1990 Pontiac Grand Prix Turbo ASC/McLaren coupe

1990 Pontiac Grand Prix asc/McLaren

McLaren races in Formula One, otherwise known as the Grand Prix circuit, and Pontiac’s sporty personal coupe has long been the Grand Prix, so it’s a match made in heaven, right? Well, first off, it’s not exactly THAT McLaren, so don’t go looking for funny doors or carbon fiber on this Pontiac. ASC is American Sunroof Company and that brand partnered with McLaren originally to build a series of fancy-pants Capris and a little later, Mustangs.

The company also turned their attention to Pontiac’s W-body Grand Prix, resulting in a limited series of ASC McLaren turbo coupes which carried more aggressive cladding, hood louvers, and a 205-bhp edition of GM’s 3.1-litre OHV V6. A 4-speed automatic was the only transmission offered

The McLaren Grand Prix also came with gold basket weave wheels and four-place seating rather than the plain jane car’s plebeian five. As you might expect, these were pretty much loaded, and yes this one does have a combination lock for the glovebox. Way to go, Pontiac!

The unique badging and cladding is all intact.

The interior is likewise gorgeous, and exemplifies Pontiac’s freakish obsession with covering every available surface with grey plastic buttons, including the koumpounophobia-enraging steering wheel center.

Behind that leather-clad tiller, the full analog gauge cluster is flanked by a pair of equally button heavy modules that reach out at you from under the dash cover like the stuby-fingered arms of a fat kid, eager to wrap you in their sweaty embrace. Blech! Still, look at those seats! They’re like Barcaloungers. And there are only four of them.

Considering Grand Prix special editions, they don’t come much rarer or more intriguing than the ASC McLaren. Only 2,700 were built in ’90

This one isn't perfect but its as close as a 120000 mile example can be. the paint is gorgeous the only flaws are some peeling clearcoat on the black trim. It runs strong all the electronics including the HUD display work as they should. It needs a new radio mast everything else is there.

Go find one in this condition that you can drive and enjoy or take to a car show and win a trophy.
