1977 El Camino first G body?!?!?!

[Justin Crust]

is it rare to have a g body titled as a 1977? if so does this impact the value? do i own one of the absolute first g bodys in production?

gbodys started in 82 ! You have A body

 

[Justin Crust]

this isnt a g body?

 

[theoldsone]

Yes thats a Gbody. G bodes started in 1978. Do the vin # match on the title and the car??? Something is not right.

 

[Justin Crust]

vins match it is a california car if that makes a difference

Technically, the '78-'81 cars were A-bodies and the '82-'88 were G-bodies.

that doesnt explain the body being a g style and titled 77

 

[theoldsone]

What is the 6th digit in the vin?

 

[Justin Crust]
