New Turbo Buick Member in Austin, Texas saying Hello

[sy2030]

Hello Members and Veterans,

I've admired the Turbo Buicks since High School. Actually, fell in love with them and their rival...Foxbody Mustangs. Bought my first GN one year ago... A 65k mile, 87 with electric moonroof and several upgrades. Then I happened upon a 75k mile, white 87 Base Regal Turbo T, Hardtop with gray interior, in stock trim. Then I came across a parts 87 GN and then another 87 GN and then an 86 GN. One year into my coveted dream breed and I have 5 Turbo Buicks. My friends and coworkers think I've lost my marbles, but I know that you all can relate to my passion, or sickness...

Regardless.... Happy New Year!

Well, phoneguy, a hoarder wouldn't sell you a tensioner would he?..... I'll look through my "hoard" ;-) and see if I have one I can part with.

I'll try to get some pics posted soon.

The 86 GN and 87 T are both currently listed on CL Austin, Dallas & Houston. Christmas was great for those around me...but I've got to let a couple go to new homes. My phone number is listed on the CL ads if anyone is interested or knows anyone who is interested, text me.

I hate letting any of them go...but family has to come somewhere between 1st n 2nd, or 3rd. You know what I mean!

Thanks for welcome greetings. I can feel the love already.

Cool....looks like you have your hands full with Turbo Regals

We were in Austin last year and ate at a place called Foreign & Domestic....I couldnt find anything on the menu that I would eat !! They had all kinds of whacky dishes their and some crappy canned beer. Then we found this Mexican restaurant ( Curras Grille ? ) that was incredible.

I'm sorry I joined the sight so late Bryan.... I could have directed you to a quality Tex-Mex establishment. If in Austin again.... Chuy's is a safe bet! And there are several in Austin, so one is a few minutes away from any location in Austin. The "Eye Candy" is typically as fulfilling as the food!!!!

I like the stance on the cc1 Gn.

Thanks, I am looking for something around $85.00 or so, otherwise a new billet unit will be the way to go.
