GM’s affordable, intermediate G-bodies — which included the Buick Regal, Chevy Monte Carlo, Oldsmobile Cutlass, and Pontiac Grand Prix — were very successful when they rolled off of the production line in the 1980s. But there was one area where they fell short: aerodynamics. The Ford versus GM NASCAR battles were going strong, and while attractive on the street, the Grand Prix’s angular rear window was creating drag and rear-end lift on NASCAR oval tracks. Pontiac’s solution? The Grand Prix 2+2 Aerocoupe.

The Aerocoupe (and its corporate sibling, the Monte Carlo SS Aero Coupe) was all about improved aerodynamics, and it wore a large, sloped rear window that smoothly channeled air down the back to a large decklid spoiler. Combined with the new rear deck, a smaller trunk lid, and a smoother, sloped nose, this homologation special was sleeker and more stable on-track.

This example is one of only 1,225 1986 Grand Prix 2+2 Aerocoupes built, wears eye-catching silver paint, and has a rebuilt powertrain that’s ready to hit the street this summer.
