If you like the car an are not afraid of doing some work then get it.I'd just check it out really good before making your decision.

$1500 isn't to bad if not a rust bucket..

Here's an idea of something you can do with it

1986 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX 2+2 AERO COUPE AIR COND/ 6 SPEED

That would be a fun car, although I've been thinking about getting a Gbody and then doing a turbo 3800 build myself. Likely would happen after deployment. Lord knows I'll need a project to unwind and help me get back in the swing of things.

I'd buy it just because I have never seen one of those before. I'm sure there are a ton of parts available for it. New and used. I would guess all the body panels are and the weatherstripping.

i figure i'll at least go look at it, from what i understand it was stored inside for 8+ years then outside for the last 2. the interior, other than the T tops & headliner, is actually very clean, no aftermarket pieces from what i saw in the pics i have, no tears in the seat, no cracks in the dash. as for the paint, i'd probibly just leave it as horrible as it is, lol. mabe re paint it yellow minus the graphics.

honestly my plan for it is to get it fixed up just enough to be able to drive it to shows and leave a for sale sign in the window. figure if i can keep my inital investment around $2500 to get it on the road, see if i can get $6500 for it and make a nice little profit

I think `if you have the funds it would be a great project ride that is very rare...I don't think his asking price is that bad, especially if it' runs. Let us know what you decide Ryan...Good Luck 4-Sure

Ryan I would be interested in it especially if you bring it to Florida sometime next summer. Gregg
