Hello, all! This is my first post on the site. In October 2012, at the Buick GS Nationals, I purchased a roller 1987 Buick Turbo T. The car is from Alabama, and has no rust. The owner had a child on the way, and was willing to negotiate, and because the body was in such good shape, I couldn't resist. I have loved these cars since I was 15, and this is my first turbo Buick . I am aware that these cars can be very complex, and by no means am I a mechanic, so as I build the car I hope to find advice and tips on the forum. I am not looking for a 9 second Buick, or a pro touring car; just a nice, reliable cruiser for the street that I can occasionally take to the track. I am about to graduate from college this spring, so I hope to have more money I can dedicate to it. I look forward to talking to you all! attached is a picture...

Thanks! Yes, I've heard that's how it goes--once you get a taste, you're hooked! :)

Thank you. I'm starting to see more and more turbo buicks, usually where I least expect them!
 
Good to see another one running around c-bus. Welcome aboard!

Thanks for the welcome! Whereabouts are you from?? Unfortunately, she's not out running around yet, as I still need to find an engine and transmission :(
 
Hilliard area. Are you around groveport/obetz? I have a motor apart taking up space if you're interested. Pm me if interested. Clean looking T!
