Under Priced Chevy - Your Next Project Car
|
General Motors designated its mid-size A-body platform through the '81 model year; in '82 they renamed the same platform (mid-size RWD) the G-body. These mid-size cars were produced (depending on model) until the '87 and '88 model years. When choosing one of these platforms you'll be money ahead with a factory V-8. Most As and Gs with V-8 engines are 305-powered. This '87 El Camino has a 200-4R-overdrive automatic and 3.42:1 gears added (pulled from a wrecked Monte Carlo SS), a combination that provides a combined 20 mpg. Chevrolet's rear-drive Monte Carlo ceased production in '88, the El Camino in '87, and the rear-wheel-drive Malibu in '83. View Related Article
