Calling All Smokey and the Bandit Fans: Own a Piece of Movie History

Are you ready to take your Smokey and the Bandit fandom to the next level? Julien’s Auctions, a premier auction house specializing in memorabilia of the rich and famous, is offering a rare opportunity for die-hard fans to own a piece of the iconic 1977 film. Up for grabs is a pair of prop pieces used in the movie: a Pace CB-166 23-channel CB radio with a corded plug-in walkie-talkie and a Pace 10-4U police scanner. Yes, that’s the same radio and scanner used by the one and only Bandit, played by the late Burt Reynolds, to evade the law and ship Coors beer from Texas to Georgia.

While the authenticity of the props cannot be 100% confirmed, it’s undeniable that the radio and scanner are in the same era and style as those used in the film. What’s more, the top of the scanner bears a signature from Burt Reynolds himself, adding an extra layer of exclusivity to the auction.

The auction, titled “Gunsmoke & Western Legends,” is scheduled to take place on November 15, 2023, and the starting bid is a mere $250. As part of Lot #352, the props are being sold alongside other memorabilia related to Gunsmoke, the classic TV series.

What’s Your 20?

For the uninitiated, the CB radio played a pivotal role in Smokey and the Bandit, allowing Bandit to intercept radio chatter, evade Sheriff Smokey Justice, and taunt his pursuers with iconic phrases like “What’s your 20?” The radio and scanner combo is a dream come true for fans, allowing them to relive the adventure and feel like they’re part of the high-stakes, high-reward bootlegging operation.
