1986 Pontiac Grand Prix

2+2

Up for sale rare Pontiac, very limited production, I found this interesting info on the net  and I thought was interesting for the potential buyer to read: The 1986 model year was significant because it was the only year for the Grand Prix 2+2, a NASCAR-inspired street machine. Taking the name from the famous Catalina-bodied pavement shredder of the mid-'60s, the 2+2 was designed and built to homologate the body style for NASCAR competition.
      The body modifications that separated the standard GP from the 2+2 were obviously implemented to give NASCAR Pontiac racers an aerodynamic advantage. In fact, it was "The King" himself, Richard Petty, who originally proposed the idea of an aero-style GP for high-banks racing. Richard Petty Enterprises built a prototype of such a vehicle in 1983.
      The production 2+2 was indeed a slippery piece. Up front, the fascia panel was constructed of urethane and was heavily sloped. The grille was of a honey mesh pattern, and a front spoiler provided additional cooling and reduced wind resistance.
      The rear section of the car was also heavily modified. The aerodynamically inefficient notchback roof design was smoothed over with a large bubble-like rear window and an abbreviated rear trunk lid with a spoiler. The trunk lid itself covered a very small opening, which would just barely admit a space-saver spare tire.
      With a limited production run of only 1,118 units, the body style was not seen as an economically feasible alternative. The lack of a hatchback arrangement did in fact make it a cumbersome grocery-getter. Unfortunately, the performance of the 2+2 was not quite as exciting as its racy exterior might suggest. The only available power plant was a 165-hp 305 4-barrel hooked to a 4-speed automatic transmission. This was the same powerplant one could order in a regular GP. It was a far cry from the 190-horse High Output 305 that came in the Monte Carlo SS of the same period.
      The exterior of all regular-production 2+2s came only one way— with an attractive two-tone paint scheme featuring silver above the beltline, charcoal gray below and red accent striping between, plus blacked-out window trim. All 2+2s were "no-option" vehicles, meaning they only came fully loaded.
 

This is s a very nice car from the 80's that   this care was purchased by my friend years ago, and since then has been stored. Car was repainted  once , is a very nice job with a some  small imperfections here and there, overall very nice, the decals are all new.  Interior is pretty nice, with probably very but very  light wear, weather stripping should be replaced around doors, honestly  it looks  great  as is . Tires have lots of tread but  I  don't  know how old they are,  The a/c works fine and blows very cold! Oil was changed and all fluids checked and is ready to hit the road.
