Wonder how it works with insurance, surely they don't let you keep the totaled cars?

Owner was fortunate they did not get hot enough to ignite the gasoline that was in each car. Surprising actually. In Ohio, the owner would be allowed to buy back the cars from the insurance company at some sort of negotiated price between scrap value and a higher price the insurance company would attach to the collector value of the cars. Then the title would be either a salvage title initially, or a rebuilt title after they are fixed. Either type greatly degrade the value of the cars to a collector. Of course crafty collectors always find a way to "wash" the title and it shows up years later with a clean title again from another state.

The damage was all cosmetic so I drove it down to the State Patrol inspection station, they gave it the once-over to make sure it was safe and I was able to get a new title for it.

Any Pontiac from that time is worth saving... if at all possible. It's too bad so many have already gone to the junk yards.

Disappointed. No pics of the inside of the trunk. I was hoping to see a box of Bob Seger and Kansas 8-tracks in the trunk.

There was an absolutely rock-solid '67 2dr hardtop LeMans in the junkyard here 5 or 6 years ago. I got some stuff off of it but I should have bought the entire car. Probably could have gotten it for $500 or less.

Maybe not epic, unless "all original" means that big block chevy was a factory option on the 77 Can Am....

 That console looks suspiciously like a 2X6 piece of lumber.

I thought I knew a little about Pontiac's, but I guess not. This "all original" 77 Can Am came with a Big Block Chevy engine, radiator flex hoses, and an inner fender mounted bull horn from the factory.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
