Lol, looks like we've both had our share of Buick muscle. Funny that we both had really similar cars, with only 81 built in '71. I got mine from the original owner, and kept up with it until about 5 years ago. It went to NC, and I lost track. I could buy a truckload of T/A's for what that car would cost today, given it sold for almost $60k back in '98.

My dad drag raced Buicks in the late 50's. He is a lifetime BCA member, and we always had a bunch of Buicks around when I was growing up. I started out in a '57 Century hardtop, but we had a zillion GS cars, a couple early Rivieras with 2x4's, all the way up through the T-type and turbo Regals. At some point I went through a bunch of Camaros but have stuck with mostly Trans Ams ever since. I think it was the '74 Super Duty I got, when I sold the car in the picture- that 455 SD car really did it for me.
