Guest my3buicks Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 These cars are underapreciated - I saw this all original example at the car show I was at in Rehoboth this past week. It looks kind of like a mini Grand National.I thought those of you that appreciate these or appreciate Buicks that run below the radar would enjoy seeing this one.

NTX5467 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 ("Looks like a mini-Grand National" . . . until you put your foot in the throttle)They WERE some nice cars, even now. There might have been some turbo 4cyl (Brazilian 2.0L 4 cylinder?) versions, as Pontiac did? All things considered, might make a decent driver in modern times . . . even considering how somewhat unrefined that particular GM platform might have been bach then."Future Collectible"?Just some thoughts,NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BJM Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 ("Looks like a mini-Grand National" . . . until you put your foot in the throttle)"Future Collectible"?Just some thoughts,NTX5467Doubt there are many left to collect. These niche cars should and could be collectible as long as gas stays at $4.00 a gallon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually an awesome little car. Stick shift, although I can't recall if it was a 4 or 5 speed. I used to have a plain jane one a long time ago, and I really liked it.

Aaron65 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 A friend of mine drove one of those in high school...it was pushing 10 years old, and smoked most of the time. It was a Turbo Automatic. From what I remember, it ran neck and neck with my 302 Thunderbird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 68 Buick 3369 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 My best friend in high school had a plane jane 88 Skyhawk, brand new until one night he was driving some friends home from church took a left turn......right off a cliff. He and his friends survived with minor injuries, the car obviously did not. A UPS driver that used to make routine deliveries at my old job had one and he called it a skychicken.
