I have no complaints, that's about the sharpest gp I've ever seen! Do you have any interior pics? Does it have the vinyl interior?

Big thanks for the kind words, Evan!!! I really appreciate!!! For the interior, here it goes:

Yep, no problem. Interior looks to be in pretty good shape too.

Not a single tear or crack anywhere except for the console cover wich is starting to crack a little bit and my belt buckle cover on the side of my seat that is spliting in the mold line... otherwise, still like new!!!

Maybe I'm just not used to seeing 14" rims on gbodies.


LOL!!! Well this is his factory original rim size but i've put bigger tires than factory! He came out of the line with 195-75-14, not THAT is small!! LOL!!! I changed my wheels but wanted to keep as close to factory as possible! If i modify something on this car, i do all i can to make it look like it could have been factory installed!!

What I was saying is that since some come with 15" x7" rims and when we would get a Gbody the first upgrade would be 15" rims but we also weren't going for the bone stock look. I rarely see a stock/unmodified Gbody around here with stock wheels never the less 14" 's on them. The trend around here is big lift kits and 24"-30" rims which to me kind of looks like a giant roller skate.

Also, I'm curious as to why you refer to your car as a "he" rather than a "she" and the only time I've seen that is with a female owner.

Aaah Haa!! You live in the DONK kingdom, if i got it right???? LOL, that something that i can't stand, personnally!!!! For the ''HE'', well to me, big serious toys like this are MEN stuff and in French we say UN Grand Prix, instead of UNE Grand Prix, UNE being for ''female'' if i can say it that way (i'll stop right there 'cause if i start explaining French , we could be here until tomorrow night since it gets so complicated sometimes LOL!! Even if i'm a French Canadian, i've always prefered English at school since it was WAY more logically structured and easier to learn!)

Yeah, actually north of "Donk Kingdom" which would be Detroit. I don't like them either and the worse part besides the lift kits they install is some ruin the car by actually cutting the fenders and quarter panels to make room for these monster truck tires.
I've been looking around for a new gbody project and if you can find a factory unmodified car they want top dollar.

You're looking for new project??? Hmmm, i'd have to ask the owner if he wants to sell but a few houses away from my place there's a '78-'80 Monte Carlo that seems to only need to be refreshed, wich would make an EXCELLENT frame-off project base!!! I can also check the local classifieds as we have a nice number of G-Bodys on my side of the border!! What's the maximum distance you're willing to go to pick the car up?
