Dad taught all of us kids to drive a stick in our GT. We also had a Manta Rally that was a blast to drive. Believe it or not, we were able to put our family of five in this (sporty) hopped-up lawn mower (yes, three kids crammed onto the little platform behind the seats). 😊❤😊❤😊

Showing your ignorance of Buicks. Have you never heard of the Gran Sport?
@OpelPower20 күн бұрын
I’m really well versed in Buick history prior to 1975 actually. The GS and later Gran Sport cars are all neat, but they aren’t sporty in my opinion or even close to sports cars at all. They are all luxury boats with admittedly badass engines. Heck even the GNX isn’t a sports car. It’s just the pinnacle of luxury performance sedans… well that’s probably actually a title held by the Lotus Carlton version of the Opel Omega, but they didn’t make enough of those…

We had a neighbor that had two of these. They just sat in his yard rusting away and he refused to sell them. He even had a sign in his yard telling people to not ask if they were for sale. Eventually he died and his family sold them, but by then they were basically beyond repair.

My first car when I was 18 was a 1964 Kadett. Kept it for 40years but in the end it was to much rust. Salty winter road just killed these old Opels in Sweden. Så finally I gave up. Still I have a trike built from Kadett parts, these engines are fantastic. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZWXmmpqj7BlsK8si=1iaqnS6_fGy_lUQF

Back in 1969, I went to the New York Auto Show to see this car. It was gold, 1.9 liter engine and it was hard to get close to the car to get a close look. Lichtenburg Robbins Buick, in Queens, owned this one, and it was for the show only. It was the first one in the country. The salesman walked over to me, as I was staring at it for about two hours, walking around it over and over. He asked if I wanted to sit in it, and I smiled, wryly, and shook my head yes. I sat in it, and he closed the door. Yup! I wanted this car! We talked for awhile, and he said that I would be able to have it after the show and it was the only model, so they needed it in the showroom for a month .. at least. If I remember, it was $2100.00. We talked and finally agreed that I could have it right after the show, and it was back at the dealership. I got the call that it was back in the dealership, so I went with my friend Mike to pick it up. I lived in Brooklyn. When i got there they said that I had to wait a month. I took out cash .. $3400.00, I believe, they prepped it and I drove it home right then and there. Money talks. That car moved. It was a low flying jet. Fishtailed in turns at speed, so I learned to speed shift. I used to go out at daybreak, and get on the Belt Parkway .. out to Long Island .. past Kennedy Airport. Whenever I took that car out, crowds gathered around. Red lights, stop signs, It was hard to go anywhere. Went into Manhattan, and nobody knew what it was. Those were the days ... yes, those were the days.

Sick dude I can’t wait My daily is 2021 taco stock 6 speed is already gnarly; I leave all kinds of fools in the dust. Love your truck. To the V8-obsessed : doing one in these would ruin it. Not necessary and cuts the goober-factor out of equation. Drive one then give your opinion. Again, For my fast AF powerful work truck I just skipped over the V8 & built a monster cummins diesel like a real man. I love both of my trucks the same if that tells you anything both are sick AF. Just sayin.

My first car was 1971 Opel GT. It had modified head valve work and exhaust for increased airflow, dual downdraft carbs, and head milled to max allowable for increased compression. Custom suspension and really wide tires on aluminum Hurricane wheels helped its handling ability. It was very quick for a normally aspirated I4.
