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. 5 or less feedback bidders please contact me prior to bidding or I will cancel your bid. Cash at time of pickup or if a cashiers check car will be released only when funds clear. Any questions please contact at me. On May-17-14 at 17:36:49 PDT, seller added the following information: I have been asked some good questions. One question resulted in a clarification. I had stated that the car was sold new in Nebraska but actually the original owner lived in Omaha, NE but he purchased the car at Rhoden Motors Inc 111 South 5th Street Missouri Valley, IA 51555 on July 25th, 1977. Both Pontiac 400 engines come with a set of 6X heads. This auction is for a package deal and I won't sell any parts separately while the auction is going on. If the winning bidder does not want the two engines or the two transmissions due to logistics of shipping I will deduct them from the final price at $50 per transmission and $75 for the 1978 Trans Am 400 with its 6X heads. No deduct for the bad original engine but the balance of the parts from the original engine will be included and shipped with the car. I will carefully pack the parts other than the engines and transmissions into the car prior to pickup. If some of these parts cannot be safely packed into the car I will package and ship them UPS at my expense to the buyer anywhere in the lower 48 states of the US. If the engines and transmissions are wanted and it helps I can palletize the original block and the 1978 Trans Am engine along with the two transmissions and ship them ABF collect to a location selected by the high bidder. Make sure the location can accept a truck shipment. The red dash is in decent condition but does have a 1/4" chip in the vinyl on the top leading edge. It would need to be restored but is probably OK for a driver with some touch up repair. The undercarriage is as solid and clean as the sheet metal.
