My 1987 Buick Grand National. I've been a member for awhile now, I thought I should probably share.
Doesn't look too shabby for a car I've had since I was 17 eh?
I got it from a collector in 1997 in showroom condition with 11,000 original miles on it. Since then I've done my best to keep it that way.
I've had the engine cleaned up a bit, and soon it'll be hitting the body shop for repainting to replace the thin, pathetic coat of black GM sprayed them with originally. GNX flares and matching black wheels, and chrome tips over the new exhaust system will also be added to give it a clean, sinister look.
The interior has a GNX style gauge cluster with VDO Vision gauges, and the upholstery will be redone in high quality leather matching the original color scheme as well as replacing the GM furry headliner with modern woven cloth.

That looks like a nice car.
I must say that out of all the cars I have had including
40 mustangs from boss 302s to 03 cobras
F bodys from 69 camaros to a 2001 ram air
and everthing in between I miss my turbo buicks more than anything.I have had 8 of them over the years and loved every one of them.
Take care of that car and dont ever get rid of it.

It gets compliments whenever I drive it, there's never been anything quite like them since.
