The sixth-generation Pontiac Grand Prix was once a mainstay on American roads, offering consumers reliable transportation with aggressive looks. You could also order your Grand Prix in a variety of trims and with varying levels of performance, and we’ve written about some of the unusual and rare specs like the ASC McLaren cars. In my opinion, these were some of the best-designed GM products from a visual standpoint (not necessarily ergonomics or interior quality) and they still look sharp today. This 1996 Grand Prix listed here on craigslist is in excellent condition and features the desirable B4U Sport Package.

The seller is asking $10,500 for the Grand Prix, which shows 73,000 miles and looks tidy with clean bodywork and no obvious modifications. Now in its final production year, the sport package began to hold a little less meaning, as every coupe got the upgraded cosmetic features. Still, the transformation was meaningful, as the Grand Prix came equipped with fender flares, dual exhaust, 5-spoke alloy wheels, and a rear spoiler, making for a much more aggressive appearance than the base models. 1996 saw the lowest number of Grand Prixs produced, with under 80,000 total units.

The 3.1 V6 was by no means exotic, but it powered many GM products without complaint. Power was average for the year, clocking in at around 160 horsepower and 185 lb.-ft. of torque, paired to a four-speed automatic. The GTP was the hot ticket if you wanted a performance-oriented model that backed up the racy looks like this car has, as it added a powerful a 3.4-liter, 24-valve V6 engine producing 215 b.h.p. While I believe you could pair the GTP trim with a manual in certain years, this is an incredibly rare combination. Still, if you have a GTP with either transmission, I’d wager you own a fairly rare specimen of the Grand Prix lineup.

Interior-wise, these were not bad cars. There was certainly a gap between the domestic and imports in this size and price category, but it wasn’t a bad place to spend time. The seller’s car is in phenomenal condition with deeply bolstered bucket seats showing little in the way of wear and tear, and the dash plastics look excellent as well. Finding a Grand Prix in this sort of condition is indeed a find, but I wouldn’t buy this for the purpose of getting a lot of high fives at the local car meet; to most drivers, it will just be an ordinary used car in surprisingly nice condition. Would you consider a Grand Prix in this condition to be a collector’s item, or does it need to be a GTP to check that box? Thanks to Barn Finds reader Barney for the find.
