CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Let's face it, the real star of "Smokey and the Bandit" isn't Burt Reynolds. It's the car.

Now, even though Pontiac stopped making the Firebird in 2002 and went belly up in 2010, you can own a modern version of that iconic black and gold Trans Am.

With the help of Reynolds, custom shop Trans Am Depot recently introduced its SE Bandit Edition at the New York International Auto Show. The car, a converted new Chevrolet Camaro, features all the classic details of the Bandit car: the t-tops, Firebird hood decal, leather racing bucket seats, snowflake wheels and white-letter tires.

"That was the car to have, everybody wanted to be the Bandit," Scott Warmack, co-founder of Trans Am Depot, said in a promotional video.

The Florida-based company is producing just 77 special edition Bandit cars -- the movie came out in 1977 and that was the model year of the car used in the film. Reynolds, who starred in the original and a sequel, will sign each of them.

"Burt Reynolds is fundamentally responsible for the success of the Trans Am brand," Warmack said.

The new version will be considerably more powerful than the original. While the 1977 vehicle topped out at 185-horsepower, the 2016 version will be powered by a whopping 840 horses. The car won't come cheap: prices start at $115,000, according to Fox News.

"It's an airplane on the ground," Reynolds said.
