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. |

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible
Wed, Aug 1 2018The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh
Tue, Jan 31 2017The latest machine to show up on Jay Leno's Garage is arguably the most iconic Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Judge. The example here is a radically red model and features all of the nifty Judge features, such as the mega-size rear wing, hood-mounted tachometer, and ram air hood scoop. The latter of which had a panel in the hood that would open up at full throttle to let in all that cool air from outside. The car is owned by the Wade Kawasaki, president of Coker Tires, a company that specializes in reproducing classic tires. Not surprisingly, his GTO features a set of the company's Firestone Wide Oval tires. That particular tire would have come with the car originally, but these new versions are built like modern radial tires, rather than the slippery bias-ply originals. The tires are indicative of how Kawasaki restored the rest of his Judge. Everything has been taken back to factory-spec. It has a stock, 400-cubic inch V8 that makes a supposedly underrated 366 horsepower, and it's complete with the chrome valve covers and foam intake seal. The tires are accompanied by exact replica GTO Judge wheels. The car even has the true, original interior. Somehow, the upholstery, dash, and other interior components survived in excellent condition. Check out the video above for more details on this flashy muscle car, as well as some reminiscing about the "good ol' days," and some history on the origins of the car's name. Related Video:
Detroit City Council vetoes Autorama stunt, objects to Confederate flag
Wed, Feb 20 2019Detroit's Autorama hot rod show will stage its 67th annual event next month, and wants to kick off with Burt Reynolds tribute. The plan is to re-create the Mulberry Bridge jump from " Smokey and the Bandit" using a movie-correct 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. But the Detroit City Council voted 7-1 to prohibit the jump. Why? Because the Trans Am's front license plate holder displays the former Georgia state flag, a portion of which is the Confederate national flag, and the city council doesn't like that. In the movie, Bo "Bandit" Darville was a Georgia driving legend, and the flag on the car was Georgia's flag at the time. Councilman Scott Benson laid out the council's position when he said that the car "still proudly flies a Confederate flag, which is a symbol of oppression, slavery, as well as home-bred American terrorism. So this body said we are not going to support that type of symbolism nor the audacity to support that type of activity in the city of Detroit." It seems part of the council's ire comes from the same event two years ago. A stunt group called the Northeast Ohio Dukes re-created a "Dukes of Hazzard" jump in 2017 using a series-correct 1969 Dodge Charger, complete with a Confederate flag on the roof. Benson said the stunt group "expressly said they would not display that [Confederate flag] symbol during the jump." Not only was it displayed, but when driver Raymond Kohn gave interviews after the jump, his driving suit featured the Stainless Banner on the collar. Seems the council has been grinding its axe in silence for two years. Now Benson accuses Autorama of "a history of supporting images and symbols of racism, oppression, and white supremacy." Autorama is certain to take place March 1-3 at Cobo Center. This year's show will have around 800 cars on display, along with a special exhibit of 17 low riders and a Batmobile built by Flint native Carl Casper. Even if the Bandit car doesn't make the jump, the Trans Am and other memorabilia from the film will be there. A spokeswoman for Autorama said, "We are continuing to work to try to resolve this with the city."
