Hey guys, and girls. A bit long winded but here goes....
I had my share of G Bodies in the past and love them for what they are. Sold them off, bought other ones, sold them. I remember buying them for $100. Well, life gets in the way and fast forward let’s say 20 or maybe 30 years. Where the heck did they all go?? How much do you want for that??
I picked up an engine a while back that I could not pass up but had nothing to put it in. Started looking for a G Body locally for quite a while and stumbled on this in the auto parts section of Craigslist. One owner car with original title from 1986. The guy bought it for the drive train for his wife’s cutlass. Although I have to be VERY budget minded I took a drive out and bought it.
I should have looked at it a bit better than I did but I was really happy to find one that looked in such great shape so close to home. After I got it home I started to take it apart and found the car either went in a ditch or was hit in the front at one time. The front frame horns were bent and buckled in front of the cross member. If it wasn’t for bad luck I would have none.
I soldiered on and found a frame locally that was in nice shape for a good price. Solid frame but three body mounts were bad.
