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.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
