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......[/QUOTE]

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.

Somebody in Conn. must of seen this car on the road. The last reg. expired in 1998.

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.

That's one of the nicer looking Aero coupes out there for sale right now. As limited as they are, it's getting harder to find real nice ones. The market is definately tough right now, it only takes one person to buy it. Thanks for pointing the sale out to me. I'd love to have that car, just not the right time for me.
