And all were identical in color and options! never seen one before and not the prettiest side profile https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/pontiac/grand-prix/2299032.html . Location: Salesville, Ohio, 43778 VIN #: 2G2GJ37H5G2241199 Mileage: 45,323 Transmission: Auto Condition: Excellent Exterior: Silver Interior: Gray Seller’s Description: The early 1980's was a tale of two stories for GM in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. This stretch proved prosperous by way of many Winston Cup Championship and manufacturer championship hardware. While Wins and trophies amassed quickly, superspeedway racing was lacking. Bill Elliott was taking all the glory and his face even swathed the cover of SI as Darrell Waltrip won the 1985 Cup. On the attention seeking superspeedways, Elliott's blue oval adorned Thunderbird was dominating. He was admittedly flat footing the throttle, as GM drivers were forced to lift due to stability issues. With aggravation and design help from the Richard Petty, GM spawned a new Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 for 86'. In these days, a NASCAR had to have a closely related street version to be deemed legal. That in mind a scant 1,225 street versions were placed into production and never made again. As with the legendary NASCAR spinoffs of the Daytona, Superbird, and Torino Talladega of previous, the street version was nearly identical to the on track G Body racecar. It boasted a wind tunnel designed bubble rear glass, and wind cheating front end. The innovative car closed the gap proving highly stable for racing. With the cars extensive history and scarcity, consider this immaculate 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2. An anomaly, this car came fully loaded without option, matching its 1,200 cousins identically. Each car was brilliant silver above the waist and black below, separated by a stylish two tone red accent strip. Each was equipped with a 305 V8 motor, a 4 barrel carburetor, 3.08 posi rear end, and automatic floor shift transmission. The special Pontiac logo wheels are hugged by 215/65/R15 BF Goodrich tires. Inside the conveniences include a plush grey cloth interior, wood grain dash, tilt wheel, AM/FM/Cassette, cruise, power locks/windows, and A/C. This near perfect condition, 45,325 mile automobile was limited and feature loaded in its day, and remains loaded with racing history and rarity today. Price: $13,500
As my wife use to always say (I gave up on that tactic lol) when I tried to convince her the car was a great deal because it was sooooo rare, she would just blandly ask “Ever think there is a REASON they made so few?”
The LeSabre Grand National is much more rare (117) yet people can't give them away. I had a friend that bought a 2+2 in around 1992, and my LeSabre would out run it, how handle it, out brake it, all while looking a bunch better.
I have a regular 86 grand prize with same motor combo, super slow for sure. But man those seats were so comfy. Also had the baby brother 2dr lesabre only had the 3.0l. Not the big motor......it was so under powered that even with 1 tire on stones it wouldn't spin tire. But would get 45+mpg which was great for a college car seeing I was driving a few hundred miles a week.......it was nice only filling up every 3 weeks......and the big doors were nice for a tall fat guy to get in. I always loved the 2+2 looks
Here’s a cool one. It’d be better if it were Pontiac powered, but it was built with a chebby so the 502 isn’t a bad thing. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/this-1986-grand-prix-can-conquer-modern-muscle-at-160-mph/ Patrick
The. LGNs and T-Type LeSabres had a better suspension and slightly better gearing than a standard LeSabre. It wasn't much but it made a big difference in performance.
From the same wonderful people who brought you the Aztek... I don't know, it's not that bad, I think it looks better than those sawed-off roofline Rivieras of the day. It ain't cheap, but, it'll probably find a home.
I don't like it at all. Of all the bubble back window cars, I think the Monte Carlo is the only one that looks half decent.
I like the Pontiac the best of the bubble backs, it was integrated with the trunk which gave it almost a reminiscent boattail speedster nod. Give me the formal Riv roofline any day. They did not go far enough with the LeSabre GN, it needed blacked out grill and some aero effects more in tune with the following T-Types. It looked like a regular LeSabre with different wheels and a piece of plastic stuck on the side windows, yawn. The 86 Century GN was much better executed
I remember looking at one of these when it was new at a local dealer. We laughed at it. King Richard drove one.
