Gn T.v. Show - Help

[6SecondWife]

Hey Guys & Gals:

I need your help and I know this is the place where I can get it. Here's the story . . . my sister-in-law told me that she saw a show on GN/Turbo Buicks on either the A&E or History Channel and thought it would be a great gift for my hubby (87 TurboT - 6.95 1/8th mile). So, I go to the History Channel website and there are two DVDs available -- one on the complete history of Buicks in general and the other called Full Throttle which described two teams competing with GNs. In confering with my SIL, she said the TV Show talked about the GNs specifically, how many were made, talked about the turbos and their technology, however she wasn't sure about the competition. So, that's where I'm confused . . . is there another show out there that I may be missing or is your feeling that it was the Full Throttle show she saw? Thanks for your time and input, it's much appreciated.

I've seen the program you're talking about. I think it was the history channel.
But I can't remember the specifics.
You do NOT want the one from Full Throttle. I wont accomplish your goals. All that amounts to is a bunch of hacks trying to get two GN's tuned for a race and the winning team gets them both. Nothing at all to do with the history of the cars.

Here is a link. Each DVD has two shows so this one covers the 55-57 chevy show and the Grand National GNX show.

There was also a show on Speed Channel called American Musclecar that did a Gn/Gnx special.

Doh, looks like Dave's GN beat me to it!!
