I saw the wagon up there but there wasn't anybody around it at the time. That is a mighty piece of machinery.

I was BSing with that red monte guy on Facebook the other day. That sliced up and stretched F-body plenum with the W2A intercooler built in is awesome.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

Yeah he really wants the input shaft and Billet converter from the TR that car is definitely a Worthy home for them....

Wish I could've been there, but it was too much of a drive for me with all of the issues I had on power tour. Would've loved to show off all of the crap I've done to mine haha!

Congrats on your trophy!

It is wild to me seeing a healthy number of really legit turbo builds and truly nice-ass 3800 cars all in one place like this in 2022. Why didn't we go to more of these...

Here's a little halfass walk-around of the minty blazer

Blue shirt and straw hat is the owner in case that wasn't really obvious.

Doesn't that blazer run 9's in the 1/4?

from what i remember him saying, yup. it's absurd

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

Wonderful I think the word you meant to use was wonderful.

This thing takes claptrap to wonderful new heights

Btw he took home the "I cant believe it made it here!" trophy.

Named so since 4 of the 10 judges said those exact words.

Turbocharged400sbc here's the scrape vid right at the beginning. the rest is nothing so don't waste your time with it - i just didn't wanna figure out how to edit it out

This L67 Malibu is a neat car, he's in one of my FWD GM groups. Total budget build but it's still nicely done. 5 speed swapped too

Yeah, both he and that car have come a long way! I'm so glad it's not John Deere green anymore.

That Blazer was a big reason why I decided to pursue what became my Camaro. I still want to do a sloppy wannabe Sy/Ty like that some day. I love how it get's uglier every time I see it. Yet, it also gets way faster.

I was so much happier when we were all obsessing over these things.

Life was a lot simpler back then.

I also with this equalizer exhaust existed back then. Zooomer could have retired on that alone and not on crypto. ?

I went to the buick club of America meet at the Sheraton in lisle

https://2022meet.buickclub.org/

A Buick in its natural state....

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

99% all original 1910 Buick model 10 fully optioned out with spare tire and Central acetylene system for the lamps and the optional top

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

Buicks and flames....made fer each other...

 

[Mr_Roboto]

It'd be a hard toss up between the Rivi and the Wagon but I'd probably still end up with that Wagon. What a great piece of Americana.

 

[v6buicks]

You gonna be there tomorrow too?
