NO RESERVEVehicle HistoryThis is basically a one-owner car: The original owner purchased the vehicle new in Great Falls, ontana in 1977 where he was serving in the US Air Force at Malstrom AFB (car still has a department of defense access sticker on the front bumper used to get onto base), rom there the original owner moved to Kentucky, nd then finally to Arizona where the vehicle has resided for the past 3 years. This car was used mostly as a toy and only driven occasionally throughout the decades, t has 77,100 original miles! At some point the car was rear-ended and the original owner had to replace the trunk and spoiler. He got the spoiler from a donor Can Am but I believe the trunk came from a regular Le Mans. Wanting to get the most out of the Pontiac 400, he original owner did some performance upgrades. The original W72 6X heads were replaced with RAM AIR III heads from a 68 GTO, he rear end gears were changed to 3.73 and he also added headers and dual exhaust system. In 2012 the now elderly original owner moved from Kentucky to Arizona and then transferred the title to his son who had grown up with the vehicle and had a deep connection to it. The son had some general maintenance done on the vehicle and used it very sparingly for the next 3 years. He only put around 250 miles on the car - mostly driving to and from local car shows. The vehicle was kept covered for the majority of its life so there is very little rust. This is a great example of an ultra-rare car!The car was ordered from Pontiac with the following extra options:• Saf-T Track Rear Axle• GR70 x 15 White Letter Tires• Custom Sport Steering Wheel• Soft Ray Glass, ll Windows• Front Seat ConsoleConditionExcellent mechanical condition! It runs fantastically well and is a great ride, ery smooth. The interior is beautiful, .5/10. The seats have been reupholstered and the original firethorn red trim is in great condition. The body is straight with the exception of 2 main dents and is free of rust except for a few small spots as highlighted in the you tube video. I rate the paint as Fair with fading, cratches, ouch up paint, nd small dents throughout. This car is a Driver and I would have no hesitation driving this car on a long road trip. If someone wanted to turn this into a great show car then 95% of the work needed would just be having a body shop prep the surface and apply paint and decals. The performance upgrades really make a big difference when compared to most Can Ams: 6.7 second 0-60 time!

The original owner added a hood tach to replicate the look of some 60s GTOS/Judges. This unit was not working when I purchased the car in June 2015 so a new one was just installed last week.

This hasn't been used in a long time and I don't know if it still works.• For some performance data, ran a single 0-60 pass down the street yesterday and got 6.7 seconds! I think that is really respectable acceleration given that this car came stock from the factory with a reported 200HP, o the upgraded heads, eaders, nd dual exhaust definitely have an impact. I think this time can be still be improved upon with some practice and carb adjustments. The Bad• Paint - Fair Condition. It is showing its age with chips, cratches, nd small dents throughout. Replacement decals are still available from Phoenix Graphics.• Door and Trunk Weatherstripping - dry rotted, racking, oor condition.• Dents - 2 main dents near underside of car.

I just fill up when I'm at ½ a tank to be safe.• Washer Fluid Pump does not work• Dash has crack on top side, asily covered if you get a dash mat.• EGR, hoke adjustment, nd some other emissions stuff were removed from the Carb when the heads and headers where installed. Many people believed that these things were robbing horsepower when they were first introduced and wanted them gone. I have a shoebox with a lot of these original parts that will be included in the sale. • Coolant reservoir has cracks that have been repaired with fiberglass resin and adhesive caulking. It does not leak and the fix is not easily visible because it is on the back side of the tank.• Rear seat upholstery has a seam that is coming apart and two sun stains, ee you tube video.• Exhaust - from the catalytic converters back to the rear tailpipes, he exhaust pipes are very rusted. See underbelly photos. If I was going to keep the car I would remove the catalytic converters since emissions aren't required in AZ for classic car insurance and just replace the exhaust pipes to the back.Please feel free to email me with questions and I am happy to provide my phone number as well.
