I race the Mustang every summer since its mostly a strip car now. I took the srt-10 and ran it a couple times when the mustang was down. Most the cars I had intentions of keeping, but get bored with them pretty quick. Same thing with projects, once I finish one I have 10 more Ideas for other projects.

I save alot by doing all my own work on the cars I have owned and currently own. Usually if I get rid of one I will at least break even or make a few bucks. The 97 harley I tore down completely, polished and painted the tins. The 81 turbo TA i stripped down to the metal and repainted, I also upgraded the suspension. I also painted the black 88lx, did a H/C/I and some other mods. The 300zx TT only had 60k on it but the turbos and clutch where shot so I had to pull the engine & tranny to replace the clutch and turbos. I also wetsanded and buffed the car. It ran great after that. The only thing that I have done by someone else is my dyno tune on the 89LX. With the kids I have slowed down alot and plan to keep what I have for a while. Not ready for any new projects.

Now that I know how to post pics I figured I would share some of the rides I got rid of in the past couple years.

The cobra wing and badges where on the car when I bought it. I guess the original owner liked cobras. It did fit well with the cobra wheels, cobra gt/40 intake at the time. I never cared enough to change it to the 5.0 emblems, although a 93 SVT Cobra is at the top of my list for a next car someday.

Thats a very tastefully done sleeper. I would love to take that car out and destroy some egos

Is that the 84 regal with the preacher sticker, Mc donalds drive through club stickers on the window and old school curb feelers? Thats one of my favorite sleepers of all time.

I love the car. Its the only turbo buick I have ever owned. I spent a couple years searching for a clean WE4 before I got this one. I have never ran the car at the track. I was planning to set it up with a progressive alky kit this summer to wake it up a bit more. I dont think Im going to make it to the horsepower nationals this year. I guess part of the sacrifice when you have 2 young sons 21 months old and 6 months old.

AHH, someone knows their Buicks. Its a 1987 WE4 Turbo-T. I usually just say Grand National rather than writing a novel trying to explain what a WE4 is LOL. The only diff is, the WE4 had grey interior, aluminum bumper supports, aluminum rear drums and the T wheels making it much lighter than the GN. They were only made in 1987 and only 1547 where ever made. Here are a few links with info about the WE4 Turbo-T. http://www.hemmings.com/mus/stories/2006/12/01/hmn_buyers_guide1.html http://www.g-body.org/history/b/over-b.php Here are a few quotes From the sales brochure: "The WE4 Turbo 'T' Package will enable you to merchandise a car that is similar in appearance, and yet lighter in weight, than today's Grand National. This reduction in weight theoretically makes the Turbo T faster than a Grand National, and for a lower price." I think the price difference was like $138, so not much savings there. From hemmings muscle machines: A grand total of 1,547 WE4 Turbo-T units left the assembly line, meaning that aside from the GNX, the Turbo-T is one of the rarest turbo Regals to leave the line. The announcement of the model came compliments of a Buick Product bulletin dated November 11, 1986; already well into the model-year production, with a production start date of December 8. Interestingly, just two days prior, a bulletin had been released stating that the WE4 would no longer be available with the WO2 black-out kit trim package. According to Dennis Kirban's book, Kirban's Guide to 1986 & 1987 Buick Turbo Regals, "They (Buick) did this so it would not be confusing having two Turbo Regals available at the same time in black." He goes on to explain, "The only difference between the new WE4 version and the black one with the WO2 exterior sport package would be the old WE4 version would have matching black bumpers. The new one would have chrome bumpers." Just how many truly black WE4s Buick made before the change is not known, but it's a good bet that not too many of these were built.

Thanks, its been a fun daily driver.

Hello, im new to this site. I have a supercharged 89 5.0 LX with a 351W 5.8 TKO600 trans. I also have a 1987 Grand National that is mostly stock besides exhaust, intercooler and chip. Last is my 2004 SRT-10 Ram, pretty much bone stock for now or at least untill the warranty is up on it. This is my first time attempting to post pics on a forum, so I hope the show up. http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn119/sc351fox/srt1.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn119/sc351fox/srt3.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn119/sc351fox/IM000115.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn119/sc351fox/IM000415.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn119/sc351fox/IM000477.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn119/sc351fox/gn.jpg
