Favorite previous gen? Any A-body? My top 5 favorites:

1. 70 Chevelle (My 1st car)
2. 65 F85 (Base model Cutlass - ultimate sleeper)
3. 71-72 Cutlass S (not those ugly Supremes!)
4. 70 GSX (Dare to be different - quickest non-COPO A-body)
5. 67 Chevelle (Neighbor had a 10 second one when I was growing up. Had a 396, Muncie 4 speed, & tunnel ram)

Least favorites?

Well I never cared for Pontiac's styling, 69 GTOs weren't bad but have you ever seen a first gen Grand Prix?

I also don't really like the 68-69 Chevelles. The styling is too bland for me.

67 Olds Cutlass/442
67 Chevelle
70 Cutlass
70 Skylark/GS

Not just in that order

40 442

All 2nd-gen A bodies look the same, so they're all pretty good looking.
It sounds weird, but I kinda like the Acadian Beaumont myself.

damn nice car

Learned to drive in moms 71 GS 455 very cool
1st car 71 elcamino nice
of course the bad biscayne is awsome
had 67 chevelle SS
65 nova v8

What year is that? I thought 71-72s were the first years? This is the one I'm talking about:



The one you posted doesn't look bad, but the one that I posted looks like someone just started throwing spare parts together to make this atrocity.

i think it was a 68 GP from the window tag, maybe a 67 it did have the 8 lug rims if that helps out to determine the year


i still like them as well ................but i like the cars NO ONE else does LOL

The first GP was a 62 (very nice car) that black one withthe 8 lugs is a 68 also a very nice car . They are al very nice until FWD then its hit and miss
mostly miss.

OK... but if the first one was in 62 that means they must have been built on another chassis until ??? That early model looks strikingly similar to an Impala

When did they start using the A-body chassis?

They were built on a shortened full size chassis till 68 then they switched
to the a body in 69. If you get a chance buy the book Glory Days by Jim Wangers.He marketed the GTO and was in the industry in the good old days and talks all about the success of the Grand Prix. Which is now no longer being made do to the dumb asses that run GM today .
