Eric Rankin?

Anyone know who he is? Was rocking my dorky 87 gn hoodie last night at work some guy said his dad had a T for awhile got it from Eric Rankin who had a dedicated buick shop in Connecticut back in the day..

Guess in winter 2015 when we had all that snow the garage that it was parked in the roof caved in and totalled that same t.. he described it as white with blue interior & blackout packaged with split bench column shift.. rare bird.

I think Rankin was long gone before 2015. BUT thats my old mind thinking so take it with a grain of salt. Rankin had a GN. Remember it had an engine fire but in no time he was racing again. I think he had some family problems.

Ahh interesting.. found a few old threads about him from way back thru searching, seems like a good buick guy.. looks like another shop still active operates from there now total induction solutions.

Eric built some pretty fast stuff back in the day. I think he started phasing out in the late 90s, early 2000s, tho. He used to own Rankin Automotive, not sure if he's still in business or not.
