The Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 was created as a homologation special for NASCAR, where the dramatically sloped rear window and extended rear deck were designed to improve aerodynamic performance on high-speed oval tracks. Produced only for the 1986 model year, just 1,225 examples left the factory, making it one of the rarest G-body derivatives and… Read More 1,992 Miles: 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix Aerocoupé
We know many of you are thinking, “Hey, this is a Francis Lombardi,” and you’re actually pretty much right, but the truth is a little more complicated. We know in fact that this model, built by the Piedmontese Francis Lombardi, has taken on various names and different characteristics: the first that comes to mind is… Read More Rare texan: 1971 OTAS Grand Prix 820cc
If, at the end of the 1960s, you had been Italian twenties, not necessarily rich, but at least wealthy, you probably would have asked your father for a car like this. And in fact the target of this car was precisely the kids who could afford a car with a sporty but not as expensive… Read More Red toy: 1969 Francis Lombardi Grand Prix
Sometimes it is pleasant to see that there are variations of color for these small berlinettes produced on the basis of the Fiat 850: probably the green is what we like best, but also yellow is not bad at all. It is not bad, in particular if it is known the combination with the fabric… Read More Yellow, sometimes: 1969 Francis Lombardi Grand Prix

Of course we’re talking about the european maket which, generally, was afflicted by high taxes on big displacement car and by expensive gas prices, so… Read More Little hot wannabe: 1970 Francis Lombardi Grand Prix
Once again here it is a seller who doesn’t tell about the build year of the car he’s selling: the Grand Prix was built from 1968 to 1972 so let’s assume this is a 1970 car. A nearly fifty years old car which needs a lot of cares: this car has been parked for many… Read More Save me: 1970 Francis Lombardi Grand Prix
