Austin people?

[Sean Mullens]

I noticed a few of you are from Austin, but I dont think Ive seen another GN around.I do drive mine daily,I think I have seen a WE4 and a white T type but no GNs. Where are you guys? Just saying howdy Austins' not much of a car town and especially a GN town.

 

[disco stu]

I got a GN, it is down right now. Had multiple lifter tie bar failures, caused some damage. Will be back together soon. Big solid cam that works despite what anybody says, steel crank, H beams, girdle and steel mains, Cottons FMIC, T70, etc. Austin is a ricer town, but there are a few places to go looking for trouble.

austin dude back again

Hey Sorry I was M.I.A. , My grandmother passed away in El paso so my wife and I just got back.To answer Jeffs question we live by the Arboretum in NW Austin.I truly love my GN,however it really needs to be gone thru and tuned to get the most out of it but I havent had a chance lately.Maybe this weekend.Well its really good to know yall are out there.Could come in handy if one of our cars is driving us crazy.We are a rare breed of car people.

[TXGS]

I will be updating the website soon Sean! Thanks for your reply also try to make it to the X bash, We have over 54 people coming so far, Some great fun can be had for $25 if you want to race, or $10 for gate fees if you want to come watch and surround yourself with great buick people....

Same Dude

Yes thats the one Gary. I had been looking for one for a while and was about to fly to nashville to get one when this one popped up on autotrader online .It has been a great daily driven car. I also have a 71 Chevelle with a new 355 and holley aluminum heads.But I dont drive that one very often.
