2nd gen f body vs g body

I think the above poster was just kidding around. Nice cars though, and I wouldn't sell one if I didn't have to either.

I'd keep the GP, but I like them both. The GP has more trunk space for luggage, shopping, trips, bodies...

Keep the T/A, burn the G-body.

I had a 71, 77, 79, and an 81 turbo sold them all. But kept my Malibus

I also cut my mullet, shaved off my mustache and ditched the Van Halen tapes!!


Not me but you may now understand why i chose the Malibu!!

OK that's scary how much that dude looks like a hillbilly friend of mine lol

 

[TURNA]

That dude looks like everyone that own an F-body!!!

My hillbilly friend did have an 80 trans am on 15x10 centerlines lol

id keep the f body. I'm a bit partial since I've owned 22 2nd gens in different stages lol. growing up by a nhra track there were tons of camaro projects people started and never finished so i would knock on the door buy cheap and either strip to sell at the swap meet or build. i was looking for a z/28 when my buddy called me and said he had to get rid of some cars because the town was up his butt about to many and got a sweet deal on my 80 malibu. f bodys are hot right now. cars i used to buy for $200 and strip people now sell for $5k+

I'd keep both. It would be a tough decision for me, because I have both a F body and an A body. My A body is my daily driver and my F body is my non Winter car. Both are different cars and have different purposes for me. For my Cutlass there is very little demand for restoration parts and I doubt the demand will increase. The Camaro/Firebirds will only increase in my opinion.

I really wish I would have kept my 1975 trans am that was the one that got away I really enjoy my Cutlass but I do wish I would have kept my 75 The judge made me sell it after a very expensive speeding ticket

That's a hard call. I really like the T/A. Honestly, I think it's a way more desirable car....no offense to my fellow G-body members. If I could, I too would keep them both....if not, keep the T/A.
I had a friend back in the late '70's that had a gorgeous '76 T/A, black and gold, 400, 4-spd car. The car was in mint, low mileage condition and was stolen on the streets of NYC.
It was on account of his stupidity that he kept the car unattended.
