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.

Full payment will be due within 3 days of auction end. Shipping will be the buyers responsibility but I will assist as I am able. Payment will be in cash, wire transfer or certified funds issued directly to me by your bank. I will not take any kind of check from the buyer. DO NOT BID if you do not intend to buy the car. DO NOT BID if you have zero or negative feedback without contacting me first. Please feel free to ask any questions. In person inspection is encouraged by serious buyers only. I reserve the right to end the auction early due to local sale.

Detroit City Council vetoes Autorama stunt, objects to Confederate flag

Wed, Feb 20 2019

Detroit'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."

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Pontiac Fiero 2M4

Sun, Oct 8 2023

The mid-engined, plastic-bodied Pontiac Fiero two-seater caused great excitement when it hit the streets as a 1984 model, then became something of an embarrassment for GM when its design flaws became clear to the car-buying public. Still, when a V6 engine became available for 1985, followed by a fastback roof for 1986, the air of Pontiac Excitement around the Fiero lingered to a certain extent. We took a look at a discarded '86 Fiero GT with both the 2.8-liter V6 and the fastback body last year, and now we'll take a look at an example of the econo-commuter four-cylinder notchback version from the same year. Pontiac used the 2M4 designation (standing for two seats, mid-engine, four cylinders) on four-cylinder Fieros, while the six-cylinder cars were known as 2M6s. 2M4 decals went on four-banger Fieros for the 1984-1986 model years, while 2M6 decals seem to have been applied less consistently to the V6 cars of that period. During the early development period of the car that became the Fiero, the idea was that it would be a nimble sports car with a lightweight engine. Then the plan shifted, with the Fiero intended to be a gas-sipping commuter. When the car finally hit showrooms, it was a lot heavier than intended, it had a Chevy Citation front suspension in the back plus a Chevette front suspension, and its engine was the low-revving, weighty Iron Duke 2.5-liter straight-four. The Duke was about the least sports-car-appropriate four-cylinder engine The General could dredge up from his parts bins, but it was cheap and there was no shortage of production capacity. By the time the Fiero came out, the Iron Duke had been renamed the Tech 4. This one was rated at 92 horsepower and 132 pound-feet. The V6 Fieros get all the press today, but plenty of the Duked versions were sold (amazingly, the Chevrolet Camaro was available with Iron Duke power from 1982 through 1986). The emissions sticker tells us that this was a California-market car, rather than the "49-state" model the rest of the country got. California-specific emissions hardware added $99 to this car's price ($277 in 2023 dollars). While this car is a base model, the original buyer loaded it with options. The transmission is a three-speed automatic, priced at $465 (about $1,303 in 2023 dollars). A five-speed manual was standard equipment on the 1986 Fiero, though the old-fashioned four-speed manual was still available for a $50 credit ($140 now).
