OK... I know some of you will say this is a unicorn and the car doesnt exist.
I say back in the archives that someone posted a few pics of one that had the Y97 RPO and people were giving him a rash that it had to be collision repaired blah blah blah, etc etc...
Now, Having owned a 2+2 Aero and watching it rot into the ground due to its piss poor assembly techniques (Who rivets cars together anyway? Especially a car that flexes as much as a G-body?? )
I parted this car out once it lived a 300K lifespan in Hawaii and the salt air did its worst to it. But thats not what this post is about...
I'm old enough to remember these cars new. Silver, sitting on the one Pontiac Dealer's floor. The fastbacks were UGLY... (no offence to those that like them.. they were hard to sell.) They painted one Flame red metallic (GTA color) gorgeous!, and another one BLACK!... (too bad they left the decals on!) Then, close to the end of the year, a silver coupe showed up on the lot. 2+ 2 nose, decals, blacked out around the door windows and 1/4 glass, and a body colored T/A styled wind on the trunk! The car was PERFECT! (Except I couldn't qualify to buy it because I had just bought an ElCamino!)
Nobody could tell me how the car came like this... since all 2+2's were supposed to be bubble glass cars. I had a feeling it was going to be rare.
So let me tell you the story... The car I say up until about 2014, when I changed jobs. It was still a daily driver. Other than the faded Silver paint, it was still immaculate.
Almost no one knows the car exists, except for one parts guy who worked at the dealer... and me. (And a few people who see it) Its so nondescript and normal looking people dont notice it.
So read this story, and the attachment from PHS, and you'll see how rare the car(s) there are a few apparently are.
