'86 1/2 GP 2+2 production
Does anyone have any details on who and where the production modifications were performed on the 2+2? Were they done by a contract vendor? If so, who and where.

I do not remember if they were in house but the work looks like it was done by drunk midgets with a sawsall and a rivet gun. I can say that when I stripped my 86 for paint there were no asc stickers in the door like my Sunbird vert had.

It was done outside factory, I can't recall the vendor. When I had mine painted the 2nd time the rear glass was removed for reseal, and the channel was not complete around the entire glass. They had to fab a couple sections and weld them in, never leaked again. Sadly shes waiting for another go round at the painter......Dave K.

Eric, this paragraph is taken directly from Pontiac Car Distribution Bulletin No. 86-G-4, dated January 24, 1986.
"Effective immediately, Pontiac will accept orders for the new Limited Edition Pontiac 2+2. These cars will be produced at the Ste. Therese Assembly Plant and then shipped to Auto Fab, Inc. in Ortonville, Michigan where the conversion work will be completed. The cars will then be brought back to Pontiac where they will be shipped, via truck or rail, to their final destination. (Invoices will be mailed at this time.)" I’ve always really liked these cars and have been gathering info on them for many years. The backlight glass is the feature I like least, but I understand its aerodynamic purpose. |

Thanks Rocky, that's what I was looking for. Ortonville is less than thirty minutes from where I live. I wonder if the Auto Fab facility is still standing?

No problem Eric. Do you have one of them?

I do not. However, one of my dream collections would be made up of the mid-'80s G-bodies. One from each division: '84 Hurst/Olds Cutlass, '85 Monte Carlo SS, '86 G.P. 2+2, and the one I already own, '87 Grand National.

try www.grandprix2plus2.com for some info. I have a 2+2 that needs a resto that I would be willing to part with. Let me know.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
