature with the side of his hand?

SHYYYYEEEET, I don't care if it is Burt Reynolds or not. For the money I would have paid for the car, he better fix it or he gets an *** woopin..
Old man or not..LOL

Yeah, that's one of the clips from the first post. They should of had him sign the visor or something else that could have been easily taken off the car. Contorting your hand like he had to just to sign the dash couldn't have been very easy. He's not a young feller anymore, so I'm sure the joints don't bend like they used to
