73 Chevy CanAm Pics Specs and History

Enjoy the 73 Chevy CanAm Pics and History. As you'll see, this really is a rarity of a Classic. Suffice to say that only 100 of these were ever made and not in North America either, these rare Classics were built in South Africa.

 

Here is what the Owner has to say about this Car:

 

A homologation race special (hence only 100 made) these cars have a winning history as long as your arm. Not just on black top but entered into SA rally as well! Built by the factory with only one thing in mind "WIN WIN WIN".

Press description in 1973

"Once you're used to it, you can nip through the cluster of lesser cars like a tiger chasing its dinner ... you snatch a change into second at 90 km/h and then second shoves you firmly back into your seat as the car pulls with its teeth ... At over 220, the car is smooth but very busy. Curves become bends and you have the feeling that only a slight increase in wing area is needed to turn it into an airborne projectile."
