My favorite years of the G-Bodies were the last few. The early ones were very awkward IMHO, but the later shovel nose Cutlass Supreme, the Monte Carlo SS, and the 86+ with composite headlamps all get thumbs up from me. I wouldn't turn down a nice Granny owned Regal though. The thing that makes these E-bodies more cohesive is the length. They had hoods about as long as a B-body, but from the firewall back they were G-body proportions. It just gives them more presence. The main issue with the E-bodies are the lack of choices of good engines. The 307 is pretty rock solid, but is slow. It's the standard for the Riv and Toronado. The 4100 in the Eldorado is terrible and is problematic to swap. There's the diesels, but you want to stick to the last 2-3 years of those when they finally got them sorted, or if you find an earlier one that you can confirm was replaced with a DX-block GM crate diesel. Unfortunately, I have been neglecting attention on mine. I keep very detailed records and when I took it out the other night and put gas in it, the last time I had filled it up was 14 months ago. Once I get back from vacation I'm going to finish off the work she needs and get her inspected and legal again.

I noticed I never updated this. Got her to a frame shop where the frame was welded and the floor panels replaced. Good as new. quite the difference

Put in some OEM-look LED headlights so I can finally see at night and decided to do a little photo shoot

Neither do M5s, AMG63s, and Hellcats... so I don't see your point. Those probably handle in the same league as a Model S

I LOVE that N Vision 74!! That's a potential Electric Camaro/Mustang killer!
