Aerocoupe: 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2
When tipper Cory sent us an email with the subject line; rare G-body- 86 grand prix with funky rear window glass, I instantly knew it was one of those sweet Poncho 2+2 Aerocoupes and there was no way I wasn’t gonna feature it. But the best part is that the car is offered for a reasonable sum of money and looks great in black (this is a repaint from the original silver-black two-tone from the factory). Get one of the 1118 Grand Prix 2+2’s built to homologate an aero nose, bubble glass, and fiberglass trunk lid for NASCAR competition. Find this 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 offered for $7,300 in Hellertown, PA via craigslist. Tip from Cory.

This is so awesome. Talk about something you never see on the road. Although 165 horsepower and 245 lb-ft of torque does make you wonder if it you would ever make it up to speed on the highway…. 😀
This would turn heads at Radwood. I had a pal in college with one, despite disliking American cars at the time, I found myself admiring the styling. Too bad the ad has so few photos, I guess pics are … hard?
““RARE†Produced 2500, 1 Year for NASCAR. ONLY 200 were titled to the street.”
GM built 2300 of these that were never titled?
Had to look that up. https://www.hemmings.com/stories/article/homologation-hotness-1986-pontiac-22
“When it arrived, the 2+2 didn’t make a lot of friends. Car and Driver reported in 1986 that more than 1,700 orders for the 2+2 had been placed, but Jim Mattison at Pontiac Historic Services tells us that just 1,225 were built. And even those didn’t win a lot of friends.”The dealers were not exactly ‘excited’ about the styling and price of these cars,” Mattison told us. “As a result, many (if not most) of the Grand Prix 2+2’s production was sold at a factory auction.” Ouch.”
Hmm…
I guess truth _is_ stranger than fiction.
