Best looking GM A-body?

[68RR440]

The monte carlo is definetly not an A body.

Read what I posted above, it was considered an "A-Body Special", with a 6" longer chassis.

Sweet, there's another first gen Grand Am owner on the board.

My vote goes to the 69 Judge, or a 66-68 goat. What are the differences with the 66-68 goats?

There's a 70? GTO for sale in Grafton. I think it has been for sale for awhile.

68 was the first year for the rounder body style.

Any more info on the 70 for sale?

It's on Main st(I think that's what it's called) in Grafton north of the Shop Ko and Sears on the west side of the road. It's light blue; looked decent from the road.

70 cheville ss with the 454 and the m22......need I say more? To me that and the 70 boss mustang were the early 70's....


Btw, what was the elcamino body called, considering it shared a lot of parts with the cheville....if it is the same body, I may have to change my vote

you realize the complete dash assembly from a monte fits into a malibu.that was a cheap way to get the "SS" look with the round guages. ALL other chassis parts are the same also,including rear end.

The monte carlo is definetly not an A body. I beleive it was a W body but I could be wrong though. I am partial to my 73 Pontiac.

I would kill to have that car! Very Nice. Had a 73 GA and loved it. My dad had 4 of them as I grew up as well.

Anybody ever see the brown one that was for sale at JTM Motorsports in Muskego? It was a 73 Grand Am, it had a built 400, GTA wheels, and they wanted like $1800 for it. This was like 5 years ago, I kick myself for not buying that damn car.


Heres a cheap local project 74 LeMans...

74 LeMans $750

1970 Chevelle SS454 FTW!

Have to go with the 68 H/O in Silver!

[PB86MCSS]

I'm 99% certain 70-72 Monte's are A-Bodies....I know for sure 73-77's are *A's*.

I can't even decide which is the best looking....all of them in their high performance trim are too damn sexy. Ultimate appearing a-body would be a 69' H/O IMO. If I win the lottery someday I'll get one of each GM flavor .

[Bobby72GTO]

I would say GTO’s looked the best of course. They had lots of nice body lines.

The 70-77 Monte Carlos and 69-77 Grand Prix's are G- Body. Any part manuals will confirm this. What year did they say they were special A-body?
Granted the dash will fit but the reason they were called different body style is because some were longer, wider, and just had different styling. Yes the chevelles, LeMans, ElCamino, cutlass, and Grand Ams are all A-body's but if you Put a Monte next to a LeMans you will see a big difference. But by all means prove me wrong I will accept the fact that I don't know everything but I fairly confident in my A-body knowledge.

G-Bodies didn't officially start until 1982 when they changed the chassis to metric. But generally people refer to all 78-88 Montes/Cutlass', etc. as G-Bodies.

Without a doubt, Skylark. I owned one years ago and it is still my favorite A-body. The Skylark GSX is also the hottest muscle car PERIOD.....

Just my opinion tho.....
