Tampa, Florida GN Convertible 1 of 2

I have an 87 GN Convertible 1 of 2 made by Coachbuilders in Florida. I currently reside in Tampa. My 87' Convertible was originally purchased from a Florida Buick dealership as a hardtop in 1988 by the original owner. Prior to the original owner taking ownership of the car he requested the Buick Dealership to send the car to CoachBuilders of Florida to have it made into a convertible on a seperate invoice. CoachBuilders only made two powertop convertible Buicks to my knowledge. The first one was a white T-Type (whereabout's Unknown) and my 87 Buick GN which is a GNX clone. The original price to make the car into a power top convertible in 1988 was $10,000.00 which required the entire frame to be reinforced. Now since you have a little past history on this car enjoy the photos.

Note: Due to the size of the photos they have been posted in my yahoo photo album. Please insert the attached link below into your browser to view the pictures.

That convertible is just silly. And I mean that in a GOOD way. Very nice job, and original.

Just want to chime in as a enthusiast!

I live in Umatilla and would like to get involved in some club activities. I don't currently own a Regal/TTA but I am actively looking for a decent project car. I regularly goto local car shows and used to show my Red 1991 Spirit R/T (which I sold last year).

I'll read through as many posts as possible to try to catch with the goings on. If you know of something coming up soon please drop me a line!

Come on down to Orlando on the first Saturday of the month. The location is in this thread here. Click on the homepage link for information on joining. I'm usually there. I know a little about Mopar 2.2/2.5's. I used a lot of their information when I was setting up my Rivieras for drag racing. http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/showthread.php?t=193071
 
Checking in from Orlando as well.

Our current club membership is around 45 from across the state, any Turbo enthusiasts are welcome to come to our first Saturday meetings.
