Hi all, first time posting here.

My late uncle left behind what appears to be a 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 however it appears to be modified in someway. As far as I can tell, the 2+2 is the only Pontiac that had the Aerocoupe style to it.
It appears to have been de-badged and had fender skirts installed. There kind of a debate in my family now on what it actually is, if its a 2+2 or not.

Its a bit beat up now and I want to restore it, so I would like to know what you all think. Is it a 2+2 or some other special edition of the Grand Prix?

There should be a sticker on the inside of the trunk lid that will show all the options it came with from the factory. Block out the last 6 digits of the vin and post a picture of it.

Have you looked thru old paper to see if there is any dealer paperwork still floating around?

It should be inside of a clear plastic pouch. That's how the original 2+2 rpo tags came on them

I will need to check if the stick is still there.

I do not have access to the car right now, but as soon as I do, i will share it here. I appreciate the responses!

I'm a jackass, but those skirts have to go!

Followed closely by the wheels, IMO

Sorry, had to be said

Is it just me, or do the rear quarters on that look like they’ve been widened?

I thought GP’s quarters were straight to the doors like every other G?

They aren't my cup of tea either but I do appreciate that it is different

No, they definitely have a bulge like that from the factory... the side skirts really skew the view though

It's just a 2+2 without the decals and a set of JC whitney tack-on rear fender covers.

I figured it was something like that. Thanks!
