I am selling my 1977 Pontiac Can Am. This car is a documented 57,000 mile survivor with original paint and interior. I am the third owner. The car is in excellent condition for its age and comes with tons of documentation including PHS invoice, broadcast sheet, Troy ship document, original sales paperwork, receipts, letters from Pontiac, owners manuals, etc, etc. Factory options on this Can Am include: Rally RTS Handling Package, Custom Air Conditioning, Custom Seat Belts, Front and Rear Bumper Guards, Front Seat Console, Soft Ray Glass, Inside Hood Release, Lamp Group, Front and Rear Floor Mats, AM/FM Stereo with 8 Track Tape Player, Stow Away Spare Tire, Luxury Cushion Steering Wheel, Tilt Steering Wheel, Can Am Option and Maintenance Free Battery. This car was featured in the February 2008 edition of Popular Hot Rodding Magazine. It was photographed by the late Paul Zazarine, a well known automotive journalist. The first photo is from that article and was taken in 2001. The rest of the photos were taken this week. The car was sold new in North Carolina and was bought by the second owner in 2001 and brought to Texas. I purchased the car in 2007. Jim Wangers, creator of the Can AM package, signed the inside of the trunk lid for the previous owner in 2001 as seen in the photos. The previous owner installed a 462 cubic inch Pontiac roller motor, dual exhaust and a 3:42 Eaton Posi rear end to improve performance. The car is very fast yet very streetable. It runs great on regular unleaded pump gas. The original engine and everything else to put the car back to bone stock is included. The original engine is in excellent condition with less than 50,000 miles on it.I had the original heads re-done and bought a new cam for the original engine with the intention to return the car back to stock, but never did. The previous owner also added the optional in dash tach and optional sport steering wheel. Again, I have all of the original parts to return to bone stock if desired. The previous owner also painted the wheels black (they should be body color). Everything works as it should on the car except the A/C. The A/C blew cold and worked great until the compressor clutch failed. The body and interior are very nice for a 36 year old car. There are no dents and there has never been any body damage. There are two small spots on the under side of the hood with very minor rust. There is no other rust anywhere on the car. There are some minor scratches and paint chips on the car and an area where the paint has some cracking at the factory seam on the drivers side B pillar. There is one small imperfection on the dash. All normal wear on a survivor car. I am describing every minor flaw that I am aware of in the interest of full disclosure. Again, this a great example of a very rare survivor Can Am.
The Pontiac Can Am was a mid size performance car based on the Pontiac LeMans Sport Coupe. It was a special edition option package, and was only available in 1977. There were less than 1400 built. The Can Am package included Can Am decals, tri color stripes, a lower body black stripe, shaker hood scoop, rear spoiler, Radial Tuned Suspension, Grand Prix style dash and instrument cluster with rally gauges and other standard features.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Junkyard Gem: 1968 Pontiac Catalina sedan
Wed, Aug 14 2019During the late 1960s, General Motors ruled the American car landscape, growing so dominant that the federal government considered antitrust action to break up the company. The General offered sporty Corvettes and muscular GTOs and rugged pickups and opulent Fleetwoods, sure, but the fat part of the sales numbers came from the bread-and-butter full-sized sedans and coupes, which boasted superior engineering and modern-looking styling; in 1967 alone, the Chevrolet Division moved 972,600 full-sized cars, and that's not even counting the 155,100 full-sized Chevy station wagons that year. Pontiac, Buick and Oldsmobile sold the same big cars with division-specific engines and bodywork, and they flew off the showroom floors. For 1968, the entry-level full-sized car from Pontiac was the Catalina, and I've found an example of the most affordable version of the most affordable big Pontiac for 1968, discarded in a northeastern Colorado wrecking yard about 50 miles south of Cheyenne, Wyoming. A '68 GM full-sized coupe, convertible, or even a four-door hardtop might be worth the cost and effort of a restoration, but a no-options base-trim-level post sedan with rust and plenty of body filler just won't get many takers these days. Like so many vehicles that sit outside for decades on the High Plains, this one is full of rodent nests. I wouldn't want to work on the interior of this car without a respirator and a lot of work with a shop-vac, because hantavirus is a significant danger in these parts. Alfred Sloan's plan to offer a stepladder of prestige for GM buyers, in which your first new car was a Chevrolet and you moved up through Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Buick until you became sufficiently prosperous for Cadillac ownership, worked brilliantly for decades. In 1968, the Catalina was a notch above its Impala sibling on the Snob-O-Meter, with the sedan starting at $3,004 (about $22,600 in 2019 dollars). In fact, the V8-equipped 1968 Chevrolet Impala sedan listed at $3,033, and the Oldsmobile Delmont 88 went for $3,146, so the lines were beginning to blur between the relative positions of the lower-end GM divisions by this time. The base engine in the 1968 Catalina was a 400-cubic-inch (6.5 liter) V8 rated at 265 horsepower and enough torque to tow an aircraft carrier.
