Restoring an aerocoupe

[Thenewguyhere]

I thinks it worth putting a $1500 window on. That car + $1500 window is definitely worth $2500 to somebody.

Im sure those dont pop up very often either, if its still around in a few months I probably could. Thats funny its more then the car

Rear windows are not made any more. You can buy a whole car cheaper than a used glass if you can even find one. There was a company making them out of lexan but they are out of business last I heard. You could buy my dad's 2+2 complete and ready to go for $9000... LOL

Im sure its nice! If I had 9000 saved I wouldnt be me

If the 2+2 is anything like the Monte aerocoupe then make sure you get the seal/rubber trim with the window. That is harder to find than the window and you guessed it - no one repops them.

Thanks for the tip and yeah im slowly starting to notice the difficulty of finding the right stuff

EDIT: Doh I misspoke. It wasn't clear from your first 2 pix, but yeah, that is a 2+2. Sorry about that.

I'm not sure but is there too much "shiny" on the car? I thought 2+2's had the black out treatment like the Monte SS.

Is every grand prix aerocoupe a 2+2 though or is this just the base version aerocoupe?

The 2+2 is the aerocoupe. This is what the 2+2 cars looked like, all in silver.

Here is how the 2+2 was ment to be (a nod to UNGN)

This is how every other '86 (& '81-'85, '87) looked like.

And the main reason for the street version of the 2+2.

it's not an areocoup 2+2, the roof was beaten with a hammer and smoothed out with body filler to change the profile of the corner to round it off for the window. You can see the body filler added to meet the curved window.

this is the real aerocoup
