Famous Turbo Buick

[jake616]

What celebritys are smart and own a turbo buick(or owned....sean penn)?Although celebrity owned...i am sure I would rather own one from a TB.com owner.

What movies are these cars spotted in?

Sam Kinison was killed in an 89 TTA,,,,,and my last 87 GN was in an episode of Walker Texas Ranger

Sean Penn just had his TR stolen, then recovered. Carmen Electra bought an 87 gn for her boyfrien Dave Navarro. There are others I cant thinkof right now.

I believe that Sam Elliott owned one at one time and it was possibly destroyed in one of his movies. Somewhere I have seen a thread or website that has a list of movies and famous personalities that have owned or been involved with gns & turbo buicks. You might want to do a search. I believe that it was a website.

Hey equalizer I have heard something along those lines before, do you have a link? Burt is the man, and Bandit movies were some of the best ever. Gotta love Jackie Gleason!

There was a gn in the Substitute Part two. They show it doing a clear burn out. You guys show see it, it is a good part.

That's actually 'Out For Justice', I bought it at Wal Mart for $10 just to watch the GN footage over and over. It's an '87 GN, but they call it a GNX. Funny, I didn't see anybody mention Jay Leno's GNX.

Actually Reggie Jacksons car is getting a new motor put in right now at rons custom, i was there for my tranny and his car was in the corner with the motor out and the new one wrapped up.
