Wouldn't surprise me if a '97-'03 Grand Prix front clip could be bolted to a '00-'05 Monte body. The side profiles of the fronts look very close.

As for the Camaro, if it wasn't for the pics of the work, it looks too perfect/clean a split, I'd say it was photoshopped, but I don't think it was.

Imagine the painstaking detail and calculations to make sure ALL the lines were "on the money". Either way, not for me, too goofy looking.... Needs to go one way or the other, not border lined!

 

a "grand monte" sounds like a job for our resident body man mike(03jgmonte) theres your next project and i didn't believe the pics at first either but after seeing them all i suppose its real.

 

LOL seconded. The camaro makes my eyes hurt. and it should be a grand monte on a vette platform so its a RWD LS7 Grand Monte

 

then its just gonna be a franken car...

 

I agree.

to franken car.

 

Hi `Keane, another great find/thread...Thanks for posting...

Below is the closest I could find on a Grand Monte S.S
I didn't know that Pontiac made a aerocoupe like the Monte Carlo...(I keep learning more each day on the Web & MCF..

<!--runScript -->Aerocoupe Grand Prix And Monte Carlo

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->Always wanted an "Aero Wars" muscle car from the early '70s like the Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird, or the Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II, but have never been able to afford one? Well, if you desire an attainable NASCAR homologation special, how about one of these GM G-body specials from the '80s? What we have here is an '86 Pontiac Grand Prix Aerocoupe and an '87 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe, each for sale on eBay. Now, these may not be the most desirable cars right now, but give 'em 20 years and who knows how much they'll be worth.


The 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 Aerocoupe may have a lowly 305ci V8 connected to a 4-speed slushbox, but this isn't a car you buy for the running gear. It's all about those special aerodynamic tweaks. The aero nose, bubble rear glass and fiberglass trunk lid with integral spoiler were the parts specific to the '86-only Aerocoupe. The buy-it-now price of $11,875 isn't exactly cheap, but the Pontiac might just make you feel like Richard Petty.
Bowtie guys, this '87 Chevy Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe is for you. Sure, the Montes were much more common that the Pontiacs, but that just means they're more affordable now. This one has a buy-it-now price of $7,900. The Monte Carlo Aerocoupe does have lots in common with the standard SS model, but that sloping rear glass sure will set you apart from the rest of the mullet crowd. Mechanically, the Chevy and Pontiac are the same, though this MC does have a few more miles on the clock than the GP.

That Camaro is weird!

 

I honestly think someone should make a "grand monte" I think that would look pretty amusing, 6th gen monte with a 6th gen grand prix. Atleast one of our photoshop gurus needs to mock something up

 

I agree , I hate seeing classic cars go to waste on things like this. You have to admit though If they'd have done it with a Chevy Celebrity would anyone have cared lol, I mean if I saw an article about it I probably wouldnt have read it.

 

And that's why people/companies will always choose to ruin classic cars. Because they know it will get them the attention they crave. Doesn't matter if it's good attention or bad attention. All they want is the attention.
