I would also like the big car catalog, but don't see the point of a separate GP catalog. The few things that are different can be noted. It should save some on printing.

We're making a G body catalog and a B body catalog. The logic is that very few G body items interchange with B body. Both car owners get frustrated when they browse through a catalog, find what they want only to realise it doesn't fit their car.

OK, I get what you meant before...something like a '69-'87 (??) catalog for G and maybe '55-'76 on the B?

Actually 69-77 but yes you get the idea.

In that case, you'd better send me one of each!

I'd like one--with lots of pictures. I often use them for reference.

Question to all: are the '78-'87 GPs being represented (catalog-wise) anywhere?

FWIW, the reason I axe is because with the 16-30 year-olds who are getting into the hobby these days, that body style is the 'car that dad/grandpa had when I was young' type of thing (in much the same way a '62 Biscayne was for people my age) and it maybe a good way to keep younger people into wrenching.

Your observations are valid. However, only the performance market has embraced these vehicles. We are not in a position to effect a lot of change with these cars at this time. Maybe if we get the early G bodies moving, we can put some R&D into the 3rd Gens.

Chirs, A few yrs ago someone was stamping floor pans for the 78-87 Cars, It might open the door if you at least sold weatherstrips and the pans?

That kind of repro is a big help. Trunk floors too. If anybody knows of any 76-87 repro parts, we'll certainly add them to the catalog but we are basically starting from ground zero.

To add my 2 cents worth to this post: I religiously hold onto my only copy of my old PY catalog. I have a difficult time finding what I'm looking for on the on-line catalog. A paper catalog is a whole lot more fun to "stroll" through at night. There's nothing like curling up to a good car magazine or catalog on cold winters night!!

I too, would enjoy a catalog. I'll take the GP & non GP one unless you decide to just make one, then I'll take whatever that is too.

count me in for at least 1 catalog. I find when I order from a catalog that I order items in addition to what I need - that comes from flipping pages and seeing stuff I did not know was reproed or stuff I had forgotten I needed.

Count me in as well. For both Full size and Goats. I've given up numerous times trying to find things via the on-line catalog & it doesn't help my carpal tunnel either

Chris,

Like many others, I am looking forward to a Full Size catalogue and I intend to show my appreciation by making PY my first choice for parts.

Thanks.

Vince
