1977 Pontiac Can Am Plus 2 Can Am Parts Cars on 2040-cars
|
This auction is for a 1977 Pontiac Can Am and two Can Am parts cars plus many extra parts. I purchased the car from the man in California that bought it new. It is complete and in good shape but it needs to be restored. I have done nothing with the car but move it into the shop and start to clean it up. It has one small rust spot on the right rear quarter just below the louver window about the size of a half dollar (just bubbled up). There is some rust on the right front corner of the hood, not bad, certainly repairable but one of the parts cars has an excellent hood. There's a little rust staining around the back window that needs to be cleaned up. The interior needs to be redone. Its all original and it needs repair. The padded dash is cracked, as all of them are. The following is what the original owner had done to it recently: " Less than 5k on Dave Smith Olds Performance rebuild Dyno'd at 300+ hp. Edlebrock performer manifold, cam, upgraded rocker arms, ported heads, headers with true dual exhaust (2 cats and double hump trans crossmember. Turbo 350 trans with less than 10k on it. Rebuilt rochester carb from Summit racing ready to install." So mechanically she's in pretty good shape. This is a 403 Olds engine car, one of 43 reportedly made that year. The tires hold air and have lots of tread but are dry rotted. The battery was old and finally dead this year. The parts cars: They are both Can Ams. One is another 403 Olds engine car and the other a 400. They are relatively complete and roll around. One has been wrecked at some point and has an earlier model Lemans front clip on it. Both have lots of parts stored inside. The 403 parts car has some exterior rust but the floor boards are in great shape. The other car has some exterior rust as can be seen in the pictures. The 400 car drove up on my trailer when I picked it up in Iowa at -10 below zero. The 403 car I winched up on the trailer. Extra parts: There are two stripe kits, 1 GM NOS and 1 Stencil & Stripes after market. There are two instrument clusters with tachometers. There's a spare clock with surrounding bezel. There is a piece of a roll of Firethorn red upholstery and a larger roll of white to redo a white set of seats. One of the parts cars had a white interior. There is a front header panel off of a Grand Lemans. There are one or two sets of extra wheels. Trim pieces. Heater/ac controls. Mechanical pieces. Power window motors. And a bunch of other stuff... Yes, there's a lower quarter panel new in a box too.
All three cars have titles and other documentation. I'm sure I'm forgetting somethings but that's it in a nutshell. I've come to the realization that I'll never have the time to restore one or two of these cars and so I am going to sell them. Yes, I'm probably going to lose my butt on this deal but that's the way it goes. So here's the opportunity to buy one that you can be driving around pretty quick with two parts cars to build another or mine of parts down the road. Now for the business end of the deal: These cars are old and used and as such will sell "as is". Ask questions, we answer. We may not know the answer but we'll tell you so! Check our feedback, we tell it like it is. Look at the pictures and ask for more if you need them. The buyer will be responsible for picking them up or arranging shipping. I will be glad to assist the buyer or shipper in getting them safely loaded for transport. At the close of the auction we will require a $500 deposit through Paypal within 24 hours. The balance due can be paid in cash or by bank transfer within 72 hours. We would like the cars to be moved within 30 days but will work with the buyer should some extra time be needed. Please bid only if you can afford to pay. Let's keep this auction fun and easy for all concerned. The cars are for sale locally and we do reserve the right to end the auction should a local buyer purchase them. Thanks for looking and good luck with your bidding. |

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Pontiac 6000 LE Safari Wagon
Wed, May 27 2020The Detroit station wagon was fast losing sales to minivans and trucks as the decade of the 1980s progressed, but Pontiac shoppers still had plenty of choices as late as the 1988 model year. A visit to a Pontiac dealership in 1988 would have presented you with three sizes of wagon, from the little Sunbird through the midsize 6000 and up to the mighty Parisienne-based Safari. Today's Junkyard Gem is a luxed-up 6000 LE, complete with "wood" paneling, found in a car graveyard in Fargo, North Dakota. Confusingly, the "Safari" name in 1988 was used by Pontiac to designate both a specific model — the wagon version of the Parisienne/Bonneville— and as the traditional Pontiac designation for a station wagon. That meant that the wagon we're looking at now was a Safari but not the Safari in the 1988 Pontiac universe. The 6000 lived on the GM A-Body platform, as the Pontiac-badged version of the Chevrolet Celebrity. Production ran from the 1982 through 1991 model years, with the A-Body Buick Century surviving all the way through 1996. The LE trim level came between the base 6000 and the gloriously complex 6000 STE (which wasn't available in wagon form, sadly). I visited this yard in Fargo after judging at the Minneapolis 500 24 Hours of Lemons in Brainerd, Minnesota, last fall. Up to that point, I had visited 47 of the Lower 48 United States, with just North Dakota remaining, so I made a point of doing a Fargo detour in order to check that state off my list. I'm pleased that I found such a good example of the 1982-1996 GM A-Body in this yard, because the most famous of all the A-Bodies is the 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera driven to Brainerd by the inept Fargo-based kidnappers in the film "Fargo." This Minnesota-plated 6000 had some rust, but just negligible levels by Upper Midwestern standards on a 31-year-old car. The interior looked very good, with the original owner's manual still inside. The 6000 LE boasted "redesigned contoured seats and London/Empress fabric," which sounds pretty swanky. Something less swanky lives under the hood: an Iron Duke 2.5-liter pushrod four-cylinder engine, known as the Tech 4 by 1988. The Iron Duke was, at heart, one cylinder bank of the not-quite-renowned Pontiac 301-cubic-inch V8; while fairly rugged, the Duke ran rough (typical of large-displacement straight-four engines) and made just 98 horsepower in this application. Pontiac offered a couple of optional V6s in the 6000 in 1988, but no Quad 4.
Junkyard Gem: 1991 Pontiac Grand Am LE with Quad 4 Engine
Wed, May 9 2018GM introduced the N-Body compact platform with the Oldsmobile Calais and Pontiac Grand Am for the 1985 model year and continued building N-based cars through 1998. Most of these cars weren't interesting from an enthusiast standpoint, but a handful rolled off the assembly line with raucous DOHC Oldsmobile Quad 4 engines and manual transmissions, and those cars were plenty of fun. Here's a 1991 Grand Am with that rare setup, photographed in a self-service yard in California's Central Valley. The base engine in the 1991 Grand Am was the 110-horsepower, 2.5-liter pushrod Iron Duke, an engine that might have been fine on a Romanian tractor in 1953 but had no place on an American street car as the 21st century approached. Fortunately, GM started bolting the modern 2.3-liter DOHC Quad 4 engine into 1988 cars, and this was a proper four-cylinder. The Quad 4 ran a little rough and uncivilized, and it had its share of reliability problems, but you could rev the piss out of it and it made good power. In 1991, this engine was rated at 180 hp. That made this 2,592-pound sedan pretty quick. Unfortunately, the slushboxization of America had progressed with depressing rapidity during the 1980s, and by 1991 most Grand Am buyers — even the ones who opted for the Quad 4 — chose the automatic transmission. That didn't happen with this car, though — it boasts a rugged Getrag 5-speed instead of the happiness-amputating three-speed automatic. Yes, that's the kind of odometer reading you'd expect to see on an Accord or Maxima from this era. Someone loved this car and took care of it. Here we see an interesting mix of 1980s and 1990s car-radio technology. CD players in cars were still costly luxury items in 1991, seldom seen in affordable cars like the Grand Am, while 1980s-style slider-style EQ controls were on the way out. This Delco unit straddles both decades nicely. I seek out Quad 4-equipped cars during my junkyard travels, and I have photographed quite a few: this '89 Cutlass Calais, this '90 Cutlass Calais, this '90 Grand Am, this '91 Quad 442, this '93 Achieva SCX, and this '98 Cavalier Z24. It's a shame that Buick never put the Quad 4 in the Reatta, which was a fine car ruined by a somnolent and obsolete V6. The music in this ad is even more early-1990s than Crystal Pepsi.

Burt Reynolds Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am sells for $450k
Mon, Dec 15 2014Apparently, there's still a lot of love out there for by Burt Reynolds and his famous role in Smokey and the Bandit – or at least for his car. As you might remember, Autoblog reported on the auction of the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am a few week ago. At the time, the movie star's car was already well past its $80,000 top estimate, and bidding only shot up from there for a final price of $450,000. That seems like a lot of money for a Trans Am that never actually appears in Smokey and the Bandit. According to the listing, the car was used to promote the film and was given to Reynolds afterward with his name on the title as proof of ownership. The Trans Am looks practically identical to the one in the movie with black paint, the gold firebird on the hood and Bandit name on the driver's door. This one packs a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor under the hood, an automatic transmission and a plaque inside the door that proclaims "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Owned By Burt Reynolds." The wedding stagecoach based on an International Harvester Scout we mentioned in the earlier story also beat its top estimate of $20,000. It went for $34,375, according to the auction house's website, and in total the sale raised about $2.5 million. Scroll down to read the full announcement from Julien's Auctions.
