Slept; that was it!!!

That bitch will be flowing some serious CFM's then.

See you at BG in 2009

OK, I know the car. Wire wheels and everything right? I talked to you briefly this year at the Nats. Doesn't your plate say "sleepr" or something?

Yeah I heard pretty much heard the same about him being into 4 wheelers with his son and stuff.

I just race my car for the fun of it. I am not trying to get into the TSM, TSO...politics and stuff.

I've been to BG every year since 02.

 

Was up there at Janis' shop a few months ago. Parvin still around?

 

Been there every year since 03 myself. Parvin is still around but hasn't been doing much with the turbo crowd lately.

There are a few of us up in the Akron area too. Mine is the slowest at 11.72 on 18lbs boost. Driven to the track almost exclusively. One day I will turn up the wick. Maybe at BG next year

Hey all,

 

Someone has offered me a White 1987 Buick Regal T-type all stock with 87,000 original miles on it, supposedly has a factory "black-out" kit on it, and only needs some sort of bumper fill-ins on the front and rear. Paint is original and nice with few touch-ups and interior is grey and mint.

 

He has offered me this car and 5,000 cash for my 90 blown, h/c/i 5.0 Coupe- anyone know what these cars are worth? I would only be interested in it to resell and use the cash+proceeds to put towards a vette...

 

I am thinking fire-sale worth too- worst case scenario....

 

Thanks!

Andrew

 

Without seeing the car and knowing state of how it runs, it could be easily worth $9K-$13K. Bumper fillers are a couple of hundred dollars and at 20 yrs old they deteriorate. I am not sure how much you are trying to get towards a downpayment but the Turbo Regals will not go down in value anytime soon given there is a limited number of vehicles left. If it is a WE-4, the value is higher. There were only about 1500 made. They were a Regal with the LC2 engine and a black out package. Very desirable! Since it is white it is not a WE-4. If you are trying to get the car to to sell it then you may want to look at some of the Buick boards to see what they are going for. Turbobuick.com, Turbobuicks.com, T6P.com, GNTTYPE.org.

If you place an ad at these sites then the guys inquiring will have very specific questions about the car and they know what they are looking for but they know the value too so if it is a car in good condition and tune you are just preaching to the choir.

BTW - why trade the Turbo Regal for a Vette. Mine is quicker than those, has A/C and gets 23mpg (unless I am high under boost). Can't take one a road course though

I can get you more specific info if you need, but need more specific info on the car would help too. ~Remember all Grand National are stock :burn:

got any spare motors? lol

 

I wish, these damn things are getting hard to find parts for. I fix what I need when I need it but I am about to start accumulating parts!!

nice grand nat. there damn that thing is clean. welcome to cr

 

Thanks. It has its bumps and bruises The car is not a trailer queen and I drive it to the track to race. I do take care of the car and it gets the best parts I can afford. It is not the fastest GN but it will hold its own at any stoplight or bracket race :burn: I just like to have fun and take it out for a street fight now and then. Just please don't call it a Monte SS

Thanks, Photobucket worked just fine

Here are some pics for viewing pleasures, sorry my digital camera isn't that great. Upgrades are turbo, downpipe, injectors, chip, converter, exhaust, transmission.....pretty much everything. Motor and tranny are fresh rebuilds

I am new to the sight and they asked me to post pics of my car in the Classroom under my introduction. I am not allowed to attach images though, can this be changed so I can post pics?

Yeah it is Black and stock, just like they all are I will post some pics tomorrow, It has the standard upgrades. Good for an 11 second run at the track. Us Buicks are few and far between, they are finnicky but damn they are quick with boost!

What's up CR. Decided to join and post. I am from Akron. Name is Barry. I have an 86 GN. Any of those down your way? I make through Columbus about once a month or so for work.
