when the old owners had it they had a 383 stroker with nitrous and the 4.10s and they said 11s. It was completely gutted..they bought an interior just to sell the car. The kid that had it before me loved burnouts. The 10 bolt rear end on the car isnt too strong...seeing it was a 6cyl when life started. I blew up the rear end driving to my fathers house so now its kinda slow...because of the stock rear end. But im going to be buying a GN 8 1/2 posi rear end very soon so i can bring it up to the track

thats a damn shame to see a turbo buick without a turbo buick motor. who ever did that to the car should be shot. here is a pic of my GN. Still needs tint and im working on getting the seats redone becuase those seat covers suck.

Looks like it was a regular V6 Regal that got a V8 swap. It doesn't have a TR steering wheel or the tach/boost gauge.

That's not a GN, it's a WH1 T-type... ;-)

pretty good looking regal, the only thing i would add is a 84-85 GN front lower spoiler, they make it look a lot better imo, but it looks nice. Get some track times and have fun once you get the 8.5" posi in there.

Boost 231 thats a gorgeous WH1, always loved em

you are correct. It was a N/A v6 that was swapped over to a v8. I wish i had the money for a TR or GN but im poor and i traded my 97 SHO for this so i feel i made out a bit.

when i looked at the dash it looks like you can see the boost gauge in the bottom corner. also as far as the wheel it looks like it was changed. and with the turbo hood. o well to hard to tell for sure in pics. anyways yes its a WH1 :rockon:

You car looks almost exactly like my 1986 Grand National. I have the
same wheels and everything. The GN motor is really nice but the V8
should get you by. You can always swap out the motor for a GN motor
if you want to when you get the money and the V8 is alot better than
the V6 without the turbo. Good Luck.

Lol, whatever it takes to communicate, CB's are nice to have for the scoop on where cops are at though.
