Yes - they are aftermarkets made by G-Body parts but you can't tell. (Shhh don't tell anyone!)

The other day I ordered the headlight bezels and grilles for the 442 from GBodyparts.com. The ones on the car were pretty worn, I had repainted them several times, and the grille mounts were broken more times than I can recall. It was time - they lived a long life. As usual they were shipped...

Ordered my new headlight bezels and grille from GBody parts. I've restored the ones on there as best as I can and while they look OK, one of the mounts on the drivers side grille is broken so its crooked. I've fixed it 3 times and its just done.

Got this sweet keychain in the mail yesterday courtesy of GBODYPARTS.COM. Going to transfer my 442 keys over to it now. Its funny as I was browsing their site the other day looking for the small incremental things that its time to get to, like chrome trim and stuff. I think next on the list is...

Nice! Congratulations awesome car and pictures!

My 1986 Oldsmobile 442 We purchased it from a member of this forum, QS442 after finding it up for sale online. We had to trailer it back (as you can see in the picture) from Delaware as the brake lines were shot (and it was going to NJ). We actually got it to NJ the weekend before hurricane...

My 86 442 was built in Pontiac, MI. I have my build sheet somewhere but I got the dealership invoice from GM Heritage.

Jeep ZJ I have is not a factory color, its actually a mid-90's GM color they used on pickups and we lightened it a little. I got the Jeep a few weeks before my mom passed away as a project. One of her favorite colors was that seafoam green. In fact, her office is painted in those colors and a...

My 97 Jeep ZJ is the main one especially this winter, we also have a Suburban and a Hyundai.

If you've ever driven through the neighborhoods on the way to the track, its all McMansions and crap. I bet some of the snooty inhabitants complained about the noise. Well, newsflash people - the track was there long before your upscale homes were built. Did you not know where you were moving...

Here is the official release: http://www.etownraceway.com/mydocuments/nappfamilyrestructure.pdf It seems the drag racing will be gone, the rest remains. Swap meets, other races, shows, ect will still remain.

Edelbrock published my testimonial on their web site! Have to say I LOVE how the car drives! We haven't made it to any more shows, but have been just driving it and enjoying it. It's better than a new car.

Here is my 1986 Oldsmobile 442 before and after pictures. We purchased it in 2012 from a forum member and it has been a steady work in progress since. It started out barely running, no brakes, and in poor condition. The interior was mostly gone or shot, and there was a lot of body work to be...

Had a nice time today in Seaside at the Vintage Auto Club show - even won a trophy! First time I have ever won something at this show. Guess the engine finally did it! Lots of G-Bodies there, all Monte SS's. About 5-6 more in total. I think 3 of them won as well. Gorgeous day, gorgeous weather...

I went there in the spring, there seemed to be 100+ vendors selling bikes and crap that wasn't even car related. My 1 purchase - a hood ornament. It used to be much better. There was 1 guy there if I remember with Gbody stuff, but mostly Monte stuff. I'm going to go to the fall one on the...
