Some more info on #007
This car spent its early life as the East Coast magazine/newspaper road test car. I had the good fortune to be given a test drive in it when Popular Mechanics editor Joe Oldham had it for a week. Joe let his then 17 yr old son Scott romp on it for a bit. We had a blast defining our launch techique!Unfortunately during its ride from my house back to his, it was rear-ended at a traffic light on RT 9 in Freehold, NJ. The driver's side of the rear bumper was pushed in and the 1/4 panel had a little kink. The car still had Michigan manufacturer's plates on it at the time. My records show that it was then sold to a Buick dealer in Tampa, FL.
Fast forward to '92 or '93 and I see the car at Englishtown Raceway Park for the Buick Performance Weekend show. The car was someone's daily driver and it had NY plates on it. The car was driven hard and needed some TLC. The stock rims were badly oxidized. I later found out that it spent some time in Rhode Island as well.
