New to world of Turbo Buick

[yelvie222]

New to the website but not the cars! I've been a Grand National fan for many years since i was a kid living in Texas, and have really had an obsession for a long, long time now. If I work my plan right in the next 9-12 months I can be in the market for a GN. I know they are all great cars but I am partial to the '87. I think I've done my homework ,but i want to know what I need to look for, more importantly what to look out for, and I figure this is the place to get those answers. Anyway any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Yelvie

Welcome to the site. In addition to the wealth of collective knowledge here, be sure to spend time at Turbo Regal Web Site as well.

Welcome aboard

Now that you're here and have some time, do a LOT of reading. Once you've read all you think you have go back and re-read and start asking questions. Go to your user controls and list your location so you can find out who's near to you for help. There's a lot on here as well as other sites and you said 9-12 months so that gives time to learn. Go to the welcome and your state section and say hello too. When you find a car you're interested in see if some one will go with you to look at it and they should be able to tell you if it's a go or no go. And once again, welcome aboard.

And yet I'm still learning more as I read and post. LOL Didn't you see the thread I started in the lounge?

Thanks for all the info I have been my office reading all day!! , but one thing is escaping me. what is the real difference between the we2 and we4 options??
Most of the articles i have read seem kinda wishy washy i would like for a person with some knowledge to give a honest difference between the two sine only 1547 of the we2s? were produced it would appear that would be a desirable car, but in reading the articles and handbooks you guys have turned me onto i have to be on the lookout for replicas and frauds. Thanks Yelvie

All these Buick fans coming around..

GM should put out a Buick GN that looks like the old G-body style. Camaro is doing it... Look at the Challenger, Mustang.. Ect.. Put that small V8 with a kick ass turbo.... Pontiac is putting together that small 8 with a super charger...and I think they are going to call it the GXP ? ? It's supposed to resemble the firebird.. but it looks far from it..

WE2 is the code for a Grand National. WE4 is the code for an `87 Turbo T in black and simular to a GN but with a solid-color interior. And I agree, WE4's are very desireable also.

Also WE4 had the 10 fin turbine aluminum rims, GN had the chrome steel rims. But yes WE4 on the outside looks like a GN minus the GN badges. And of course the all grey interior, whereas GN had black and grey.
