Wow! Haven't seen that car in a while! I was just talking about it and showing some pictures to somebody that had never seen a "Grand National" in any other color than black. How long have you had it?

I bought it from Bill last May. Me and my son put more miles on it from May until November than you, Bill and the guy Bill bought it off of. It's changed a bit since you had it. Bill and the other guy did some work. I only replaced the rear main seal and a couple of cosmetic things. I'm gathering parts now to dial it in mechanically and some do some detailing.

Last but not least I'll get that Maaco paint job redone.

That's great. Glad to hear it is being taken care of. It was definitely a fun car that surprised a lot of people. I ended up with another car very similar to that one except with cloth interior and analog dash. Same color and landau top too. I ended up selling that one to a fellow in Chicago and got another nice road trip out of that one.

I have the one with cloth and analog dash. I saw the leather seat one just like it and I thought I gave never seen a laundau top t top caoch light car before and you had two!

I am wondering did you do the mods to the car or did you purchase it with them? I am wondering about the fuel pump, I was planning on dropping the tank to make sure but if you can verify that it was replaced it would save me some work,Thanks

Oh! They look so similar from the outside! It already had the gauges in it and the transmission had been gone through. I think I put a 3.5" downpipe and dual 2.5" stainless exhaust on that one. Also it seems like I did the accufab adjustable regulator, Walbro 340, and a few other things.

I've had so many of them, it is hard to remember which car got what. If it has an Accufab regulator, you can bet I have already replaced the pump. Any time I get a turbo Buick, the first think I do is address the fuel system.

I don't think I put a hotwire kit on that one, because as usual it took about 4 months for it to show up. I am currently waiting on 2 kits from Full Throttle for going on 3 months now. I can't remember if I got around to putting the translator, chip, and injectors in it yet.
