Best looking GM A-body?

**Prince Valiant** · 08-30-2006, 07:53 AM

Yep...Aurguably GM's best looking body style ever. So which version of which do you think looks best?

Myself, it was tough b/w the buick GS's and the Olds, but, olds for the win

The GS is sweet and gets my vote. Although the '70 Chevelle has always been a favorite too...

GTO....

you forgot about early monte carlo

I love the Cutlass Supreme/Covert body style. But don't like the 442 style that much.

So I guess I'd vote Poncho.

the GS is hot

I don't think that is considered an A-body though, is it?

**77thor** · 08-30-2006, 11:23 AM

Chevelle hands down.... especially the 68 & 69's

I thought it and the GP were G-bodies

**Rocket Power** · 08-30-2006, 11:26 AM

Hmmm I don't know which way to go. I guess Olds

I prefer 64 with 68 a very close second

G-Body didn't come about until 1982.

They where considered A-Bodys...

The Monte Carlo was originally created as Chevrolet's answer to the new A-body Pontiac Grand Prix, which had been introduced to great success for 1969. For the 1968 model year, GM had instituted a split-wheelbase policy for its A-body intermediate cars: 112 in (2845 mm) for two-door models, 116 in (2946 mm) for sedans and station wagons. The Grand Prix was a two-door coupe riding a special 118 in (2997 mm) version of the A-platform (known as the "A-body Special"). Rather than add the extra length within the body to increase passenger space (as was customary on sedans) the A-body Special spliced the extra length between the firewall and the front wheels, creating an unusally long hood.

I really don't have anything to say, never guess what my vote is.........

68RR...I had a 71 GTO, 455HO 4-Speed, no option car, sold it about 10 years ago, thats the 1 car I really regret selling.......

**GRNDNL** · 08-30-2006, 11:54 AM

Sounds sweet, a 71 or 72 GTO are high up on my "If I Win The Lotto" list.
Any pics of yours?

**t_a_crazy121** · 08-30-2006, 12:32 PM

GTO all the way

**JC70SS** · 08-30-2006, 01:26 PM

Hmmm......I just can't decide

The 80's G-bodies I know a bit about

I could have sworn I've read in the past that the monte and GP back then were refered to as G-bodies.
Oh well doesn't make a difference anyway. Other than metric fasteners is there really any difference between an 81 A-body Cutlass and 82 G-body one? It was typical GM retardedness to come out with a new platform and give it the name of an existing one and then change the name of the one that already exists.

**LEWETHETIGER73** · 08-30-2006, 10:00 PM

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.

**WhiteZCamaro** · 08-30-2006, 10:09 PM

68 and 69 Chevelles all the way
