when i said if you are the owner of such a car,+ want to sell pm me,in the original post, i didn't mean 1 of the alt fuel cars, I meant a pre- production, or pilot vehicle,or special dealer built car sold as new.I was just commenting that i had seen the (doe) cars + thought they were interesting.
But having said that they do fall into a category all their own + are definetly a curiosity,Usually a alternate fuel test bed car wouldn't interest me,because their whole claim to fame is just the use of a diff fuel, + not a performance thing like a yenko camaro,callaway corvette,shelby mustang or a gnx,but they are different and there was only a few made,so they are a niche car and would have some extra value,but i think the upside would be limited, mainly do to the lack of interest in, or pizazz of an alternative fuel car.If they wern't turbo cars they would prob all be gone by now simply because their is not alot interest in that aspect in the collector car world,these are still around because of the fact they are buick turbo cars AND an alt fuel car.If they wern't turbo cars when the university sold them they would have prob been sold for $500 and driven till they died or,they would have just been scrapped or been donated to charity if no one bid on them,but because they were tr's people bought them.
I'll have to read the whole story on them again,I thought it was interesting when i read it before.
It's a cool car to own,i would keep it, Has their been any big dollar transfers for 1 of these cars, because somebody just had to have an alternative fuel car. I'd be curious to know what they would bring,they definetly wouldn't aproach what a gnx would bring, but would have a premium over a comparable conditioned t-type, This is not to shoot the cars down,they are definetly unique + therefore cool + the fact that their were so few makes them even cooler,but would someone spring the big bucks for one.The tv show should up the interest on them.
Actually the more i think about it they are kind of a pilot car,or a prototype, but for a car that never materialized, Imagine if they did,there might have been a 88or 89 or even 90 turbo regal.+ these would be prototypes for those cars
Are any of them still in unmodified ,excellent original condition.
Dammit, now you got me thinking about them
,who knows I may be pm'ing you for what the "Right" amount of coinage is,after i read the write up about them again ,or see the show. Thanks for the reply.
