Everything has sold except #3 (Crash Estimating Guide) and #9 (GM Dealer Service Bulletin for the GNX). I guess I must have priced everything too low!?

 

[Boost231]

i will take #9

 

[sumnerw]

Everything is gone except for except #3 (Crash Estimating Guide). I do have some old GMHTP issues (like March 99 "Buicks that Fly" in mint condition) and other collectables posted in the diecast and collectables forum.

Thanks to everyone for their business.

More GN Books and Manuals

I found 15 old issues of Boost Magazine covering Feb-96 through Apr/May-97. This was published by the Buick Grand National Racing Association until Sep-96 and by Integrated Publications thereafter. They were pretty much exclusively devoted to the Buick turbo V-6 until Feb-97 when other cars started to creep into it (like the supercharged 3800). These are loaded with technical columns, event reports, featured cars, owner builds, etc. Even the ads are fun to read.

$10 each plus shipping of $5.00 anywhere in the US regardless of number purchased. I don't ship internationally.

Payment sent thanks.

Boostt76,

Thanks for the prompt payment. I was able to combine the three Boost magazines with your Buicks That Fly so no additional shipping costs were needed so I refunded the $5 back to you. Same tracking number as before for the combined shipment. Should go out to you on Monday.

Thanks,

From July-1996 through July-1998, the magazine was called just "High-Tech Performance". Beginning with September-1998, it was called "GM High-Tech Performance".

All issues are in excellent condition. All are $10 plus shipping EXCEPT May-2000 which was the "Big Bad Buicks..." issue with a GN on the cover. That one is $20 plus shipping.

Please let me know which ones you want and then I'll be able to figure the shipping and shoot you a delivered price.
