First post was of my car, hehe, F*cked up, Here it is for real. Its a Turbo T, bought it from original owner for 13,200 car is Cherry

 

Engine

 

hey its real nice and all but if its not a third gen why am I looking at it???

 

because, im gonna say it, its beautiful

 

Daym I guess nobody else see's the potential in that car ... but hey NICE CAR MAN!!!! Very clean in and out (could eat off that turbo crossover pipe!!) A few mods should get you into the 12's!!! Lucky!!!!

 

Thats the thing, its not "My car" so i cant modify it, besides my dad wants to leave it stock aside from the adjustible waste gate and Thrasher chip, car is worth more stock, alleast thats what he says. Plus i think it can already pull 12's, the Turbo T (same as T-Type) was slighlty faster than the Grand National

 

This reminds me, I want an 89 turbo TA

 

Looks good, but it wont look as good as my monte when I'm done with it...

 

awesome car!!!

those things are FAST

we had one at work (i work at a pontiac/buick/GMC dealer) that was in getting serviced

man thats a nice car

 

oh yeah, 86BIRD-MY FIRST CAR
is you dad having a mid-life crisis??

j/k

 

What's "beautiful" about that car ? It's a friking Buick ! And OLD MAN's car that happens to be fast. I guess I never did understand the "beauty" of these cars. They're FUGLY! Yeah they're fast... but they're NOT beautiful. Not even close to a thirdgen.

 

Got to agree here. It's like spending money on an ugly *** hooker.

:hail:IROC-Z

 

hey lets go roll out in comptom and sip on some gin and juice lol. just playin man. although it did bring up the idea of someone thuggin' seriously though those are pretty sweet cars. l am likin' it

 

Oh yea of course i choose my third gen over my dad's car any day of the week cause i like the shape and body better. But i do perfer the buick over a monte

 

I'd say the Monte looks pretty similar... I'd rather the Buick if I were gonna get a pimpin' car... The Monte has the name and the looks for it, but that Buick is pretty much untouchable on the street.

 

Where do you see a "crossover pipe" ??? I see the intercooler to tb pipe and the cold air pipe, but not the crossover, anyway... sweet car, looks great, too bad i hate the interior's on those things.

 

Just thought what if raced my new car against my dad's, hmmmm
i need to consider that one day

 

Oh yea its the funniest thing my dad just got his custom plates form the DMV, says "BFH"
stands for "Buick From Hell"

 

remind of the song "big pimpin" everytime i see that car... like all ya think about is the ghetto and some dude ridin around with 20" rims boomin his gay rap through his shot out system with his purple suit on and his big pimp hat... oh and dont forget the dimaond studded cain!!

 

I just dont see a turbo buick being a pimpin car, now if it was a 87 Cutlass or a plain regular regal then maybee

 

Sorry I just had to jump in on this. You people are being so stereotypical of the 70's or your Ghetto is different from the one I drive through. Our Pimps drive Mercedes (SUV's and cars) BMW's and Escalades (sp). The regular Ghetto Doods are pimpin rice real hard. Where do you think all these Wiggas came from? They are tryin' to be "HARD" 20"inc rims on a lowered Honda.

 

hey 1991tealRSt-topGuy where in NJ u from becuz thers a pontiac/buick/gmc dealer ship right up the street from me in Greenbrook.



also thats a great look and fast car. thers a guy up here in nj who has a GN t-type and im not sure but i think he has a nother GN but i think it was not turbo car but he put the same setup as his GN t-type on the reguler GN and both look good.

 

ok 1982chevy im confused, the GN (Grand National) and T-Type(Turbo T) are two different car, the T-Type having a little more speed than the GN but same body type......And i dont understand the set up thing

 

86Bird-My First Car

If my old man came home with a turbo Buick, I'd be shocked
Would your parents consider adopting me ??????
Be very thankful that your dad is cool enough to own a piece of heaven.

 

I never thought my dad was "not cool", i consider him a cool dad, and has a good choice of cars, the Turbo T is his toy car, his buisness work car is a 98 supercharged Regal, before that was a R/T Intrepid, so he has decent taste in cars. This weekend he's gonna let me drive the T on a popular strip where every one hangs out for fun, but the terms are he's gonna be the passenger,and after i had my little fun he's gonna make me switch seats. i guess its better to drive than not drive it at all.

 

dude thats a bad car, my brother-in-law has a 87 GN and we embarrased a vette on the interstate. Is it me or does that front bumper look funny? were they all like that?

 

And this has to do with Thirdgens?

 

IROC, the limited had the chrome option, thats what u see on the bumber, the grill was from the GN

 

And Jobryan, seriously that aviatar is freaking me out, that constant blinking could cause seizures

 

Guess you guys never saw a stock, off the dealers showroom floor, dual quad De Soto vintage 1958 did ya.......Kind reminds me of that...........

 

Hey what brand is that crushed, dirty air cleaner..................

 

what i ment with the whole set up shindig was that the guy put the same set up as the t-type GN on a non turboed GN and he did it becuz his son wanted it just like the t-type becuz of the power. hope that cleared it abit.

 

I dont care what anyone thinks that car kicks @$$! Well I would still rather have it in this order if I had to pick between the three.


1 89 Formula Firebird
2 Grand National
3 That Buick

 

That air filter is Holley, my dad replaced that with a conical K&N, and he got the latest design one cause instead of there being a chrome looking plate at the end of the conical, there is a swirl filter type at the end, like the extreme lid for the TBI filters, just sized to fit the conical, looks great !

 

1982, I guess I still don't know what you're talkin about. All GN's are turbo V6's. There is no such thing as a non-turbo GN!

 

:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

 

I see bad91gta and rebird sees the true potential in that car

 

Ughhh... nobody says they dont have potential! DOH! I've personally seen GN's run 9s at the local track! Yes they're very POTENT performers! But they're NOT beautiful like some people in this thread say. It looks like an old grandpa's car!! It doesn't resemble a SPORTS CAR at all.

Anybody can put a fast engine in a bad looking car. I guess Buick did that back in the 80s and there's the result. The GN! Yipeee...
