Are G-Body Cars extinct?

[Corbic]

Well I used to see these all the time for around $2k. Off and on always wanted one. I know a clean SS or GN will fetch good money even back 20 years ago, but the V6 Regals had always been throw away cheap.

Quick PHX search on FB and it's like...nothing. Not even a "oh wow, $7k for that junk wagon!" Just basically nothing.

I've got a GN in the shop right now, it's in OK shape, lots of room for improvement and couldn't believe it was valued at 40k Canadian funny monies.

I like it but it's a pos for that money

They went to the great shredder in the sky after being used up.

Man, even Autotrader had zero within 500 miles of me.

1 of my buddies bought a 86 (i think) T Type about a year ago maybe 80thou on the clock had been sitting in a shop for 20 years. he replaced all the fuel system and exhaust to get it back running then a tune up and headliner was replaced and its a moon roof car, all in all its a nice car.

The BGN is one of the most beautiful cars that's ever been on this earth.

I have two cousin's that have several, and race them in KY somewhere. Ridiculous HP.

Another good friend has one too.

If sex had wheels, it would be the BGN.

The track and streets used to be ruled by foxes and G-bodies. The more common ones have all been ragged out and scrapped. You might see one or two of the nicer models that survived in grandma's garage, maybe a donk or lowrider, but the run of the mill Monte's and Cutlass's have long since been turned into soup cans.

They went the same way as a lot of ubiquitous cars like the J-bodies or Ford minivans. Even the foxes and third gen F-bodies are rare. Such is the fate of the cheap and disposable.

I would have loved to run a SBO/BBO G-body.

Cash 4 clunkers is the worst genocide ever committed

Can't believe what clapped out GNs are bringing. Another car I should have never sold.

The malaise era ended with those vehicles. It seems just about any domestic turbo'd vehicle of that era is not cheap anymore.

I need to get my GN back on the road...

 

[CobraBob]

Kel, I would just be over the top content to drive that awesome '14 GT-500! She's a beaut!

Do you have any photos of your GN?

If the weather cooperated, I would agree, gotta add to that 7k miles so far, ha.

No pics of the GN currently, been off the road at a shop for far too long. Debating on doing a proper resto, but hate to be in paint/body shop jail again (painful reminders from the 66 convertible...).

Have a good day!

Just typed in G body on marketplace with a 100 mile radius to me (Massachusetts) and there was a bunch that came up

7K miles. You're really keeping them down.

I saw this in person last week. 3100 miles. Hard to tell if it is a good deal or not.

I think they’re good looking cars, primarily because of the 80s nostalgia. But let’s not get carried away here.

Most beautiful? Sex on wheels?

The 80s regal is a boxy GM rattletrap that was primarily designed for grandmas to go to church on sundays and stop by the market. By adding a turbo and a black out package all of a sudden its the most "beautiful car on earth"? Was this a serious post? You just made my day.

Saw one about 4 months ago, looked in great condition and was nice hearing that turbo spool up.

It looked stock, so pretty fast for a 30+ year old car
