1977 Pontiac "Can--Am spotted today

[BigDad]

Odd ball car you don't see often, I was on hwy 71..right at the Iowa / Missouri border ..

It was sitting along the road, in a snow drift with "for sale" spray painted on the windshield, I didn't have a camera with so this pic posted is just off the interweb for an example

Not sure if anyone is looking or even cares but, it was strange site to see on a foggy day

Even it's a rusted bucket. Can Am's are rare and the parts are worth bank; hood, spoiler, quarter window louvers, etc. The whole car is worth money if it's got the Poncho 400 and the coveted 4 spd. I think there less 3000 made total.

Crap. I won't have time to run up there all week. I really have a thing for those. All the 76-77 Lemans are damn handsome cars, and really nice to drive with very little work.

None of those had 4 speeds, but the 73-75 Grand Am's could be ordered with them. I've only seen one-and it was a 4 door.

I thought it was cool that some of the Pontiac cop cars in Smokey and the Bandit had the Can Am scoop and hood on them--and were 4-doors!

A blue one sticks out in my mind, and there might have been a brown one. I think one ended up in the water in the movie?

It was several years ago I saw one, just like in the
pic, at a car show.

It was striking and a very cool
looking ride.

I'd own one.

Bruce Cliche, the guy in Vermont with the massive junkyard of muscle cars and cool old iron has a Can-Am sitting under a tree. We spent a while with it while filming my "lost episode" of Barnstormin' for CJTV.

He'll sell...for a price.


I love these cars and have seen one moving under it's own power in my life. It drove past me down Wilshire Blvd a few years ago when I was out at the HRM office.

A friend has one that was converted to a 4 speed but with all factory stuff.It looks like GM built it
and is really nice .I'll try to get a picture one of these days soon. I think it was in High Performance Pontiac
magazine as a feature once.

Made a fast trip to Clarinda Iowa and back .. Business related , wow..you have lots of snow :o

[70chevyC-10]

Re: 1977 Pontiac "Can--Am spotted today

Clarinda is about 80-90 miles from Omaha, next time hollar up ahead of time if you can.
A bunch of the snow has melted (it was in the 30's in the daytime for a week or so ) but tonight and tomorrow we're supposed to get freezing rain, be glad you're not here now.
