Looking to maybe TRADE before going the sale route.
Want to see who may have an "extra" GN or T they can let go
Somebody surely may tempted by having a track ready 10 sec beauty for 2009. I'll trade you now or at Bowling Green.
Please no low ball offers - PLEASE don't waste my time.
Will entertain offers over $20k to put it in good hands.

This is the car for someone who want to hit the track, as I thought I would but just never seem to get the openings with my crazy work and family schedule. I had some fun with it in '07 but all too often my job kept me away from the track. The car went unregistered and needed emmisions testing last summer. Car maybe went out 10 times in 2008. Car was recently registered again and I'm dealing with the emissions.

My dad ordered this T in spring 87 and I drove him to pick it up when it came in to the dealer. He and I rode up to BG Buick Nats two years in late 80's. He ran a best of 12.8 with few common bolt ons and sticky tires up through early 90s at Gulfport Dragway in MS - maybe one of you met him back then. I tried getting it off him for years and then out of the blue he gave it to me in 2006!

I got the car mostly stock in 2006 and went a bit crazy. this car MAY have to go (not "has to") due to my job being eliminated earlier this week. I will say there's all the best parts and the "go fast" work was ALL done by Cottons Performance. The "be safe" work - roll cage is a work of art by Jamie @ Miller Race Cars in Wallingford, CT who specialize in Outlaw 10.5 cars. The "look good" interior work was done by top local upolsterer, Powder coating by Airborne Coatings.

bump

thanks for all the PMs

one interesting non buick trade being considered

would really be better off selling it far far away....

 

[nastyhabit]

Why can't I edit the original post to not say TRADE??!!?

This is a for sale only offering. $23,000 is what I'd take right now.

here is pic of rear someone requested - sorry it's a bit dirty but you get the idea.

My price on this will only go up not down
Make an offer
Come see it in person.
Crunch the numbers on what it would take to get it to this point - or I can show you the receipts...

Nice car!

 

[blue-t]

car

you got mail

 

[ronbuick]

Very nice car and also looks to attention to detail when built, all nice
quality work from what I see, just do not have the funds to do so, or I would buy this car, but just not in the cards for me right now, and this is the only
car that I have seen that flicks all the sensory bits in my little brain, good luck my friend and best wishes, nuff bloviating.

Thanks Ron and others -
I look at her ever day and wonder what I should do...

I'd like to drop in a built stock block
and I've spoken with Jack and Brian at Cottons about the next step if I was to put in a built bottom end. The plan is to switch to headers/bigger turbo/DP/single 4" exhaust.

Everything is there to support it and then those 9.5s are reality.

But for the occasional around town romp it's not money well spent.... even if I had it

For somebody ready and able to race this thing - another story...

 

[GNBRETT]

I'd like to drop in a built stock block

keep the dam think and just do it

 

[BIGWILLYV6]

Nice t

Saw the car at cecil ! Brian was driving . Can you get me a center console like that ??

 

[nastyhabit]

Post up a pic of it on track at Cecil if ya got one. I can inquire if he kept any templates. I'm sure he would make you one... Mine was a one off custom and took the better part of the week to get it just right. I saw several reject panels discarded in the process..
