Every year the First Generation Monte Carlo Club rallies all of the members to get together for an annual cruise and meet. This year’s turnout was exceptional with over 30 members and 29 cars. Special thanks to the Western Meet Coordinator Aaron Dodsworth, for not only coordinating the event but documenting it with great some photos.

It was a fun and very eventful day for Original Parts Group and our Car Show Team on June 8, 2019, as we hosted our all Chevy car show for pre-88 models. If you are a Chevy guy or gal, OPGI was the place to be. This show kicked off the first of our two Spring-Summer Series car shows, held once again at our headquarters in Sunny Seal Beach, California. We had delicious breakfast items and coffee served by some of our team, music, awards, an opportunity drawing and a food truck provided by Roaming Hunger. Read more ›

While the body of our project vehicle was away getting metal work done, we received several parts from our awesome vendors. Take a look at the many components that went onto our 1966 GTO.

The OPGI team brought along two of our most popular rides a 1968 GTO and 1970 Chevelle also known as “The Executive”. Original Parts Group was located in the OC Promenade with a new pop up booth and tons of free parts catalogs for those that stopped by. Read more ›
When looking for a project car for 2019, the Original Parts Group team didn’t have to go very far, in fact, the vehicle had been awaiting restoration in the OPGI warehouse for several years. Here at OPGI, we do a lot of test fitting to make sure that the products we sell are of optimal fit. To do so, we need cars to test-fit said products on. The 1966 Lemans convertible has been a part of the OPGI collection since the early 2000s and throughout the years, we have used this car to test a variety of OPGI manufactured products, such as headlight bezels, mirrors, convertible top components and more. In Mid-2018, it was proposed that we take this car and turn it into a build that showcases all of the product varieties that OPGI offers, and after much discussion and internal brainstorming, we determined a resto-mod GTO Tribute was the way to go.

Why the Original Parts Group’s 1966 SS396 Chevelle has so many rare options will forever remain a mystery. When purchased from the proverbial “little old lady” from San Diego, the Chevelle was a real SS 396 originally built with the rare and desirable L34 360hp 396ci option, but what a heap. Rust, missing parts, and body damage made it a project, not for the faint of heart. “It was so bad I didn’t know whether we’d even try to restore it,” says OPGI owner Dave Leonard. “We parked it in the warehouse and went on restoring other, easier cars.” It sat there for years.

After yet another year, the OPGI team headed back to Las Vegas to display at the Specialty Equipment Market Association Show, better known as SEMA. This year OPGI had a lot of new things to show off including a beautifully restored 1964 Corvair Monza Spyder. Check out the videos below to see more of the show!
The 2018 SEMA Show was probably the largest in its history. We scoured the display buildings and outside to show you some of the great GM cars OPGI makes products for. Check out this gallery of some of the finest Chevelles, GTOs, Cads and more in the country at the 2018 SEMA Show from Las Vegas.
