Here's a long shot. Anyone know of a Can-Am car for sale in need of restoration. Big ass wing early 70s preferred.

Check CVAR... I remember one of the "Shadows" passing me on the back straight at TWS ... the closing speed of a CanAm car to a 76 Mini Cooper was impressive to say the least... Jason was riding with me and we were 2/3rds the way down the straight and Jason screamed "its the Shadow!!"... he caught me at turn in to 7Quote:

Thanks David. One just like that for about a 1/3rd of the price covered in lots of dust from years of storage and in need of a full restoration will be perfect. The McLarens are sweet too, there's one for sale right now at $300K....Quote:

Bill Dollahite has a can am car at Driveway Austin but I doubt he'd ever sell it. You could ask though. It's a v6 spec car from the late 80's early 90's.
Dave. I suckQuote:

Now post some pictures and spill the beans.
Ok so I've strung this out long enough. Some, in fact all, assembly required and then some. Rob, et all, the door will be open to come look or be a part of this project. Bit of a fantasy come true. There's a cool story behind it all which is what really sold me.
