This is an opportunity to own an extremely rare, 1 year only car
(only 1,377 ever produced)! There was a lot of buzz by Pontiac
engineers about this car, but it dipped into Gran Prix sales. So
when the mold broke for the rear spoiler management took the
opportunity to scrap the Can Am completely! The Can-Am package
includes the shaker hood, custom graphics, rear spoiler, radial
tuned suspension, sport mirrors, blacked out grill, body color
window louvers and more. We acquired this Can-Am from a high-end
collector that we've done business within the past. It is said to
have less than 22,000 original miles on the odometer, and it shows.
It is numbers matching and Pontiac Historical Service documented.
It was carefully restored to factory like condition and is now
ready for a new owner to enjoy.
EXTERIOR: The body is in mint condition; no rust or damage and it
is straight as an arrow. It has been repainted once and
reproduction graphics were applied. It was a high-quality job right
into the jambs. It has been polished to a smooth and glossy finish
that looks fantastic. The factory rally ll wheels are painted body
color on the Can-Am package and these have been wrapped in Cooper
Cobra radial GT 275/60R15 tires. The Trans Am Shaker hood (which
has been cut open), sport mirrors, spoiler, body colored window
louvers, graphics, and blacked out grill are some other options
included with the Can-Am package. It appears the windshield has
been replaced and is totally clear. The remaining glass looks
original with only minor scratches. The bumpers have been rechromed
and the rubber guards look fresh. The grill and remaining trim
pieces look to be original and in great condition. What a sharp
looking car from the 1970s!
INTERIOR: The red interior adds even more pop! Sitting inside this
car you just feel cool. It is extremely nice and clean and has a
fresh look all the way around. The front bucket seats appear to
have been recovered and look like new. The rear seat seems to be
original and looks like it's never been sat in. It has factory
original seat belts all the way around. The carpeting, door panels,
headliner and visors are in excellent shape. The dome light and
accessory lights are in working condition. The center console and
shifter are in excellent original condition. The dashpad,
instrument panel, knobs, controls are excellent original as well.
It includes the rally gauges and clock. The cushion grip sport
steering is an option. This interior has all the telltale signs of
a low mileage vehicle and looks absolutely incredible!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: We have an absolutely beautiful stock looking
engine bay here! This one is detailed to factory new. The Can Am
used the W-72 performance 400 engine, this one is #s matching to
this car. The T/A shaker itself is affixed to the top of the "Ram
Air" air cleaner with factory GM stickers, correct ductwork is in
place and looks fantastic. It has correct chrome valve covers. It
appears the block has been freshened up with its correct Pontiac
blue color paint. The underside of the hood, fender wells and
firewall are all smoothly painted the correct factory satin black.
Insulation was added to the bottom of the shaker hood. It features
power steering, power brakes and air conditioning. The brake master
cylinder looks fresh, the AC system was upgraded with R134 freon.
The remainder of the hoses and wires appear to be routed just like
the factory would have done it. The squirters are hooked up,
battery is secured, overflow bottle is hooked up. Even those blue
fender bolts are correct. What a good looking and correct engine
compartment!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: This is a clean and complete trunk. The
underside of the lid and jamb is painted just about as smooth and
shiny as the exterior. The weatherstrip and sticker has been
replaced. Inside is spotless metal with factory style spatter coat
finish and a reproduction mat. It also has a jack and matching
white rally ll wheel for a spare.
UNDERSIDE: The undercarriage appears to be stock and exceptionally
clean. It has been freshened up during restoration. These come with
the RTS suspension which includes sway bars among other things. The
suspension and steering appear to be mostly rebuilt; bushings,
shocks, ball joints etc. The front has disc brakes on the calipers
look to have been replaced, brake lines look fresh, e-brake is
hooked up. The entire dual exhaust system has been replaced. It has
dual catalytic converters and Xlerator mufflers. Looking up at the
6.6 liter motor it is spotless including the starter. The VIN
number matching Turbo 400 transmission also looks clean with no
visible leaks. The power is then transferred to a posi rear end
that has been neatly painted black. The floors look to be rust-free
and have been freshened up with some black paint.
SERVICE: Our professional team of mechanics has completed a
thorough inspection of this vehicle and repaired or replaced the
following items: replaced the steering center link, replaced the
power steering gearbox, and lubricated the speedometer cable.
This is an extremely rare low mileage, 1 year only car! What a
blast from the past! This car is encapsules the true meaning of the
word nostalgia!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
