A friend of mine stumbled upon this on Craiglist and sent it my way to look at. I've never heard of such a thing, are these really rare or is this seller full of it?

"1989 ASC Mclaren Grand Prix Turbo Coupe.
This is a very rare car, only 749 built in 1989. In 1989 Pontiac completely overhauled the Grand Prix with ASC McLaren's help, resulting in a limited series of ASC McLaren turbo coupes which carried more aggressive cladding, hood louvers, and a 205-hp edition of GM's 3.1-litre OHV V6.
Here is a great old school video of MotorWeek's review of the car with host John Davis. The video is half way down the page:

- Car runs well and has brand new tires with less than 2000 miles on them.
- No leaks at all from the motor or transmission.
- Paint on the car is generally shiny except for a few spots where clear coat is thinning. There is a small area on the hood where paint is coming off(see pics).
- Car has the dealer installed rear spoiler, which has some paint fade as well.
- Interior is in very good condition with no rips or tears in the leather. The leather has been treated with professional leather protectant to preserve it, so the leather is supple and not cracking at all.
- Car was never driven in winter - so no rust
- A/C just recharged this week, so blowing nice and cold
- Car was stored in heated garage for last 5 years...I have it out now and am driving it to enjoy it a bit before it is sold
