GNS Test car For Sale!

[scot w.]

Going over to PT.com next.... I don't think this is too bad of a price considering this car has already been sorted out and it has all the best parts available for the G-Body cars on it already.... You couldn't build this exact same car for what I'm asking....

 

[Rafs-T-Type]

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see you post an ad or a price for the car

edit: O I see, you updated the first post of this thread

 

[BandAid]

Yes it's still for sale and it's located in Knoxville,TN

 

[horndog]

those rims are sharp and would look awesome on my GN hint hint hint

 

[scot w.]

Sorry they are staying on the car whether it sells or not...

I'm good with an even trade though.

No misinterpretation here, that was just my way of saying NO but I would be glad to have the cash..

Even trade for just my wheels & tires? LOL

Darn. It was worth a shot. If you said yes, I would have had a heart attack.

Here's a couple shots I always liked:

Thanks for the pictures Dave!

You have been in my car and driven it more than anyone else, maybe you can explain your some of your experiences while in the car?

 

[TurboDave]

Yes Scot, I have driven it a lot!! For you guys or gals that are looking for something REALLY special in a Turbo Regal, this is the car you should be looking at!!!!
I have driven a lot of Turbo Regals over the years, and a great number of high performance muscle cars (remember, I'm an "old" guy) over the years which includes a good number of Corvettes (stock) through C5's.
This car of Scot's is literally like driving a slot car on the streets! I've never driven anything that "Sticks" like this one. Has a good ride! Perfect street manners!
Oh, and a ton of power!!
And of course it looks every bit as good as the pictures show. Several magazines have found it good enough to feature also!!
Of course the undercarriage is all brand new.

Oh, I forgot to mention the brakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even though they are vacuum brakes, Scot has them setup to perfection If you have false teeth, don't slam on the brakes in this car!! Fair warning, you will loose those falsies when you hit the brakes!!!!!

If I had the coin, I'd be on this car like "stink on you-know-what"!!

Scot seems to think that if he had an LS V8 in the car he could do a little better in the auto-cross sessions. Maybe, maybe not, I'm not so convinced since the car as is, pulls real hard, and spools fast! It's a flip of he coin as far as I'm concerned. I'd leave it as is!!!

You guys that build cars, take a look at the list of the build. You couldn't possibly build this car for as little as Scot is asking!! 30+K may sound like a lot, but it's a steal in this case!!!!!!

 

[Phoneguy]

NO way in Hell you could duplicate this for less !!! I have over 45k in mine plus paint and it still has the stock rear end, driveshaft, brakes, front suspension, stock rear springs and shocks, no custom interior, no aftermarket wheels/tires...etc. The car is awesome...
Good luck Scot !!!!!!!

[2swoosh]

it's simply is as the ultimate Buick T anywhere, anytime!

 

[Hot Air]

I had a chance to ride in the car at Kodak, Tn's RTTH event earlier this year. It is one NICE TB! We made 3 hot laps on the autocross track under competition and it never missed a beat or broke a sweat. No oil leaks, no antifreeze leaks, nothing! Simply said, the car is FANTASTIC! While I knew it would accelerate like a bat out of hell (after all, it is a turbo Buick), I was not prepared for the outstanding cornering and braking performance. Scot is right on...this is a "slot car" for sure. While it wasn't the fastest car there, it certainly held its own. Look at the results...it finished ahead of a lot of nice, expensive cars! I can tell you that you cannot duplicate the car at twice the asking price! No way!!

Also, I want to thank Scot and Gina (and Doug and Kim) for their hospitality at RTTH. They made me feel welcome and a part of their rabid group.

ps...I'm relieved that Scot is not selling GNS. I don't think that he realizes the extent of his contribution to corner-carving Regals (turbo'd or not). As far as I am concerned, he is our only supporting vendor concentrating on going around corners. Plus, you can buy everything you need (Detroit Speed, Ridetech, Baer, etc) from him and be assured it will all work together. I know that this is a tough business to make a living from so we ALL need to support Scot's business.
