$6,000 – Abilene, TX: “1986 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2. Built in 1986 only, low production numbers, only built between 1188 and 1225, I see different figures all over the web. Its a Homogloation car built so that Richard Petty could run the cars in NASCAR. If you are familiar with NASCAR, you will know what that term means. These car are considered AERO cars, it has a special front nose and a large rear aero back
glass with a special spoiler. Every one of these car were built exactly the same, they came with every option available from Pontiac in 1986. This is an all original unmolested numbers matching car. that shows to have a little over 76,000 miles, I believe that to be the original millage, mostly because the car still has GM marked hoses. The car is powered by the Chevrolet 305 and 200R4 auto trans. I found the car in S. Dakota, the car only has surface rust and no real rot to speak of, I believe
the car was stored indoors in the winter time. The car does run and I have driven it on and off a trailer, that being said, the car does need some work to be considered drivable. The door panels are in great shape but the rest of the interior needs recovered. My plan was to do a full restoration of the car and take it to car shows. This car is a G-body, so it shares a lot of parts with other GM G-body cars. I have to many cars, so this one has to go. These don’t come up for sale very often and
is an opportunity to own a rare car for not a lot of money. I’m asking $6,000.00 OBO === Source:

Nicknames can be a cruel thing, as this 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix Aerocoupe here on craigslist can attest. It was known as “The Whale” in some circles of NASCAR racing due to the fattened appearance of the rear end designed to accommodate the expansive glass window. Though successful on the race track, these homologation specials weren’t a big seller when new, and with only 1,118 Pontiac Aerocoupes made, they’re a rare find today. Thanks to Barn Finds reader George M. for the find!
After getting smoked by Ford’s sensuous Thunderbird on the oval, Richard Petty and other drivers demanded the General make changes to the vehicles to be more competitive. With the previous design, the back end got squirrely at speeds approaching 200 m.p.h., causing drivers to back off of the Thunderbirds. With the large glass bubble on the rear, drivers were able to hang tight in the corners – but the rear view is also what lead to the Aerocoupe’s unfortunate nickname.
The Pontiac shared its unique glass canopy with the Chevy Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe, but subtle engine differences existed: the Pontiac was down on power compared to the Chevy but had 20 more lb. ft. of torque on hand. In the case of this example, it has just a tick over 53,000 original miles, and the seller claims everything works as it should. The asking price of $12,000 may seem steep to some (especially since the normal Monte Carlo and Grand Prix sell for far less all day long), but these Aerocoupes are bound to become more valuable over time, in my opinion.
They unusual G-bodies came pretty well equipped with standard features ranging from air conditioning to a limited-slip rear end. Cruise control, cassette stereo and the FE2 Ride and Handling package were also included. But while that wind-tunnel defying glass shell was dynamite on the track, it just took up a lot of trunk room on the street versions since it didn’t operate like a conventional hatch. Is that enough to keep these Aerocoupes destined for obscurity? I don’t think so, but I’ve been known to enjoy an oddball or two.
