Just wanted to let anyone who may be bidding on this auction and happens to visit the World... this is not a true LE car since the VIN is nearly 8000 units before the first recognized Can Am 914.
This same car - VIN 4742906558 - is listed on Jeff Bowlsby's site as a "Creamsicle Tribute" car. Not a real Creamsicle <-- click for auction page (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) So if being labeled a "Can Am eddition" car when it isnt is not enough to get it removed, maybe the fact that he is missrepresenting the engine type would be
"Engine: 2.0" Sure dont look like 2.0 heads to me! I was thinking that maybe the current 1500 bid would not have been bad for a 2.0 creamsicle clone, but for a single carbed 1.7 that they didnt even bother to brush the leaves off... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) I think we should have some fun with this and turn it into a game of "What else is wrong with this picture?" No vacum hose on the PCV Looks like no cooling flaps on the engine Trashed engine tin Chrome badges on a 74 2.0 badge on a 1.7 What else do people see? Given what i see in the pictures and the fact that the rust areas are a complete unknown, I would say this guy is lucky to be even getting $1500 for it at this point |
