I hear alot of people on here say that Grand Prix are one of the very rare Gbodys to find. But to be honest its the most common Gbody I see driving around in my city. then montes then the cutlass and last but no least the regal. I think regals are the most rare Gbody to be seen driving around.

I'd like to hear what people see most common when driving around and spotting other Gbodys

I'm from Ontario Canada and I can say Grandprixs are the common G's

Without a doubt it has to the Grand Am and the Lemans.........down south here in Alabama the Cutlass is the most common with Monte Carlo SS following.....next would be your Malibu followed by the Regal, Grand Prix, and all long roof versions that were made then the Lemans......in the junkyard today were two Cutlasses and one Regal........

I see more Cutlass's and El Caminos than any other Gbody. I catch a Regal here and there but have only seen a few Monte SS's and GP's

This is fun......lets do an experiment and I hope you guys will help out with this......lets all pick a major city near where we live and use craigslist under search for all g-bodies by model name and list the number of hits you for each model.......I will do mine first and I will do Nashville TN
Heres what I found.............

Regals 10
Cutlass 32
Malibu 4
Grand Prix 3
Monte Carlo 35 (32 were MCSS)
Grand Am 0
Lemans 0

not many gp's around here nor many gbodys at all left, most have been scraped, traded for cash for clunkers, or used for a race car...I'd say montes would be the most common here tho 81-88..I actually have a hard time findin parts for my cutlass, few years back they were everywhere and parts were cheap. I too agree that the grand am and lemans would be the hardest to find.
