depends if when you say on the road you mean being driven or garage art.

I resemble that remark . . . "garage art"! Love it.

As long as it is taking me to change the freakin' electric antenna . . . my 442 is starting to seem like a mere garage ornament.

I think the more important question is not how many are on the road but how much request there is for a part. Lets face it GM most likely sold more of other models that are limping along as a winter beater or kids car etc. No one is looking to restore or upgrade these, just to keep them going one more season.

That is a good point. How many people are looking for these parts is more likely what will drive the aftermarket to make parts for them.

Oh that last post didn't come out right. On the bottom I wrote good point it's how many people are looking for these parts that will drive the aftermarket to make parts for them.

Thanks for the info!! you guys are right on cars registered vs those that are not! also got account for cars being scrapped/wrecked...

That's a dumb way to look at it. What about the ones with "storage" only, not drive-able insurance during a frame off resto? Hell, I only have 1 Oldsmobile and 1 Grand National registered through hagerty. Still have a 442, Salon Calais, and some other gems in various stages of resto that don't have insurance on them. I'm buying parts high end parts - won't drive a vehicle unless it's perfect because of my OCD.

I currently own 9 G-Body's to give you an idea.

Geez, holding out on pics I see lol!!! In agreement with what you said, my cutlass currently only has comprehensive insurance on it while going through the resto just in case something happens (lord I hope not)!!! Once completed it will definitely have full coverage and historic tags.
