Bimbling down to the pub yesterday evening, I passed this...

Not that much of a challenge then; @Getragdogleg has got it in one smile

It does indeed say Chevrolet Can-Am on the back; they were built in South Africa, and they were a homologation type for South African stock racing.

I didn't see it on the move, and it's gone now, but I bet it's absolutely bonkers.

Interesting- not to be confused with a Vauxhall Firenza!
