1977 Pontiac Lemans Can Am on 2040-cars

Year:1977 Mileage:132000
Location:

Conifer, Colorado, United States

Conifer, Colorado, United States

 This auction is for a a rare 1977 Pontiac Lemans Can Am. One of 1377 sold in 1977.  The cars history is known since new. The car was sold new in Nebraska and came with the Pontiac 400 (TA 6.6) and Turbo 400 automatic transmission. The options included air conditioning, AM/FM/8 Track and the Can Am package which included the white paint, graphics kit, G80 limited slip rear, the (low altitude) TA6.6 Pontiac 400 coupled to the Turbo 400 automatic, Radial Tuned Suspension, Rally II wheels, shaker hood and the infamous duck tail spoiler.

While the car was sold new in Nebraska it spent almost all of its life in and around Denver, CO.  Sometime in the late 80's the engine threw a rod through the water jacket and the car was refitted with a 1976 Grand Prix 455 V8 and the transmission from the 455 as well.  In 1990 a bent push rod caused the owner to park the car in a storage locker for the next twenty one years.  The car shows 132,000 miles on the odometer and I have been told by the original owner that that is correct.

The car is in need of a complete rebuild and needs paint, engine, interior including dash restoration, carpet and seats.  All parts are present.  The car is virtually rust free.  The frame, rockers, floor pans, fenders, quarters (right side behind tire has a spot of rust about 1/4" in diameter),  hood and deck lid are very solid with no rust through.. For the most part the car only needs blasting/sanding, door ding repairs and paint.  Trim is decent but could use some polish and a couple of small dent repairs. Car could use a full set of weatherstripping.   The drivers side door was dented in a parking lot in the mid 80's and re-skinned.  It has rust at the bottom of the door. At the time of the door re-skin both lower sides of the car were repainted. Included in the auction is a replacement drivers side door from a 1977 Lemans in excellent condition with no rust and original green paint.

The black padded dash is in very bad condition although possibly restoreable but also included in the auction is a full dash in Red from another Can Am. The black front seats need restoring and two extra Can Am Parchment seats are included.

Along with the 1976 455 that is in the car, the original engine and transmission are included as well as a 1978 Pontiac TA6.6 out of a 1978 Trans Am.  Another Pontiac Turbo 400 from another Can Am is included.  The 455 ran when I purchased it and it moved under its own power onto a trailer and into the garage.  The 455 currently has the intake and heads sitting in place but not installed.

There is a full set of 3M brand Can Am graphics from Phoenix Graphics included.  These have been stored in the house and are in the container they came in.  They appear to be like new. I don't know if they have a shelf life but they at least four years old.

The car comes with a clear title and some original paperwork including the original sales invoice and some factory documents stating this Can Am's authenticity.

I have had the car for a few years and started collecting parts and started to remove the engine.  Too many other projects got in the way and I have decided to sell this Can Am.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When 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.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
