Vehicle Description
This unrestored Pontiac Can Am is one of 1,377 cars built. This
one-year-only model is powered by a W-72 high-performance 400ci V8
engine and automatic transmission. The cars were sent to Motortown
for their build by the Famous Jim Wangers back in 1977. Pontiac was
planning on building 2,500 cars for the 77 model year, and the
orders from new buyers exceeded 5,000 units. However, before they
could fulfill all of the orders, the custom mold for the unique
three-piece spoiler mysteriously broke and production was halted.
Pontiac decided not to continue forward with the car because of a
sales drop in the Grand Prix model and did not want to lose
perspective buyers.
