Even in base form, the Pontiac Grand Prix is one of the General Motors G-Body cars that really excelled in terms of appearance, offering great looks both inside and out.  Opting for the upper and lower two-tone paint scheme made the exterior stand out even more, with this 1985 Pontiac Grand Prix here on eBay wearing a combination of blue on top plus silver on the bottom.  This one’s a real beauty, and with only 67,000 miles of travel, there’s probably some decent life left here as well.  This cool Pontiac is located at Car Bar in Marietta, Georgia, and comes with a price tag of $16,500.

The Grand Prix was available in three different trim levels in ‘85, including the base model, the LE, and the top-of-the-line Brougham.  Fun fact: I visited my local Pontiac dealer in the mid-eighties and looked at a new LE similar to this one, except it was black on top and tan on the bottom.  The car was stunning, but one concern was the taped-on side decals that separated the two colors, as I felt these could deteriorate quickly or prematurely peel and fade.  I was mistaken, as after almost 40 years they still look really good on this GP.

In addition to choosing a two-tone paint job, adding additional aftermarket pinstriping was also a popular fad during this period, with this one wearing plenty.  Blue Lightning is the name given here, which was assigned by the original buyer, as this is said to be a one-owner example.  Some of the details are a bit sparse in the listing, but the seller also includes a link to a YouTube video, and it’s certainly worth watching if you’re considering moving forward with this car.  The paint quality is described as not perfect but excellent, and a few flaws are pointed out, all of which seem very minor.  It’s also important to note that different wheels and tires are shown on the Grand Prix in the video, but the seller clarifies that the Pontiac rims in the photos here are what you’re getting, along with a new set of Cooper Cobra skins.

This one’s nice and sporty inside, and it’s always fun to find buckets and a console in any fifth-generation Grand Prix.  There’s one very small blemish on the driver’s seat and its power motor isn’t working, but for the most part, things in here appear to be very well-preserved.  I’m not seeing signs of staining, so hopefully, those T-Tops remain secure and are not leaking.

The positive news continues under the hood, as the optional 305 engine can be found in the bay.  With 150 HP, it’s not overly energetic, but it’s good to have a V8 instead of the standard V6, which was only producing 110 horses.  I guess my biggest issue here is the outside pinstriping, but as good as the exterior still looks, I sure wouldn’t want to repaint the car to lose them, so I’d probably adjust to calling this a nostalgic touch.  What are your thoughts on this 1985 Pontiac Grand Prix LE?
