Another Buick in my Garage!!!

First of all, I have to credit my lovely fiance Sara for spotting the car. I was driving, she was in the passenger seat and she noticed it.

I am now the proud owner of a bone-stock 87 Grand National with 89k miles. It needs a little TLC and paint, but it's a great ride. It was on the dealer's lot for less than 24 hours.

I'd put up a picture, but it looks just like every other Grand National, so it seemed a little pointless with this crowd. It does have one key difference though -- IT"S MINE!!!!

Suggestions for Vanity plates welcomed.

BTW, I'd owned it for less than 2 hours when I got my first "nice Monte Carlo SS" comment.

Congrates on the GN purchase.

 

Your gonna love it. It only takes a few things to really make them fly and still drive like a stocker. Mine has some bolt ons and runs 11.76. My brother has one that is his daily driver and with only a chip, k&n, fuel pump and hooker exhaust has ran 12.70's. Good luck, enjoy it.

Congrats on the purchase!

Hey Freed ,you gonna bring that thing to KCIR this summer? Maybe you'll give me a run for my money!:laugh: Really,congratulations on your new purchase and I look forward to a ride this summer.:Brow: Jeff

 

Nice purchase.

I can only wish.

For a plate how about SPOOLED (the haus fraus will think you're a blond ditz and it really means SPOILED).

 

I'd have to buy a solid rear end for that, right?
