Guys would send him their glove box door,or something from a TA,and have him sign it.Then mail it back to the person.Automatically the price of the car raises the price a little bit,with Burts signature.  

Okay, the value of signed TAs might go up because he won't be signing any more of them. But all Trans Ams, or all black ones? Shouldn't have any impact on the value at all.

The wife was kind of bummed out. She still has the issue of Play Girl with him in it!

I can remember him as "The Comanche" halfbreed blacksmith  Quint on Gunsmoke!

I know that Snake.I didn't mean it would raise the value of the car a lot.Its just like Carol Shelby signing a Mustang,or a Cobra.It adds a sentimental value to the car..As far the TAs,it's the 76-79,which were Bandit look alikes.However,there was never a Bandit edition in any year of the famed Trans Am.But you got to admit,their prices are rising,similar to the late 70s,early 80s,Z28s.

You didn't say it, someone else did.

Yes, that is a big loss. i really enjoyed his movies. Last year I went to a car show with my sons in law and my grandson. He was tickled pink to come across the same car that was on his T-shirt.
