Hello All. Just joined the site last week after lurking for sometime. Do not currently own a Buick :ball: but owned a '63 2dr skylark 4 speed in '63-'64 and part of '65 (raced @ Fontana, Irwindale & old Colton CA airstrip) when traded in for a '65 2dr skylark GS 401 w/AT (raced on street). Had a '70 2dr Skylark GS350 bought after returned from Nam and had it for 6 years till sold. Retire this year and am on the lookout for a nice '63 similar to listed above or a nice '70 as listed above (455 or Stage 1 would also be fine) to play with once again. Do hope I don't get kicked off this site account not a BUICK owner..... I'm trying to correct that situation ASAP. :grin: Ya All take care and keep the rubber on the pavement. Later, Jim

Jim,
Welcome to the board, don't worry about getting kicked off because you don't own a Buick, enthusiasts are welcome here! I will warn you though, after a couple of weeks of reading the board you'll be sooooo ready to get yourself one you'll have a hard time containing yourself :grin:

Hey Tim & Jim,

Welcome! Tim, I figure a 3.8 turbo would fit nicely in that Regal, as would a 455.

Jim, start organizing your funds. You be the owner of a 455 GS soon, I'm sure.

Doesn't matter if you own a Buick just as long as you enjoy them. You will find that EVERYONE HERE IS PLEASANT AND VERY HELPFUL.We all have the same thing in common.
