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.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
