Default Rare Pontiac Brother of the mid 80s SS Aero

Don't see many of these...






Look at that rear deck, wow.

Car is for sale here in the St. Louis area I found it on Craigs List, don't know the guy or the car, if you look at it approach with caution.


Here is the text to his ad
This is a very rare Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2. Only 1118 of them were ever made. Less than 800 are still in a VIN search.
Body on full restoration. Less than 100k miles.
Body was stripped to bare metal, NO RUST EVER. Dupont Base coat / clear coat. Correct factory colors...Factory correct stripe kit...
bead blasted wheels and painted correct color.
Complete new interior upholstry... seats, carpet, headliner, sunvisors, NO cracks in the dash.
New battery, alternator, wires, shocks, new weather stripping through out.

Over 12,000.00 spent on the restoration alone. This car is a beautiful investment.
It is much more rare than the Monte Carlo SS, Cutlass 442, Grand National, Regal, or Malibu.

May consider part trade of Street rods, 83-88 Monte Carlo SS, Please understand I would rather sell the car than trade.
I dont have interest in many cars.

$8000.00.
Won't ship it. Funds will clear my bank before the car will be released.

I've seen pictures of one once a while ago. I hate it. Rare or not. The oddly out of place look of a hatchback Grand Prix, with a hideous looking grill.

Yuck!

God help the poor owner of one of those cars if the rear window ever gets broken.

I think that was Pontiac's answer to the question, "How can we take a successful product and make it butt ugly?"
