    So Many Sweet Rides!!

    Congrats to all you guys. I was happy to see so many sweet Buicks in such pristine condition. I was also very jealous of most of the cars above. They make mine look like junk!
    I bought mine in 1987 when I was 19 and haven't bought another street car since! It had a factory four barrel, a/c, speed alert, sonomatic and the black Kenora Cloth interior (anybody have that?). I rebuilt the 350 at 119K with some mods and I drove it until 1995 when she was so rusty that she should have been junked. I was in love and ingorant of what it would cost to bring her back so started the restoration. Then I started circle track racing and put the Buick in storage.
    Since then it has been race cars and work vans until I quit racing in 2002. Then it was time to finish my Buick. After a ten year $20K frame off restoration it's back on the road. I'm not happy with the acceleration but I have to say my brakes are awesome. I put front discs on in '88 but they never worked like they do now. In 2004 I put the raybestos cross drilled and slotted rotors (brutestop) and PGD52R pads and a 1" bore master cyl with synthetic brake fluid and stock drums on the rear and now my Buick stops on a dime! I also like the TH2004r - 3.73 posi combo. I get something like 2200rpm at 70mph

    Future plans are for more power... much more power. Sick power. Passengers must wear diapers kind of power...
