Super rare car... the value on these has always been high..... I've only seen one years ago....

Iconic "Group B" rally car from the peak of its era... no surprise about the price, it may not have been well known here, but that's a legendary car in Europe.

Many have never heard of the 100 or so Vauxhall SS Firenzas with the 302 cubic inch Z28 engined cars produced for rallying in South Africa either.

A limited edition version of the Firenza was built in South Africa known as the Chevrolet Can-Am (or the Little Chev) by South Africans using the 5-liter (302ci) V8 from the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. In order for the car to qualify for racing, 100 had to be sold to the public, so only 100 were built.

Heard one slam into a cement T pole after the guy picked it up (350 4 spd Vega), guy made it about 4 blocks from the builders shop where I was standing talking to the builder about my engine

It was a stupid light car, and with a 350 it got super squirrely when you got on it... I could bake a set off the rear in no time flat... called it my sit and spin car.

Group B, rally
