Mold was fixed it would have been a great seller for pontiac
Wow...what a shame about your almost CanAm! Maybe you'll find another one day but in the mean time, enjoy cruising in your GTO and Lemans! Thanks for watching and for the great comment! Oh - hope you are a subscriber now - you won't want to miss our follow-up to this video. This car has just finished a complete restoration and it is even more amazing now!
I really liked this car the first time I saw it in 44 years in the US even though I used to have a Pontiac TransAm 79 at 1985. Listening to the story makes me understand why I have never seen this type of car before. Thank you for sharing so interesting.👍
Thanks for watching and we are so glad you enjoyed it. Be sure to catch the part two post restoration video we did a few weeks ago! Thanks for great comment!
That's awesome that you had the engine rebuilt to proper hp.! For this 70's muscle car. I seen one of these for the first time in 1985 at a car show. I thought it looked awesome, but when I knew these cars only had 200 hp factory. What a let down. I mean my 1969 Chevelle Malibu with a 307 2bbl, 2spd powerglide, when I bought it in 1983, had the same rating. So glad you had the vision to increase the hp, it's still a matching number car. Just more enjoyable to drive today.! It has the muscle, to back up the great styling.!!
Thanks! This is such a sweet ride - especially after the restoration. Did you see that video? It's even more stunning now and a major award winner now! We had a ton of fun at MCACN with that car and the two owners, Mike and Denise!
Mike Lamberth...lol...I worked with Mike and cruised North Town with him. Small world..I also bought a Can Am.If you see this Mike give me a shout....Have a good one Marty
Beautiful Can Am i always had a soft spot for pontiacs i remember as a kid my dad had a le man's and I had a 1977 Chevrolet Malibu when I first got my driver's license
Good luck in your search! There is a FB page for these cars where you can hunt as well. Thanks for the comment and hope you subscribed and are now part of the ITCCT family!
Oh, I bet you would and so would we but don't think that will ever happen! Thanks for the nice comment and sir, thank you for your service! Hope you are now a subscriber!
I don't plan on selling this beauty anytime to soon, as I mentioned in my video that I have begun a full frame off restoration on her so I can hardly wait till I get it done and show it to the world all over again
I will make sure Mike sees this comment. I don't know if you can "order" a rear spoiler but maybe he knows where one can be found. There is also an active FB page for these cars and you might find help there as well. Thanks for the comment and good luck!
As far as I know there are none being made in reproduction as this is the reason the car was such a limited production car. If someone was to get one from someone's car and make a mold and start producing them then they might be able to sell them?
My dream car!!

@@IfThisCarCouldTalk yep. I missed it! I’ll definitely have to pay closer attention!
Great story. I've loved this car since I first saw one at age 16. I hope I can find one of my own to love and care for someday.

Please Ask Mike where I can order the rear spoiler?
