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. |

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
