    Here are the GS production figures, broken out by body style/engine/transmission, brought to us courtesy of George N.

    I've looked at them a hundred times, but just added them up. What surprised me was that the peak GS production year was 1968 but it's not so popular now. 1970 wasn't really a banner year for anything in particular but in 1971 the figures really plunged down hard.

    I was painfully aware of that in my 68-owning days, as are most of my 68-owning friends...

    Where are all the 68s now??????
