    Car is sold to, whom I believe to be, the best possible new owner I could hope for. Thankfully I didn't have to go outside of this website to sell the car. A Buick enthusiast who will take care of it and make it better has paid for the car and will be loaded on a truck today. Enjoy your new...

    Ty Dhos1. Also, if anyone wants to chime in as to wether or not I have the car priced appropriately, feel free to do so. I'm no market expert, all I know is what I paid and what I have in it. So if any veterans could weigh in that know the market could let me know, I'd appreciate it.

    Central IL fun in the sun

    That's awesome man. My father is originally from here, worked at Bauer Buick in the 60s. He's got a million and a half of these stories and he, as well, talked about cars meeting at Steak 'n Shake. He still has 2 1965 Buick riviera gran sports left from his collection. He was a Buick dealer...

    there are a couple of pics earlier in this thread, but I will post more when I get closer to ready to list the car. It's so dialed in now that I was hoping to have a bit of spring time fun before I list it. She wants it listed now, as per our "agreement" or whatever solution we determined in...

    I just realized I never followed up with what that last issue was on the previous page of posts. Turned out to be an issue with the ALKY control brain box. Loose wire wasn't allowing alcohol to feed nice and steady. The car was perfect when I'd hold the test button and get on it, but not when...

    New Grand National in Peoria, IL. Need to find local GN peers

    I've had so much fun with this car. It still blows me away how fast this Buick is. I've had to replace the wastegate gasket and went ahead and did the turbo gasket as well since it was apart. Tune was checked and verified that it was dialed in at a local performance shop on the dyno and they...

    No data logger but I'd love to get one. Anyone know where to find a used budget unit? From my understanding it increases the refresh rate of the scan master also... is that correct?

    My mechanic did end up installing exhaust header gaskets, the remflex brand ones. When weather clears up, I'll take a volunteer for a joyride that can give me an educated opinion on how is running. Volunteers in my area anyone?
