It's a good day for the Gbody community

Thanks very much. Just to clarify though, by interior floor pan, you do mean the trunk floor pan, correct?

Yea, sorry. In the midst of working on some other floor pans at the job....floor pans on the mind

 

[pontiacgp]

there are already floor pans available at gbodyparts and other retailers but no trunk floors.. like clean said all the G bodies with the exception of the wagons and el camino use the same trunk floor. Wonder why no one wants to make them cause there must be a market for them.

We if you want to be exact there are 88,452 Cutlass Supremes registered as of 5 minutes ago in the USA. I wouldnt use the term lazy. I would use the term more convenience. In some cases lazy yes, but in my situation the closest G to take parts from is in Indianapolis. I would much rather get on my computer or pick up the phone and order a fresh new part for me to use. Think about what you said, registered G body Cutlass. Registered means on the ground rolling, or have rolled since going to the DMV for your yearly gift to the state. If the car is rolling will you ask the guy for his grilles or doors? This couldn't be the viable option for obtaining the amount of plentiful parts you explain above could it? What is your opinion of "real" demand parts? I am very interested in your opinion!

Out of curiosity, where would one look up such information?

My company pays for experian data. FYI there are only 4 Bugatti s in the USA. lol, if I remember correctly.

Ah cool. Any chance you can see how many 81 - 87 GPs are registered nationally? I'm curious as hell.

Heck if you could post the other G Body stats, that would be great.

Pretty rare then, :lol:. The 2+2's were just base GPs so that means that of all the 86 GPs, the majority remaining are likely the 2+2 models. It's too bad you can't tell from the VIN...

BTW 88 is when it was swapped over to FWD so the total is 11802.

Ok so tonight I realized why the floor pan was not repo'd the wheel well for the spare costs lots of development since it protrudes so greatly. we really need the support if we make it. You all up to it?? Put up or shut up huh?????

WOW tobyp! Is that list for registered GP's current as of this year? Ima try my damndest to add ANOTHER GP to the 85 LE model year..HMM my ex 81 LJ is even more scarce then my 85 LE GP... Gives me even more motivation to get something done this year.

 

[pontiacgp]

the spare tire well isn't part of the trunk floor

Current as of last night.

If you want to add something to the list of repro's try Rear Wheel Wells (inner and outer). I need the outer wheelhouse R & L for my 87 442 and all I find is MC parts.

Thanks for putting the effort into this project. I'll be stalking GBodyParts.com from now on looking for this stuff.
