Anyone remember Bruce Kent?

Check this out. I found a couple pics of his GSX with the Kenne Bell built twin screw big block from back in the late 90's.

I've got pics of this car somewhere from Bowling Green. I think it was the first Natl's back in BG after they were in Ohio for a year?

I'll have to post this over on V8Buick.com. This GSX was what you would call a barn find. It was actually next to a barn and had weeds growing all around it. I knew the guy with it. It was still in great shape and could have been a great 10 foot car with some elbow grease. It was missing the drivetrain and was not a factory stage 1 car if I remember correctly. I wanted this thing bad and it was sold cheap for a GSX (I want to say like $3k or $5k), but I was a college student and was broke. So I bought my '70 Skylark 4 door instead for $50. He also had a real clean '70 Buick Estate Wagon that just needed motor and trans that he offered me for under $1k. I wish I took that off his hands. That same year I was offered a '83 Porsche 911 Carrera for $10k, a '63 split window Vette with 327 and 4 speed for $10k, and a '77 Smokey and the Bandit edition Trans Am for $1k.

Here is my Skylark:

And here is why I needed an A body Buick so bad:

This was my 430 that I had built after high school. .030 over, TRW flat top pistons, all ARP fasteners, ported and flow benched heads, Lunati cam, Crower double valve springs, TA adjustable pushrods, TA rockers. Even the motor was a sleeper since I never dressed it up.
