Don't see many of these...
Not now days. But when they were new they weren't considered rare.

Someone posted (perhaps Cort) this version of the areocoupe the rear window will not interchange with a Monte areocoupe. So don't break it. Either one of them.

back in the day when they were new I thought they looked ok. I had my monte 83 SS and then wanted an aerocoupe real bad. in person the pontiac looks better or maybe I was smokin it up too much back then.they are pretty rare. the aerocoupe's ugly cousin

I remember when they came out , I liked it. I still do, but I like those different kind of cars. I have a 75 Chevelle Laguna, fast at the NASCAR track, didn't go over very well with the public. Slope nose laguna was only made 2 years.

I owned one. Paid $75. Got it in 1992, was silver. I rescued it, just a short time from heading the salvage yard. The PO daughter bounced it off the divider wall on I-75 one snowy night. After the front smashed it spun around and damaged the pass side quarter panel too. I repaired all that. And drove it for another 9 yrs.

Back then the Mizer, O24,Horizon,Charger,Omni,Duster, and Shelby Charger were all the same body.

I bought a damaged '81 O24 in 1991 for $150 and used the '82 Horizon my sister gave me to repair it. Some guy just had to own the O24 so I sold it to him after doing a bunch of work and he abused it, then sold it off. With the $500 he gave me for the O24 I purchased the Charger, used the remaining good parts off the Horizon plus parts I bought at the salvage yard to repair the Charger.
