Must be rare, it has independent suspension. I would pay top dollar but it doesn't have an aircleaner on it. Probably be too difficult to find one to match the rareness (if that's a word). Wonder if it blew off during a high speed chase.

thats not even a can-am its like a partial can-am. unless someone else made that body kit other then greenwood/ecklers.


would like to know how he knows its a 402 since the 402 was a 396 punched .30 over by chevy but was still labeled a 396 or turbo 400 in their cars. and was only made from 1970-72 so guess that makes his care not so rare anymore huh lol

plus stainless steel rotors wow thats gotta hold some heat on those puppies.

Good question. The only thing 68 on that car is (possibly) the pink slip.

What he meant to say was that:

I liked how he positioned "Turn key" and "Needs TLC" right next to each other.
