Whew, it really pulls, as He drives 35 mph on a access road. Priceless.

[@ThePaperSun]

I've watched this video a few times, and that always cracks me up.

[@WisdomOverWicked777Rules]

That's probably fast for him

[@tlangelo]

I remember seeing an advertisement in a magazine for this model back in 1977. I was 13 at the time . To this day I have never actually seen one of these. They must be extremely rare. You have a beautiful car and have taken great care of it.

[@m0ogy]

What a superb "Classic" car....Just Awesome!!!!

[@soyounoat]

I owned a 1977 Le Mans Sport Coupe years ago. The stock 301 V8 was a gutless dog, but that car handled like a tight sports car. With the 400ci and likely upgraded suspension, this is what I wish mine was.

[@chrisallot66]

Just a fun fact... the Can Am actually made over 260 hp. The NHRA realized it and rated it as such. That would explain why it ran a 15 second quarter mile. New exhaust would push it close to 300 no doubt about that.

[@jeremythompson9895]

I'm a Mopar guy but the 77 Can Am is hands down my favorite car of the mid to late 70s and most of the 80s.....until the Buick GNX came out. These were more of a GTO then a 74 Ventura GTO was. 15 second quarter mile times are VERY fast for a late 70s car. Super cool looking car too. I'd take this over a late 70s trans am any day of the week

[@WisdomOverWicked777Rules]

There's no way at 260 horsepower engine can run 15 second quarter mile you got something wrong somewhere son

[@w41duvernay]

Yep, throw in ago set of heads, and a cam, you probably would get to 400 in this.

[@DanniTheMagicJunkDrawer]

I never heard of this car ever before Until today. I do love the red/orange/yellow stripes ....very 1970s

[@ClassicGBodyGarage]

Looks like its in good hands. Beautiful car!

[@bg147]

I don't even recall these. Very sweet. The cheesy graphics are my favorite and totally represent the late 70s. Wish I had the money.

[@ronaldcoleman9455]

I would love to see a restomod of this car too . More power and maybe T Tops. This car could be a head turning beast with the right person doing the word. Thanks for giving us the video.

[@drewerz01]

Holy God.... This car is just Stunningly Beautiful! The '77 Le Mans is one of my favourite cars anyway but this is just stunning especially for an original condition.... I've never seen a Can Am in this much detail before... Its just Beautiful, take good care of it.......

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]

Just an FYI the dash is from a Grand Prix and those snowflake wheels while they look great are NOT the factory wheels the can am came with. Cheers

[@WisdomOverWicked777Rules]

They're great looking Wheels but what did they come off of and can you get them bigger?

[@stardustdreamfactory1947]

Love the Can Am! Would like to restomod a CanAm with a SD motor and 4 speed.

[@tungstun1977]

Beautiful!! Love colonnade styling!

[@darkchild00]

It would be awesome if these came with T-tops.

[@gt-37guy6]

T tops were a great idea, and they looked cool, but never worked all that well. They leak rattle, and you cannot go through a car wash after that car was more than 10 years old, those seals and T Top clamps sucked.

[@infichif]

'77 was Pontiac's best year!

[@fordboss9275]

Beautiful car!

[@jbyrd0861]

Love it!... One rare pontiac in stunnig condition

[@MichaelandCathy1999]

Non-original wheels, supposed to be body colored rims with chrome rings. Again, non original functioning scoop. At least he’s right about the dash. It does have the optional console shift instead of the column shift. And, yes , the 400 ci was underrated at 200 hp... honest number was closer to 260.

[@tomcannone8894]

Michael Wojciechowski no way the HP rating was 170 net.

[@MichaelandCathy1999]

Tom Cannone Well, according to other sites and vids, including well known classic car sites, it was closer to 240-260 h.p. than below 200. For example, the Hemi has always been stated to be 426 ci / 425 hp, but many sources with Dyno tests showed it to be closer to 460-475 hp.

[@jdavidpeacock3687]

G.M. big heads were stupid in the 70s, and haven't gotten much smarter since. These were great cars,and a step up from the norm. The fact that they dumped these cars in favor of the worn out Grand Prix ,is proof of their incompetence. Same with the slowest Corvette ever built. Speaking of the Corvette,this high dollar monstrosity is ugly,over priced,and shows just how far GM has moved from its over the years,loyal buyers,in favor of the elite. Most of these buyers don't even appreciate a Corvette for what it is,or at least what it once was.

[@thedustyredneck]

I just bought one today out of a barn, I love it. restore time.

[@blakerh]

That is a sweet ride!

[@1979bird]

the grand lemans aslo had the same dash. the dash set up in those cars are a grand prix dash and console. sweet ride hope to own one some day.

[@dscese]

It's a GP dash...

[@hesstb1]

We have a survivor all white bench seat interior one with the 403 Olds. It is so cool to see the looks you get from people when you're driving it. The car only has about 77k miles and has had a very sheltered life. Garage kept and like yours treated as a collector car from day one. Nice car sir, keep it the way it is and I'll do the same. Enjoy it and drive it on occasion as I do.

[@71plymouth.]

That mam is a good piece of advice.

[@p.riverajr4146]

Wow this one must be the one and only..in this condition

[@grd4551]

I have a 75 grandam and a 73 gto my next car has to be a 77 c/a Love your car keep it perfect, Thanks for the video i'am grinning from ear to ear. I have only seen one c/a here in Canada and that was back in in the 70's Thanks Tom

[@falcondriver100]

LOL! I remember those! I forgot they existed!

[@JarvisFred]

Really nice ! Cheers !

[@MitchGrooms]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS..

[@gt-37guy6]

All these cars need are a Comp cam and a set of smaller chamber heads and you are talking some serious musclecar potential here. 70 s GM A body cars ride and perform incredibly well if they have stiffer springs and sway bars. This car has that. Now get closer to 400 flywheel horses and they come ALIVE! I have a 74 Buick Century GS 455 same body / frame as this car...love my high compression 455 with cam/headers/intake/MSD....yeeeehaaaa!

[@joed1244]

[@rockandrolllifestyle8679]

I was 16 when this came out. Needless to say I couldn't afford it .

forethorn red is the one to have cause thats the one you have here had it been white you would have said the same thing .Nice car .210 horsepower w72 pontiac 400 add some headers and 2.5 inch exhaust ,ram air iv cam an aluminum intake and some 1.65 rockers and you will wake it up a little.Then you will have a nice cruiser with decent power.

[@DiggininPa]

Great car and video-We have two at home-You could also get the interior in red/white together and tan

[@DevilDogGTO]

Very nicely done video. Cool car. Randy Bachman would be proud.

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

I thought these had an engine turned dash like the TA. I remember there was one bought new in our small town for about 2 years. I just don't recall that very well, looked at it once up close. I rolled my nose at catalytic converters and unleaded gas in those days as I had a 69 Firebird.

[@cm577]

Fantastic 🏆

[@peterhogan9537]

This dash was also in the grand Lemans and optional on the Lemans sport coupe.

[@marshallposey2063]

Badass!!

[@Idontwanttopickahandletoday]

Had the 403 version with bench seat & column shift..wish i would have keep.

[@1969pontiac1]

I had a 1976 Pontiac Grand Le Mans.. same color.. white with firethorn red inside and a landau top in firethorn red. It had the same dash as this one, but a clock was where the tach was. My car had the gauge package and a factory 8 track and the RTS. It had the 350 in it, so not as fast, I do not know if the Grand Le Mans was heavier or not. I had the Rally ll wheels and tilt wheel and the bumper group..I sure wish I had it back. For some reason the Pontiac Le Mans did sell likeother GM brands.

[@crownman1]

I WANT THIS CAR ! LOL!

[@BOKOLIS76]

i'd kill for this car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MitchGrooms]

WHERE IS THIS CAR NOW I WONDER...

[@NESherv]

You had me at "Trans Am in a dinner jacket." Why didn't they make more of these?

[@marshallposey2063]

NESherv the mold for the body was broken as an outside company did the extra cosmetic work.

[@johnpena9165]

Same dash as the Grand Prix ?

[@dscese]

Sweet!

[@harleyhoward2006]

I question those rims, being the original rims that came on the Can Am's. ,but they could be? Nice Car I have a 1973 Grandam

[@clarkgriswold5903]

First thing I noticed were the wrong wheels, never came with the snow flake wheels on a Can Am!

[@WisdomOverWicked777Rules]

They are better looking than the originals

[@skcharger440]

I grew up in the 60's and 70's and the cars where truly exciting. Of course by 1971 all my car buddies and I could see the writing on the wall and knew the party was over. If killing the engine performance wasn't bad enough the federally mandated 5mph bumpers in 1974 killed the looks of cars too. I remember when these "Can AM" Pontiacs came out we all found them laughable at best because of the anemic horse power they produced. Having said that and looking at this car I wouldn't mind owning it today. I love the interior and who couldn't like the stripes and graphics? The car does make a statement. Still, for now I'll have to stick with my '71 SS LS5 454 El Camino.

[@steviedee71]

Cool car I never seen one in person but like it I think the other style T/A rims would look good on it.

[@QualityClassics]

This was probably the best unrestored example in the world.

[@JohnDoe-wy2py]

*The wheels on this car are incorrect.*

[@whyzup6593]

They should have made a Can Amino

[@Krashdavus]

Actually, Sacot Perona's assessment is incorrect. The production of the Can Am ceased because the mold tooling required to manufacture the deck lid spoiler broke. The funds needed to refurbish the tooling was never approved. End of the Can Am production. Only a couple thousand were made.

[@M21L35]

As unique as this is, why no underhood shots to show that TransAm plumbing to view that unique 1-year-only installation in a LeMans Sport Coupe?! 42 of these were also produced (late) w/403 Olds motors, but the shaker then displayed a '6.6 LITRE' decal, as well as a different-ratioed rear axle. Can Am's were not entirely built this way by Pontiac, but were shipped (w/ 400/403's) to Jim Wanger's Motortown, Inc.facility where final modifications were performed. Orders were for 5,000 but only 1,377 were built due to a broken mold used to fabricate the fiberglass rear spoiler.

[@dscese]

I've owned three.

[@thedustyredneck]

and my 77 lemans gt parts car has the full cluster dash and same interior options

[@TeamDrif-Tastik]

It be badass if it was painted black. or a dark red

[@stephenbianchi7141]

I have always wanted one of these cars... I would have to lose the bumpers and put in some roll pans. Also it needs a 455.

[@peterhogan9537]

The 455 was not an option in 1977.

+Kd Grayson What do you expect from stock late 70's!

[@dapsapsrp]

He was on an outer road where the speed limit was likely 40 and the cars on the highway were probably doing 70. The car is heavy, at 2 plus tons, plus that Trans Am engine in stock tune put out all of 200 hp but about 325 ft lbs. tourque. It was a powerful car for the time.

[@chrisallot66]

Pontiac said the car ACTUALLY made over 260 hp but wouldn't market it as such. The NHRA even realized it which is why they were running 15 second quarter miles lol.

Guy, you were probably going about 60 when you gave that fake over reacted "whoohoo!" We all know the car isn't even putting out 225 horse, people who want this want it for the exoticness and originality. I still want one though.

[@sephtwentyone3382]

The pull from this monster is like being in a f18 rear ended by a fright train. The dust can't keep up with the dashboard so I suggest safety glasses.

[@scottyperinn]

cool car...GM used those door mounted outside rear view mirrors(ralley) on a lot of cars, you'rs does have the passenger side remote though, not common...or maybe it is if you have it. i thought the lemans was an "a" body, the trans am was an "f" ? i'd warm that poncho motor over big time, change out the vari rate steering box, and up the rear gears. those honeycomb wheels aren't original, i'd bet if you pulled them off and looked on the inside at that date code they'd predate the car.
