Boy, that must be a real oddity in France!

Yes it is :biggrin:

But my Buick was selled by GM France; some GM's cars was selled in france until mid 80's.

In 90's the only GM's US cars selled in France were the Buick Park Ave, Corvette and somme Cadillac (STS, CTS).
But there is a big community of US cars fan and owner in France :wink:

Now the only we have are this kind of Chevy :

Ex daewoo...not very exciting... and for my own opinion a blasphemy !

[GN HEAD]

Thanks JFKen.....its been with me for about 20 years

 

[BiGBoY]

you should make a web site dedicated to that car !!

 

[GN HEAD]

I think there is a site or two with the 82 1/2 GN on it..... I'm kicking around finding a new home for this car....still not sure.

 

[usetaboost]

Is pretty sweet, I like the 2 tone. Love to afford it, but even if I could I probably wouldnt buy it cause I want another turbo car for a DD and that would end up being it. Hey gn head where u located? I'm in Sioux City. Would you happen to have any extra stuff laying around?

Thanks for the comments, this car will always be special to me, it's one of, if not the first "documented in a book" Turbo 82 Grand National. usetaboost, got plenty of extra stuff....just don't want to sell any of it...LOL. No extra turbo car stuff, at all. Turbo6Smackdown...thank you.

Here's a pic of my 82 Sport Coupe a couple days after I finished restoring it back in '03. I hadn't gotten around to polishing the paint when this was taken.

I bought this car with a NA 3.8 installed & the correct turbo 3.8 in the trunk in Calgary in '98 for $1300...I used it as a daily driver for 3 years before I went right thru it, a process that consumed a couple years & another 4K...

Full load with the Y44 paint option, ordered as a dealer demo by Parson's Pontiac/Buick out of Cowtown. Wish I had more pics on this laptop, I sold the car shortly after this was taken.

One of the nicest driving cars I've ever owned...still regret selling it!

I was just told the other day that it was a "Piece of junk".:frown:

I don't see junk, I see potential.

Since this picture was taken, the interior has been gutted, the front clip removed, the tail lights, bumpers, and rotted plastic inserts removed. All emblems have been removed along with side molding.

The header panel has been restored and completed with 2 newly restored T-Type headlight bezels, and a restored 1982 grille to match the '82 GN. Even the 3.8 litre turbo hood ornament has been restored. The tail lights have been replaced and restored to T-Type colors. All emblems have been replaced and restored. I'm looking into a fender replacement for the driver's side, and I still need a garage to pull the engine and rebuild. Believe it or not, the car only has 27,000 original miles and I got it for free with no rust or rot. Just alot of siezed suspension parts, and bolts from sitting for so long. (The multiple hornets nests were free too!)

hell that thing is a gem compared to my piece of sh!t out in the garage. Check out this mechanical @hole
