    I always liked this body style, and wanted a V8 in one, but when this car became available, it was a no brainer!, when I bought it , it was a nice car, just needed "stuff " to make it a great car! this car is clean, and draws a lot of attention at car shows, funny part is, it did come with a 3.8 V6, just not this V6, older generation will remember these cars, but their eyes open wide when they look under the hood, commonly 3-4 or more "seniors" will be standing around talking and asking questions about it, the youngsters wanna know what size turbo, and how much boost, LOL
    my reason for selling...…… I'm pushing 70yrs old, and with 4 hot rods, just don't find the time (and energy) to enjoy them, and use them,
    AND...………….……….. on my bucket list is a GSX clone, or similar,
    will forever keep my 57 chevy ( 35+ yrs owning it) and my 87 Turbo Buick.

    this car is a driver, not a trailer queen, has some imperfections ( as most do) but. has the "rocket ship" ability , which makes it a blast to drive!,

    Well, that sucks!! 9 months!!

    Love the 'Hawk...
     
  13. what would you estimate the hp level to be ?
     
  14. cruzn57

    cruzn57 cruzn57

    based upon my experience with 10+ turbo buicks I've owned, 9sec to 14 sec cars.
    I estimate close to 500 hp, it all depends on the boost, and alky levels you turn up.
    currently running 22lbs boost, and low alky input, scanmaster show 0 knock!
    if your brave, turn it up! reasonably can handle 28 lbs boost. and that would be
    WELL over 500 hp!

    I have changed my price to "Offer"
    that does not mean I'm desperate, it means I'm open to reasonable offers.
    going to take it out today for a cruise, get some gas, and get everything
    warmed up and oiled up.
    will head out Rt 66 , (as I live less than a mile from it,)
    and relive the memorable days,
