Up for sale is my 1987 GN. The car has t-tops in great shape (inspections welcomed). Currently, @71,000 original miles. The car was repainted and done pretty well. Chip guard on lower panels was done for the factory look. I don't know who painted the car. It came from South Carolina via...

After a long and cold winter here in Chicago, I checked the oil, alky and a few other things before I fired her up for the first time in 2014. However, things didn't go as planned. While checking fluids, the hood cam down on my head. The ole noggin is good but I need to replace the hood...

I have an '86 T-type I bought last year as a daily driver here in Chicago; excluding winters of course. Anyway, the car is far from what I consider nice. Since I have my GN, I'm considering tackling a repaint on my own. The car isn't nice enough for me worry should I mess up. That said, I'd...

I just recently saw this video and the poster didn't state whether the GNX shown was running the track with stock suspension. Anyone know? Here's the video and sorry if it's a repost.

As soon as spring hits, I'd like to get the car detailed. I'm not confident enough that I could do a quality job getting that 'mirror-like' finish on a black car. Anyone in the Chicago area trust anyone with their ride enough to ensure you don't see buffing wheel lines up and down the car on...

I just bought a '86 T-type and noticed that the passenger side brake light assembly is loose. I'm not a body & fender guy so I might not be using the right lingo. The red plastic housing that contains the brake and taillights is loose on the right side. I have no idea how to secure it or know...

I just bought a 1986 T-type as a daily driver. It's far from perfect but that's why I bought it. Here's my issue. The seller mentioned the car was repainted and the side windows were NOT removed. The paint is ok quality but the painter didn't do such a nice job at taping the rubber trim...

Anyone local (Chicagoland area) have a GN/T-type car cover?

Any senior member/GN specialists near Athens, Al to take a look at the following car currently posted on ebay for me...

I need to find someone in the Chicagoland area capable of fixing my rear main seal. Any suggestions are appreciated. FYI-I live on the southwest side of Chicago, just south of Archer and west of Narragansett. Thanks in advance.

Turbo Buick Kin, I just thought I'd share a short massage about my experience with Jimmy's High Performance Transmissions in Mundelein. Back in the late fall, my trans started to wind in 3rd gear; would not shift. After having bought the car last August, the previous owner had Jimmy build a...

I saw this car in person. It looks as bad as the photos. The car runs and idles well without any smoke and all the body panels do not have any significant rust. I thought about making an offer and buying this as a project car. The guy thinks he can get $20k for the car because it has 28K on...

I did not start this thread to get all mushy or appear weak but that's my reality. Tuesday night my 14 1/2 year old Weimaraner named Sterling passed away. He was at home with me and I watched the entire event unfold. Without getting into any of the sad details, I'll just say he was not in any...

Hi everyone, I have a set of MT ET Streets radials that are 275 60R15's. I got them from the previous owner when I bought my car last August. Personally I don't like them; they're too big for my taste. So, if anyone is interested, I'll post some pics. The previous owner told me they have...

For the Chicagoland guys, I just wanted to mentioned a few words about my experience with Jimmy's Transmissions. First, I can see why he comes widely recommended by the other TR guys. He was first class in the treatment of my ride and his explanation of what was needed and why both before and...

I've owned my car for just over three months now and with the help of TurboBuRick and my own driving, I'm getting used to the car and some of the things required by TR owners. I am not a mechanic, never have been but owning these cars can get really expensive if one cares to ensure they operate...

I'm a fairly new TR owner and I must admit I don't read as much as I can. However, the search tool on this site, while decent, still provides way too many pages to sift through after making an inquiry. So...I have a question and please feel free to direct me to the resource material instead of...

Given my set-up listed in my signature, if I add alky control, could it generate 500HP safely without any other modifications? I hope the question doesn't appear too silly.
