    It was at http://www.tacm.com/carmuseum/mainpage.htm .
    However, I don't see it on the list of cars now. Anybody know if it's still there?

    So looks like we have a welcome to the BPG event.

    Votes are as follows:

    1 for BG
    1 for BPG
    1 for Norwalk

    1 for either BG or BPG
    I would travel to any of them.

    That's only 5 so far. I'll bet Michael will join in and I will send note to all that have signed up to the registry.

    I would prefer BG as time off work gets hectic these days. I am sure we are welcomed there as well. Let's see what everyone else says. I would love to see 15 plus Suncoupes lined up ! ! !

    I would love to try to make it happen. Got just a stock SunCoupe 350 2bbl with a bench seat. I have to agree with a couple of the other guys/gals that Bowing Green would be easier for me as well. I would have to come up from Savannah, GA. I have so may questions about my Buick, and it looks like I'm in the right crowd. Let me know and keep me posted.

    Dave,

    How long have you owned your Suncoupe ?

    If for a while now, are you the Army person that I flagged down on I95 at exit 94 (Rt 204) ?


    Needless to say, welcome to the board here. I feel pretty confident that we can get you quite a bit of info on these cars. Unserdog350 has a registry of Suncoupes and used to have a very nice information package that he would supply to us owners when registering for very little cost.


    Stay in touch here,
    Mike

    So if I were to try to go to BG when should I set my vacation for or should I just believe the GSCA that they will not change the dates next year:(

    John ,
    the GSCA did not change the dates. Dallas, bumped us for the NHRA . It couldn't be helped.

    So BG and the GSCA did not have a contract? Either way I was screwed out of attending as I had to work 3 of the days and was off on vacation the days it was originally scheduled. While I understand the deal I did not like it. Sorry but I really missed my BG fix this year.

    Guys! I just searched my old fotos and found these pix of my Sun Coupes from over 15 years ago. :TU: They are not the best quality pix, nevertheless,. . .the RED SC was sold soon after I restored it. The white SC is still in my possession. IF this economy ever changes, I'd like to restore it. :pray: I am second owner, bought it from original owner in '89 with 88000 miles! :Brow:

    SHARE YOUR PIX!!!!

    Love that pic with the white car up front and the red in back!

    I'm the second owner of mine as well. Started as Flame Orange/white/white.
    Here's mine as it sits right now. Still working on the top recover, and getting the cable guides made, etc., etc. :Dou:

    If anyone is interested in my progress. I suffered a re injury to my rotator cuff in my left shoulder this summer. That combined with the change of dates for the NATS combined to make it virtually impossible for me to get my car ready.
    Since then I have contracted Then and Now and they now have my car and will be getting started soon. It still needs some wiring help with the power windows, locks and the full interior install. There is a little paint repair where I had to remove the fenders to install the rubber flaps left off the NOS inners by the A body specialist "restoration" shop:Dou:
    Anyway I expect that it is in the right hands to get it done in time for the upcoming show season.

    +1

    Oh @#$%! That IS just 6 months!

    -1

    Having messed up both rotators at one time or another, I fully understand you not being able to work on the car.
    With the car now at T&N, it'll put the rest of us to shame at this Reunion. :shock:

    Not to worry, most of the work was done locally T&N is just trying to fix some stuff and finish assembly. I am now wishing I had sent it there originally but the budget did not allow that. Mark says 2 weeks or so to finish the car but hes yet to get started.
