Not enough Buicks!!

Post by Alibi »

...so its time to post some pics of mine :)

My '89 T Type, has 200k on the chassis, 65k on the engine, and 150k on the transmission. It needs some loving though.... I'm going to paint it this summer, replace the fenders, get a new front air dam, install a rear spoiler (stock reproduction), etc.

Bad aftermarket rims (getting replaced with powedercoated black bonnie cross laces this summer)

I has a flowmaster :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

My '88 T Type. Has 165k miles on it and its seen better days. Its a repaint, has a knock in the motor when its cold, leaks from the firewall, lost my door/trunk key, could use new struts, etc. I like it, but I think I may get rid of next year and look at either a Fiero or 98-99 SSEI (a Pontiac in either case).

BLT's are actually pretty rare. Only made from 87-89 with about 16,000 for all three years combined. There was a LeSabre Grand National that came before the BLT thats even rarer: Only 219.

Peter has one (88T-FL) and he lives in Florida... somewhere. I don't remember where off the top of my head but I'm sure I could find out. I doubt he's been driving it but your statistical chances of seeeing one are pretty good compared to most if Peter is out and about :P The paint is faded and it needs some loving but hes going to slowly restore it.

A mint LGN sold for about 10 grand last month.

Peter is the guy with the www.lesabret-type.com website, BTW. Very knowledgeable guy when it comes to the 85-91 H body. Come to think of it, he has a picture of a prototype coupe version of an Bonnie SSE that looked pretty sweet :)
