Can-Am resto

[Trublu]

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

Just want to be first to say that if you end up with a big block Can-Am car... you suck.

If I end up with one I think I agree with you but am prepared to accept the suckiness.

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 7

There was also late 60s early 70s wingless McLaren

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....

If ever in the Midland, Texas area, be sure to stop by the Petroleum Museum and visit the Jim Hall/Chaparral Racing display. All of Jim Hall's race cars are on display including the famous "sucker" car. It is an outstanding collection and display.

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.
