They were quite a car. Pretty powerful for a V6, especially with a turbo. I smoked a few tires "road testing them. As we all did with the "hot" cars. LOL But 2 guys lost their jobs racing them in the yard. They were on an intersecting course and one T-boned the other. They totaled both GNs and they were escorted out an hour later.

This was the same day I loaded 7 GNs and a red T-type Regal with a V6 Turbo in it. My buddy, that started at Anchor the same day as I did, loaded 8 GNs which we delivered the same day up Revere, Ma just outside of Boston. Boston. That Buick dealer couldn't believe 15 GNs and the Turbo Regal came in all on the same day. And all this was before they were allowed to be sold to the public.
No way! My parents lived in Revere for a while until I was born. We moved to Wakefield a little over a year later. I used to go to all the local dealers as a kid with my Dad looking at all the new cars.

What was the name of the dealer? Seacrest?
