here it is before it was parked. i had to scan these from 35 mm prints. as you can see, the car has been droped via spindles and rear springs. this really makes the car look WAY BETTER IMHO !!!!.... add on a set of the NASCAR style wheels and you got a real racy looking machine....
also the car got backed into in the grocery story parking lot several years ago. the first pics show it right after the door was fixed at our body shop and that explains the gray primer on the door. btw, still got the rally II's put away......

the reason it was sold new by a chevy dealer was they got them (two) form a GM auction as leftovers or unsold cars. no idea where the other one is......

I bought one new in 87 the same way. It was being sold new with the full factory warranty and not by a Pontiac dealership. The car had like 1,200 miles on it and never registered. Also had a small factory promo sticker on the windshield if I remember correctly. There was an earlier aero-coupe thread that had posted info about these "promo" cars from those that had worked at the dealerships.

Making some progress on the Aero Coupe. Fenders are solid, but the doors are questionable. Floors are actually better than what I expected,but will still need patches. I had to put full length 1/2 pans in my driver last winter. Check out the wild paint job on the rim in the trunk.

Couldn't tell from the pics in post #1, but now I see whomever put that awful paint job on it was trying to replicate a Richard Petty racer. Yuck. (not to RP)

The wheel paint scheme was creative but still ugly. If they wanted it to be a Petty mobile, they should have painted the wheels white. (ugly again)

Glad you are keeping it alive and getting it's career back on track.

I just finished fitting a 71 pontiac block with D-port heads and 350 tranny in the Aero-Coupe. I welded the rubber motor mounts solid and bolted them to the mounts on the motor. Once I was satisfied with the positioning of the motor/tranny, I spot welded the mounts to the crossmember. Pulled the motor/tranny and drilled holes in the cross member to bolt the mounts to the frame. Next is floor repair.
