A rare nameplate for Pontiac enthusiasts, the Can Am was a special edition muscle car produced for just one year.
Introduced in 1977, the Can Am was the brainchild of Jim Wangers, a marketing mastermind who previously championed the iconic GTO.
Inspired by the thriving Firebird Trans Am, Wangers believed Pontiac still had room for a high-performance midsize model.
He envisioned a LeMans with more muscle, drawing on his experience creating performance packages for competitors like Ford and Dodge.
A rare opportunity awaits in Clearwater, Florida: owning a 1977 Pontiac Can Am, one of only 1,377 ever built.
This LeMans performance variant missed its original production goal due to a manufacturing hiccup and internal competition but remains a unique piece of Pontiac history.
Though it’s not in showroom condition except for surface rust, faded trim, and a dusty interior, the real prize lies under the hood.
This Can Am boasts the original 400 cubic-inch V8 engine, unlike the handful equipped with Oldsmobile’s alternative. For $13,500, you can own a true classic, with some elbow grease required to bring it back to its glory days.
