Hi all, Don't post too much but have been a member for quite a while now. I have a 1978 Regal I bought when I was 15, I'm almost 49 now. It's absolutely amazing the support there is for G-bodies now. Everything from frame rails to gauge bezels. I remember going to the dealer for my car needs back in the late 80's as a teenager and ordering parts. Then going to junkyards and stripping many G bodies through the 1990s and early 2000s, as they were considered cheesy, low quality vehicles no one considered worthy. Now after a lull we are finally getting to having the same support as early 70's muscle cars due to the popularity. Companies finally understand we can't all afford Camaros and Barracudas. Rejoice!

Now if I could only find mint headlight bezels for my 78 LOL

Good to see more parts. Problem is the value of the G bodies, still low for the most part.

It’s funny, some parts prices are on par with higher dollar muscle era cars but the cars themselves, besides intercooled Turbo Regals, are not. Climbing a little bit though.

I'd kinda call that a good thing, makes it a realistic, affordable restoration.

Market value being on par with musclecars only matters if you're going to sell.

I hope they stay relatively cheap, because I'm not done buying yet.
