Gbody article

I came across this article from motortrend today, thought some here might enjoy it. Was a pretty good read.

Linky no good for me.

I did eventually get there after a search though. Except they forgot the A-body was still the platform until the 82 model year.

10 Reasons to Buy a GM G-Body

Why GM’s 1978-to-1988 intermediate platform might be everything you crave in your next cheap hot rod project car.

Oh, forgot to add their research team sucks donkey balls. This list, supposedly of the "rarest" G-bodies on their list, is UNTRUE. Doesn't even include the 85 442 which there was actually 3,000.

• 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass 4-4-2 quantity: 3,500 (should be 4,273, which is even less rare than the non-mentioned 4,208 87 442.)
• 1983 Hurst Olds Cutlass quantity: 3,500 (should be a 1984 model. In 83, they only made 3,001)
• 1982 Hurst Olds Cutlass quantity: 3,001 (should be 0 production models. No 82 Hurst/Olds. Prototypes, but no production. I think they meant 83, which is 3,001).

They must've finally looked at this site. They pretty much hit all the basic points this time.

I posted about that article some time back bringing up the fact that they did not fact checking on details the had in it. Forgetting models, getting years wrong on a few, forgetting to add why our cars be came G's & the year GM did that.

Forgetting to add why our cars be came G's & the year GM did that.

Everyone knows they had to be 'g's first if they were going to become OG standard equipment....
