Back when I was living/growing uo on the North Side there was tons of love for our cars. My buddy I ran with & I did work on a few for some of the guys cause they knew I had my '81 Monte & he had a few over the years (my brothers' '81, a '80 Elky, a '84 GP, '86 MC LS, & his mom's '81 Regal). We became pros swapping out dead transmission's in these cars. Seemed like everyone we knew had one, a relative had one or was looking for one. I bet there's more on the North Side but depending where you go you better have some good street smarts cause if some of they guys are like the ones I knew they were serious players but not in the G body world.

Don't see many in the South suburbs.
A few El Caminos are visible from time to time and some GN's appear at local cruises, but Montes, GP's, Regals, Cutlasses and Malibus are kinda scarce on this side of town.
Of course, I might not be hanging out in the right places. Most of the guys I know are more into 60's and early 70's muscle cars from their youth.
