Before I would place a single bid on that Can Am, I would need to inspect it fully in person! There are so many small details that are lacking, and some bigger ones!

The rear bumper is from a 1974-75 LeMans. The rear spoiler Can Am logo decal is far from the accepted normal location. The bumper impact strip is cracked in the middle. The lower panel black out is painted on and is glossy. Also, the blackout on the drip rail is mostly gone. Several large chips in the finish and overall poor panel fit, even for 1977 standards. Faded center cap medallion Filler over entire lower door lip. Should be seam sealer. What are those holes in the door?? 1978-up Delco radio Rear seat material is incorrect grain, and does not match front buckets, which are actually correct! Chrome rear coat hooks not correct Spare tire not even close to proper, as with the trunk carpeting. Rusty jack and tools. Poor prep and paint on inner fender liners. Fan shroud is from a same year GP. A/C compressor is modern replacement, as is the radiator cap. Missing purge line from carbon canister. Top post battery terminals. Q-Jet not installed. That's just from photographs. In person, surely more would be noticed.

I've never been a fan of the show or the car really but I'll have to admit, that seems to be very well done!

I loved that show when I was a kid...I didn't find out where this t/a belonged in the hierarchy until much later....lol
There is one at the local cruise-in here. He has it talking all the time while it is parked and always draws a crowd...hilarious |

I loved my Can Am when I had it, from 1983-1996. It was getting so rusty from being a Michigan car. I would love to find another one, but they are so expensive now.

I have owned a total of 9 Can Ams since 1997. Once I owned three at the same time. Now they are way up on price. Don't know if I will have a number 10..
