MrEarl Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 We all like pictures! Sooooo This thread is for posting pictures of YOUR Performance Buicks. Just pictures and a brief description. It will help us all know who has what and sort of put a car to a person so to speak. So let's see them! and who knows, maybe your car will end up featured in a calendar some day.

RiKi5156B Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I gotta tell y’all about a very fun looking 66 Special wagon that was racing here in Oregon bout 20 some years ago. Had a later 455 out of some zillion mile big wagon mildly modded with some mild nitrous going to it. Was always fun to watch cause he would lift the front 2 feet and carry it through first gear. Ran somewhere in low 10s. One day he showed up with a big nitrous kit, first run had the thing scraping the back bumper! In his next run which happened to be me(S/G 71Duster 9.70 dial) I had to give him about half second head start,he launched scraped his back bumper again, I launched and barely got moving and KABOOM!!!!! I saw the crank come out the bottom of his car and he ran over it! What a fireball! I pulled over to my left and eased to the end.I went over to look at his car in the pits and there was total destruction! Next weekend his car was fixed with a stock 71 shortblock for $75 but had lower miles so he figured, good to go. Still in the 10s and still scraping the back bumper. I was impressed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 65 is NICE! What wheels are those; got a white with black vinyl top 65 Riviera, and I am thinking about some wheels similar to these, but more or less in a standard size; nothing crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS66 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) The wheels on the 65 are 17” Cragars. First time ever for me to buy wheels over 15”, but glad I did. I like them on there although I wouldn’t go larger. That’s a great looking Riv! Edited November 8, 2019 by GS66 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garnetkid Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 This is my 1987 Regal with option LC2 and Y56 (T Package). I bought new but did not want a black car so ordered this dark red with the same power train as the GN also wanted the all the stainless moldings. Was our daily driver for 7 years and now has a little over 100thousand Klms on it now, and is still a blast to drive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
