Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. One race from new, the 1976 Mosport World Sports Car Championship which needed fresh blood to fill the field. Driven there by Jacky Ickx it sat on the pole, set the lap record and led every lap, then was retired again to Don Nichols dry storage facility in California where it has resided for the last thirty six years. Freshly cleaned up and polished but essentially unused and completely original. The 494 cubic inch 800 hp fuel injected Chevy runs, loudly, and has been freshly serviced. Offered directly from Don Nichols Advanced Vehicle Systems.

Market commentary

How many Can Am cars come from the ownership of their original race team None is the probable answer, but this one does. Its competence has been demonstrated, albeit a third of a century ago, and its not surprising Don Nichols decided to take it back home to Salinas. What is it worth A lot more than this, but at least now Don has had it appraised.
