Sick deal, hopefully it's not 122,xxx miles as those odometers don't have 6 digits. Miss my old GN....

You got me thinking last night... The wife's car is about shot and she's always loved/wanted a GN. It might not make the best DD, but I think I might casually start looking for one that I can fix up or restore. I worked for Buick back when these things were released, boy did we have a good time with these cars! I too have liked them ever since.

Slightly OT... Back in 1986 trapping 115 in a late model car seemed insanely quick. I didn't think we'd see the day where that now seems slow (to me at least)!

Again, nice cars!

I really like the GNX's but there is something about that 89 Trans Am with the turbo motor that really puts a smile on my face! Great looking cars.

congrats on the Turbo T. Super rare car at an insane price. (Nice to know it's now in the hands of someone that will appreciate it.)

I am seriously jealous of your 3.8 turbo collection. They are beautiful.
