Nice 'bird. I like it. This is a shame though...

Repaint in 1985 and then parked (Overspray from the 1985 repaint on a couple of the tires and some masking tape here and there left on by body shop). Per the original owner: "I had some rust bubbles forming on the rear flares of the quarters and wanted them fixed, the body shop convinced me to put new quarters on it, when I got the car back, it was clear they had put Camaro quarters on it...I was just so disappointed I put it in the garage and forgot about it.''

Back in '85 unless you could find some NOS quarters all that was available was Camaro repops. On a '69 it was easy to fill in the gills, not so easy to add the side detail on a 67-68.

Agreed, but if they don't ask 8-10 over they won't get their 20K for sure!

2 Can AM's in really bad shape at $2K NR in Oklahoma. Both rear spoilers are gone, but you could probably salvage a hood and a shaker. May have original engines?

I always wonder why so many Can Ams ended up in such rotten condition. And THEN when they're too far gone to be worth restoring, someone decides, "hey, these were rare and cool -- I need to save it". Too bad more of them weren't appreciated a bit sooner in their lives.

Wow is this one loaded with a lot of good stuff. The leather seats look like they've been redone, though, at least in the front. Too puffy to be original. Would be nice to see some more pics of the interior and engine compartment.

2.56 ratio is what came standard with a Firebird 400 in '68 when air conditioning was ordered. I always thought that was odd. Have owned a few that were so configured... they didn't feel remotely quick.

.

Odd about both of these cars is they have white interiors. I think every Can Am I've ever seen has a red interior (which I love), but I'm a novice. These were some of the very cool mid 70's Pontiacs.

One of the C/A's is Red Interior - but it's had some white overlay done on the seats.
And looks like it was a column shift.
The other is White/Tuxedo


The one i had - and loved it - had White Interior with Firethorn Red Appointments
Sharpest combo they had on those Cars in my full honest opinion.
White = Seats, Door Panels, Side Plastics, Headliner
Red = Dash, Console, Carpet, Kick Panels, Seatbelts
Can't remember what color the package shelf was - thinking it was Red

you could get them with any color interior that they offered on that body style. i used to have several of the can ams. i had several with red interior, a white interior with red appointments, a white with black appointments, a tan interior, and a couple with black interiors. i ended up selling all of them except one with black interior. a local guy still has the one with tan interior and i wish i had kept it also. they are fantastic all round cars.

I didn't see it claimed as RamAir , but it is an HO with LongBranch Exhaust
R/A were 3.90 axle - and no AC allowed

37C is the correct 2.56 axle code , so she had Lonnnggg Legs
Title reads like it was sold in 1971 and 2012 and 2016

I always wondered how the leather saddle interior would look with Autumn Bronze
ehh , it never looks good with any color - but it's rare.

67 GTO convert NR $500 in Georgia. No engine/trans interior. Frame looks shot, but the sheetmetal doesn't look too bad? Prolly a donor car.

64 GTO in Maryland at NR $1500. Looks like it's been off the road since 71. Seller has a zero rating, so buyer beware, but cha never know. Body looks good. No engine/trans.

Marimba Red is my favorite color on a 64
Some strange pictures/angles/targets
It doesn't say the tranny is gone - or still there - and no picture evidence to tell either way. But did see the front portion of a console and the 3 pedal arrangement.

Spinners, wood wheel, padded dash, console are good starts on a solid body.
I had a 78XW 4spd 3.23posi Marimba Red/Black fixxer-upper in the late 80's
If it had been in the condition of this one - i would still have it today.

64 Hoods are repopped now, and said to be good items
Hope whoever gets it is a PY member or joins PY, would really like to see the PHS for this car as to where it sold new.

Thanks for linking us to this one Thews

That steering wheel may be worth more than what the car is at right now... Someone has a hood in the classifieds that needs to go with that car. I like it myself.

I've seen that car here before. Can't remember the context but it's hard to forget.

[OG68]

I haven't seen it around town, but then I don't get out much here lately
