I bought this house down the street
from this dude, I saw the car from far away but wasn't sure what it was, GN or
T-Type? So, I went over there one day while he was mowing his lawn.
I asked what is up with the Buick, he then asked if I wanted it. I was
thinking $3000 and I would take it. But he said he would take $750 for
it. I said OK. He said it stopped running 9 years ago. I got
all sorts of parts with it, IAC, Crank Sensor, and so on. Turned out
that the oversized tires rubbed through the inner fender and broke a wire.
Anyway, a few thousand later, it runs like a top!! It is a 1986 Buick
Grand National 99% stock with 87k miles on it. Bill |
Here's a Pontiac GT37, enough to make
one cry. 2 tattoo'd car fanatic's in WI just letting it rot. |
Here's a couple 60's Chevelles that
have been sitting in the driveway for years now. The red one has been
there for 15 years and the green one popped up about 5 years ago. They
are really rotted and they never move. And they are not for sale, they
are going to fix them up one day. They would be good parts cars or maybe
a fixer upper. PA |
I found this 396/325 HP matching #'s
1969 SS 4-speed Ragtop in a barn in the fall of 2003. It has been
sitting there since 1977. With the door closed on the barn and very
little traffic going by, I don't have a story about the 100's of people trying
to go back and buy it. In fact, I was able to purchase the car and it is
in the process of being restored. I will be bringing it back to life to
stock condition with as many original GM parts as possible. Tom NY |
