Where to find a g body

[Squirrelsmith]

I search craigslist, offer up and facebook market place about 3 times a day. Any other ideas?

Patience, young Jedi. Keep an eye on the Forum For Sale pages.

Amy chance you can tow something home? Southern options are less work in the long run.

Takes either time or money.

Many available if $$ is not an issue

If, like many of us, budget is an issue, you just have to persevere. Realize that the NEWEST G body is 32 years old, age-related attrition has taken many from us.

I dont want to buy one that someone has already put a bunch of time and parts into as im going a specific direction. I really just need a clean frame and body. Im hoping more will start to pop up in spring and summer

Sometimes those maybe a better deal with some sellable parts, may have some parts you'll need, be priced better cause the seller wants to unload it. Alot of times we have had to suck it up & deal with the best we can find.

I get it, but this is like the guys that want to buy entry-level musclecar-era stuff. There were a LOT of g bodies produced, but with few exceptions, people generally did not consider them "special" enough to keep around. So, demand is increasing, and supply is declining. Chevelles/Cutlass/Skylark/LeMans 2 doors were, IMO, more likely to have been "saved" over the years than G bodies.


Do you have a particular marque in mind?
