Members' Pontiacs: The 1977 Can Am
Jim Wanger's 1977 One-Hit Wonder
Can Ams 1977
Bill Ostovich--1977 Can
Am. Bill bought it on New Year's Eve in 1979. The
after-market American wheels have been on since
1983.
Bill Ostovich--I used to
bracket race the car in the mid eighties. It ran a
best of 14.80 seconds. It was a great bracket car,
running very consistent ETs.
Bill Ostovich--it has a
stock drive train (400CID) but dual exhaust was
added. Jim Wangers' own company took these Lemans
Sports and added the striping, customized the hood,
and added the "ducktail" spolier.
Bill Ostovich--it has a
firethorn red interior with a column shift.
Bill Ostovich--Nowadays,
it is used mainly to go to local cruise nights. It
still makes it to the dragstrip occasionally
though.
Bill Ostovich--5,000
were slated to be built and customized by Wangers,
but the die broke for the ducktail spolier so they
stopped production at only (estimates vary)
1,200+!
