    1983 T Type running again

    I finally had a chance to work on the TType. Had it hauled to my shop, cleaned up 14 years worth of leaves and acorns from the engine bay and it started like I parked it yesterday. I am pleasantly surprised at how nominal the actual rust is. Alot of surface, but not much worse than that and...

    GS NATS in BG

    Anyone going to be at the Nats in October since they have been rescheduled? I have to work during the day, but will be out and about town most nights. I almost went to the track last night, then I remembered I don't have a boat.

    Opel Manta

    I found a very straight early 70's Opel Manta. I've been debating pulling the engine out of the ttype and finding something cool to put it in, and I think I may have found it. What do you guys think? I haven't abandoned my 83 yet, just looks very cool and is at least related to Buick...

    My 83 T Project

    I've decided to keep my 83 and see what I can do on a nonexistent budget and odd and end regal parts I've collected over the years. Worst part is the passenger quarter and all of the surface rust:eek: . Not really too bad overall. I've got good floors and misc metal from my old 84 limited...

    What to do with my 83 T?

So, I'm thinking about pulling everything out and scrapping the body except the hood. Drivetrain is out of an 85, so...

    Anyone else ever see the issue of CARtoons with the drawing of an 83 T-Type (It had t-type emblem and was 81 to 83 header panel) roasting the tires in front of a buick dealership. The caption said something like "Musclecars are back and Buick's got 'em!" I used to have the magazine, but...

    What is this torque converter?

    Howdy, When I bought my GN, it had a bad transmission. When I pulled it, the torque converter was not a D5. It only has a small "6" stamped on it in a couple of places. I called the previous owner (not who I bought it from) who insisted it had a B&M 12" lockup with higher stall...etc...

    4.1 L value

    Does anyone have a rough idea of the value of a good running 1984 4.1L w/Q-Jet out of 84 regal limited? This was my mother's car that was wrecked. I have been pirating parts off of it, but have left the engine alone. I have thought about using it, but may sell if someone was interested. Not...
