Cars specifically destined for Californian or high-altitude county dealers, featured the Oldsmobile 403 Small Block making 185 hp (138 kW; 188 PS).
The Can Am package was on Le Mans cars painted Cameo White which were then accessorized in orange, red, and yellow graphics, as well as blacked-out lower panels and window trim.
Complete Le Mans coupes were shipped by Pontiac to Jim Wangers' Motortown which carried out the various Can Am appearance modifications, including those relating to the hood, rear deck spoiler and body decals.
According to the Can Am Registry in late 2007, 42 cars feature the Oldsmobile 403 engine, outwardly identified by "6.6 LITRE" decals on the hood shaker.
When the Can Am was first introduced to the dealers, Pontiac envisioned producing 2,500 units; the response from the buying public was much more than expected and over 5,000 orders were submitted.
