The VIN numbers listed below are of suspected or known "replica" 86 Aerocoupes. Due to discrepancies, these cars are suspected of or known to be conversions from what were normal notchback SSs by other than Cars & Concepts Inc. and are not considered by this Registry as part of the original 200 produced in 1986.

* Please contact the MonteCarloSS.com webmaster regarding this Aerocoupe. Although the VIN falls close to other 1986 Aerocoupes, all Aerocoupe elements on this car have been swapped from an 87 Aerocoupe. Further validation is required to identify this as a legit 1986 Aerocoupe.
Here is a great model of an 86 Aerocoupe made by Mark McCullough. He made it by mashing up an 86 Notchback and 87 Aerocoupe model.
All 1986 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupes had a White exterior and Burgundy interior combination. There are some 86 Aeros that are registered that have aftermarket or dealer (Ed Morse Cheverolet of Lauderhill, FL) added paint jobs. All have been confirmed to have been White exterior from the factory.
Here are some other facts that we either know, or suspect about the 1986 Aerocoupe:
- There were only 200 1986 Monte Carlo Aerocoupes built.
- All 1986 Aerocoupes were built at the Arlington, TX plant. All 1987 Aerocoupes were built at the Pontiac, MI plant.
- All 1986 Aerocoupes left the assembly line as standard Monte Carlo (notchback) SSs, and were sent to an outside vendor (Cars & Concepts, Inc. Brighton, MI) for the Aerocoupe modification (option).
- The 1986 Aerocoupe RPO Option code was B5T. The Aerocoupe RPO Code changed in 1987 to Z16. There were NO 1988 Aerocoupes made.
- The 86 Aerocoupe's trunk was held aloft by a single gas strut on the driver's side of the trunk, which connected between the trunk lid and trunk floor. This differs from the '87 Aeros, which use two gas struts which connect between the trunk lid and top of the trunk lip.
- There is a black plastic strip that runs along the bottom edge of the rear glass that is not present on the 1987 Aerocoupe. There have been reports that the early version '86 Aeros use just one plastic strip, while later versions use three separate plastic sections across the bottom of the glass.
- Message Board member Dennis, "86Aerocoupe87" who owns both an 86 and an 87 Aerocoupe, provides the following side by side comparisoin of the back Aerocoupe glass:
"There is a distinct difference between the 86 glass and the 87 glass. The frit on the 87 is a ceramic baked onto the glass and is not as wide as the 86. The frit is the black edge around the perimeter of the glass. This black edge helps hide the interior of the car where the glass meets the interior. Makes for a clean look from the outside. The 86 has a wider black edge around the perimeter. It is not baked on as is the ceramic frit on the 87's. This wider black edge on the 86 was done to hide additional interior trim pieces the 86's have which the 87's do not have. The 86's have a more finished look around the glass on the interior as opposed to the 87's. It is either an applied vinyl or painted on. I'm not really sure. But on most of the 86's that have sat out in the sun, this black edge has cracked and peeled away from the glass. This will not happen on the 87's as it is baked on. Another difference in the glass is where it is bent. There is a yellowish orange stripe in the glass that runs along the bend. On the 86's this colored stripe runs from the edge of the seal from top to bottom. On the 87's the stripe runs from the edge of the black frit top to bottom. In other words, you can see more of this colored stripe on the 86 glass. As far as the bubble shape, I could tell no difference. If there is one it's very slight."- The rear package tray / center brake light is different from the 1987 Aerocoupe. In the 1986 Aerocoupes, there is a separate carpet piece that covers the third brake light housing. In the 1987 Aerocoupes, the package tray is a single carpet piece which is molded over the brake light housing.
- We're gathering option data to see just how identical these '86 Aeros are. They appear to be carbon copies of one another, all White exterior, Maroon interior with identical options.
- The P.E.P. (Product Evaluation Program) car listed above was most likely used by GM for magazine test drive demos. It's one of 5 early production 86 Aerocoupes that were sent to GM Engineering.
- Interestingly.. we've had four reports from '86 Aeros of Build Sheets being found under the rear seats that were FOR A DIFFERENT 86 AERO VIN NUMBER! Subsequent searching found correct VIN build sheets under the passenger bucket seat. Most likely, Car's & Concepts, while performing several Aero conversions at the same time, placed the wrong rear seats back in the completed conversions. This seems to be the most likely explaination.
