That is the problem with most of the cars in my area. I have a hard time finding a running, straight car that hasn't been pumped and batteried within an inch of its life. I too can appreciate the effort, but that is it... :puke:

I think it's tough finding an unmolested g-body period, let alone one that isn't rusted or falling apart. It took me months to find my car and it wasn't local.

The ones I see here usually have hack job wiring, lift kits from gi-normous wheels, shaved trunk locks, goofy interior mods (a millions door speakers), and occasional bullet holes.

Wow, we have lots of untouched godies here where I live. Guess we're lucky. In fact, I just seen one the other day. An early 80s Cutlass. It's blue with blue interior. From what I seen it has buckets and the F-41 package. And this thing looks like it just came from the showroom. I was kinda drooling a bit lol.

This is true. Here in the Chicagoland area it IS hard to find a clean untouched G-Body car. My car was stored in a pole barn in Chesteron Indiana for the last 4 years. When my buddy's brother called me and asked if I wanted to buy it I jumped at the chance. I hate the "donk" or "hi-riser" look that most of these cars are transformed into. I much prefer the factory look, especially 442s.

I had to drive up to Oak Creek, Wisconsin for mine. It's rare to find one that's actually been taken care of WITH maintenance records. The fact that I only paid $1200 makes it even better. You can't touch a POS G-body down here for $3K most of the time.

I would much rather drive a car that has a built drivetrain and is in primer with a crappy interior than drive that thing.
