My first and probably last G-body was the 78 Calais in my sig that I sold in April. I loved the car but have others I preferred to keep over it. My 71 Malibu I've had for 20+ years and the wife wants it redone. Who am I to argue? :D My 47 Ford truck has been in the family since 1969 when my step-dad purchased it. It will be my next project after the Malibu is finished. I also am supposed to end up with my Dad's 69 Big Bad Blue Javelin when he's done with it. 3 toys is plenty for me to aspire to!

My introduction to G-bodies was as follows: I learned to drive and passed my drivers test in the family 84 Cutlass Cruiser v-6 wagon. My step-dad has a 79 Cutlass with a 260 that has been in his family since new. His aunt bought it originally then my grandma owned it until he inherited it. He needs to sell it as it never gets driven and has rust issues. It does have a perfect tan bench seat vinyl interior.

Silver 80 cutlaas with the factory moonroof. Bought it when i was 17 from the kid next door that i grew up with for $400. Threw a cheap stereo system i had layin around in it and drove the piss out of it for about 2 weeks before the 260 blew and i scrapped the rest. Sucks too cuz the body and interior except for the front seats were flawless. The paint was damn near showroom shape. That car hooked me cuz i went to pick my super hot gf up from work 1 day and she said i looked good in that car. Since then ive had 2 79 el caminos, 79 cutty, 83 cutty, 85 grand prix, 86 regal, and now ive got twin 86 and 87 cuttys...

My First car I have ever owned was my 1987 cutlass supreme. I have to say im very proud to be able to own a car like this in 2012 and being 18 at the time I purchased it I was very stoked. The reason I got the car was mainly due to my dad which was a funny storie because he didnt really want me to get a car like this.

The story of my dad in his gold 79 monte carlo my mom told me about always made me want a Monte carlo. When I was young I thought it was the fasted muscle car around. Back in the year 1997 we had a Black Cutlass supreme and I loved it to the point when my dad was trying to sell it I told the lady it was a peice of junk.. she bought it anyways and that was the last Gbody we owned until 2012.

My dad told me not to buy a car that was 25 years old becuase it wouldnt be a good DD but once we went to look at it and we seen that it had not been winter driven or beaten on and it had a 3.8 we agreed that it was time to bring the Gbody back home. I gave the seller my 1 year savings that I earned at my part time job and I wouldnt regret buying it for anything. :)
