Can Am

I got some grief for not showing a photo of a mid 70's LeMans at a recent Wed night cruise. So on my way back from my daughters wedding in Spokane, Washington, I spot what looks to be a Can Am sitting at the side of the road in Idaho. I did a u-turn and took some photos.

That is ashame, so few were made too. Overall it seems to look like a great start.

The interior is full of parts and the shaker is there but sitting lower. I think the carb is off. It is sitting between Sand Point and Bonners Ferry in northern Idaho. There is a lot of iron sitting in yards and behind shops down there.

I am no Can Am expert but I believe that 'K" in the VIN denotes the 403 Olds engine and not the 400 Pontiac T/A engine which is a "Z".

The pieces are all inside the car, and the shaker is there sitting on the manifold. It might be a worthwhile project.

They are a rare car indeed. Love the shaker. Why can't it be close by in Ontario?
