Burt Reynolds horse painting, opening bid $2,000-3,000
Burt Reynolds denies he’s having financial problems, he’s just clearing up some of the clutter. But he is definitely auctioning off some amazing items, and some of that clutter is pretty sweet, though, including the Emmy he won for his work in Evening Shade and the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit (actually used as a “promotional vehicle,” hmmm). Maybe he’s just found Buddha or something and has decided he doesn’t need his Emmy anymore. Tons of awesome stuff here, including lots of football helmets and belt buckles and cowboy boots and stuff like that. The man likes his rustic western motif, and he likes to put his name and initials on stuff and to look at his own face, judging from the items in the auction, which happens next Thursday at Julien’s Auctions. We decided to focus on some of the items that pretty much could only have come from Burt himself. No trace of the great literary masterpiece Burt Reynolds Hot Line—if only!!
