Wife's aero coupe project
We've had this car for at least five years. I'm now getting ready to begin tearing it down for a rebuilding. We've got another one that we are using as a daily driver.

Lets see the daily one too!
I wouldn't mind having one of those some day - when I have more space, time & money.

The aero coupe that I'm getting ready to work on, I bought in Conn. about five years ago. Must of been quite a site with the current paint job. Here's our daily driver. I put full length floor pans in this one last year. She's going to break 150,000 any day now,still runs good.

Had one about 1993. Trunk sucked. The little air dam under the nose would break easily. But was solid as a rock...drove perfectly for me for upwards of 130000 miles.
Oh ya...... sucked in the snow. |

I recall going to a Pontiac dealer in Plano Tx back in the day, it had a multi-story parking garage attached to the dealer, you had to take a elevator ride from the showroom up to each level. I remember going up and seeing 3 of these parked all in a row up in the garage. I know I took a photo of them, but I have no idea where they are today.

 A couple other projects got in the way. Here's a little more work done on the driver side floor and door jamb. The other door jamb is in good shape, but I'm going to weld more to the reinforcement brace as I have done on the driver side. Hoping to show some more progress sooner than later.

Looks real good. I think that the cracked door jambs are caused by bad hinges that are not repaired in a timely manner. Too many door "slam cycles" to shut it.
CAR GUY> Nice 86, I really like that interior. My GP has a 60/40 bench with the pillow top look. Its not sporty but its kinda cool and comfy. |

Car Guy, that's a real nice GP. She looks show ready. It's hard to be able to hang on to a guy that long.

Car guy - what did you get those front seats out of? They look like late 3rd gen, early 4th gen f-body seats. I was thinking about putting those in my 80 Grand Prix.

I noticed back in the day that Pontiac started putting the same bucket seats in Firebird, Grandam and Grand Prix. Right around that time, '85 or '86. |

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.
