Your 100% right! Long story short, Picked this up in Maryland from the original owners. At the time she had ordered the car, it took almost 6 months to get it!! She had began selling real estate, and wanted the 2 door, but it wasn't practical for that line of work showing houses. While the car was on order, her father passed and left her his vehicle, so this car was seldom driven and mostly on weekends only to their beach house. It kinda became his car and his baby. It was a sad day for them when i drove away with it being he could no longer drive. I still keep in touch with those wonderful people.

I knew there was an interesting story behind that car. I'm sure it came with all the original documentation, etc. Beautiful car.

Hrmm... how about one put away back in 2002 that, up until the end of august, hadn't been looked at since about 2006?

Somehow, amazingly, the mismatched roller tires dating to the early 90s that got put on before the 'short term storage' are still inflated.

Really appreciate the kind compliment! Thank you! .....And you gotta love the stories behind peoples rides, its as interesting or in some cases, MORE interesting than the car itself! I actually drove this home over 5+ hours, got almost 25 mpg too..i was impressed on how the car drove like new, got a lot of looks too lol

There are a LOT of cars out there that are "Common". Camaro's, Chevelles, Mustangs, Corvettes, and I might piss off some people here, but the G-Body Cutlass falls into that category for me. After all, they were the #1 Produced vehicle for what, 2-3 years in a row producing Millions per year? Even to this day, I can drive in any direction and find a G-Body Cutlass within 10 miles.. lol

Which is also one of the things that made the Grand Prix my choice of G-Body.. You just don't see them very often at all.

That why I bought my 79 Century Turbo Coupe.

Interesting to find this on the forum today. Not a G-body but I saw this last night on FB marketplace. Parked since 06 with 9000 miles. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/893259984377698/
