Dossier : 1975 Pontiac Lemans GT " Canada Cup Specials

Question: I have just purchased a 1975 Lemans Sportcoupe GT, one of 1732 produced and 1 of 124 with Tempmatic A/C. Supposedly GM Canada produced 48 of these cars as "Canada Cup Specials"..They had special order two tone red and white paint and a maple leaf decal below the GT fender emblem.. I have had my car documented by GM, but they can't confirm this, My VIN #2F37S51515730, Paint code is SPO800??...I was wondering if you could help me find out any more info?..Thanks Shaun. (From: Shaun Andrews in Alberta)

Answer: Hi, Shaun:

Sorry, but I've never heard of any "Canada Cup" Specials either. It would seem odd that they would have put out this car in 1975 since the Canada Cup hockey series didn't begin until 1976, but you never know. GM did put out some special models for the 1976 Montreal Olympics, however.

If GM Canada's Vintage Services Division can't confirm the existence of this model, you might want to drop a line to Patrick Smith (pa67smith@yahoo.com). Patrick's company is PHS Appraisals and he might be able to fill in the blanks for you.

Good luck!

J'avais déjà envoyé le troisième lien sur la LeMans 1975 dans le sujet sur la Grand LeMans 1978, je me demandais si cette édition spéciale existait vraiement...
