Squeezing a 5.3-litre V8 into a front-wheel-drive family sedan took real surgery: the GXP's LS4 needed a shortened crankshaft and a raft of other mods just to fit.
A GM photo lab tech stole clay-model photos of this Grand Prix and tried to extort $75,000 for them. The FBI got involved — one of the costliest industrial-espionage cases ever brought against a Big Three automaker.
The front-wheel-drive W-body Grand Prix that launched this generation didn't just sell well — Motor Trend named it Car of the Year for 1988, its debut season.
Pontiac's 1986 Grand Prix 2+2 — nicknamed 'the whale' for its bulbous, NASCAR-mandated rear glass — was so scarce that dealers charged 20% over sticker for one of only 1,118 built.
This Grand Prix sold its all-time best, over 270,000 cars, in 1977, the very last year of the body style.
