[@AutotopiaLA]

Come join us LIVE on Revved Up every Monday at 5 pm (pst) with cool guests

[@jimsworthow531]

have a 1989 turbo trans all original with 6kmiles, yes 6000 miles documented; will trade or sell for a minty GN or GNX. I am in PA. I have had many Buick turbos and looking for a change. My car comes with the original Goodyear gator back tires with OEM wheels that are like new. the car sits on a set of newer Goodyear z rated tires 17 inch Budnik wheels made in USA

[@mattspontiacta]

Very cool episode of the Buick GN s ripping up the asphalt!!!!

[@minnesotatomcat]

There’s so many vehicles that went in and out of style over the years but those things have always been a popular body style. I’m not even a gm guy but I’d love an original gnx 👍

[@AutotopiaLA]

They are and have always been cool

[@fedupgamer9075]

That Roadster Shop GN is by far my favorite of any GN profiled on your channel to date.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Agreed. Such a stellar build

[@wrighty338]

The roadster shop build was god tier i watched that one a couple times, Literally one of the best restomod builds iv ever seen because it looks like a brand new 80's car! The style of the plug + play system was at the forefront here being so different to what we are used to with the motorsport digital dashboards

[@Orr_s]

My uncle had an all Original, mint 86 Grand National with pretty low miles that he had to sell very, very cheap when he came upon some hard times. It was his pride and joy. If i wasnt so young at the time and just about 5 yrs or so older i would have bought that car from him in a second. Always one of my favorites, i can remember him taking me for rides in it around 10-14 yrs old and my head being pinned to the seat. Probably what instilled in me my love for American muscle cars now at age 32

[@JaysRandomnessChannel]

I love the stance of the second GN. Forward rake is everything with old school muscle!

[@AutotopiaLA]

And it gets after it!

[@davegerrard6857]

Love all of these GNs but that Roadster build is just TOP NOTCH! Definitely my Fav!

[@AutotopiaLA]

My fav too

[@minnesotatomcat]

Your face in Frankie’s car was priceless, it just kinda shut you down for a sec 🤣

[@AutotopiaLA]

Pretty funny stuff! Freaked me out in a good way

[@jayweiss4378]

Reminds me of the Training Day movie car a little👍🏻 That was a Chevy Monte Carlo

[@bluoval3481]

The way Sean described the blood flow to the back of the head during hard acceleration toward the brink of potentially passing out is real. My buddy power braked his Rivian R1T (close to 1,000hp EV) and I honestly felt like I was going to pass out from the incredible AWD acceleration. That's the most HP I've ever experienced firsthand in a vehicle.

[@js4887]

Gbody cars are awesome I have a 83 custom hurstolds that I try to drive in the summer months its enjoyable when you put your own custom touches on them

[@crodrc51able]

It’s your Buick. Do what you want with it, as long as you keep it ‘Murican. 👍🇺🇸💪🦅

[@1972jwalk]

I have an 87 GN and will never replace my 3.8 turbo , that being said just because I feel that way doesn't mean I dislike any of the builds in this video the Rod shop's car is a total home run and really everyone's build on here is we all can't like the same thing if that was the case we couldn't find our own vehicle in a parking lot . One thing is true seems that the G body is more popular than ever and maybe we all can agree on that !!!!!!!

[@I-Teee]

Fitting video: I just put my GN down for the winter today. Fresh gas, Sta-Bil, wash, and covered in the garage. Awesome closing to this day….thank you.

[@christophwilhelm6431]

The ultimate notchback

[@duanesgarage6294]

There’s more to gbodys then just grand nationals. A platform just starting to get real respect in the car world. Possibly the last full frame cars built. Love my Malibu.

[@AutotopiaLA]

That’s the truth!

[@mortem-tyrannis]

Love the roadster shops Gbody with the V8 its a beast, just not big fan of the wheeles but to each their own. Edit: ok i love the roadster shops build but frankies ride is like damn, thats where its at.

[@franciscosanchez2801]

I don’t care what you do to these cars to make them cooler and faster. I’ve had one for 26 years now and I loved every single one in this video. 💯

[@walter9724]

That first one is one of my favorite buicks. Looka killer and can do a staunch burnout

[@yeethers]

G body is such a cool body style. I always wanted one

[@დავითიკუჭუაშვილი]

I love G BODY...But 1600 hp Twin Turbo Buick Grand National Custom Built by Roadster Shop This is phenomenal project 💙Every little detail on the car Custom And tastefully done. I love this car!. It's a bomb It's very cool

[@scarfa21]

A v8 doesn't belong in a GN, if you want a V8 go buy a Chevelle or some shit.

[@weekendwarrior556]

Love the t types and grand nationals. Were such great cars to modify

[@ericswires8534]

Shawn, people didn’t complain about mismatching engines back in the day because these old cars were so cheap it didn’t really matter. Now they have skyrocket into the stratosphere on price so people are far more particular on keeping them true to the heritage.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I see how that plays in but I still love well built hotrods and have no brand preference

[@tomdieck4667]

if you got the money do what you want. most people complaining will NEVER have a car worth speaking of.. stock built or modified is all good.

[@lukiw7044]

First one was sick, but with those tiny brakes it is dangerous to drive and stop this amount of power. Great episode. Greetings

[@kanervatie]

Love the G-bodies. I don't even have a favorite.

[@kanervatie]

...2dr Malibu, Monte Carlo, GN. That would be it.

[@DJHEX85]

What a shame you didn't tribute the blue turbo T. He was one of 1st G bodys on ur show and has one of the sickest G body's around

[@AutotopiaLA]

We couldn’t hit em all. Sorry for missing that one

[@tyobsxura4360]

Shout out to Jerry, Rafael & Jeremy. Been inspired by their cars for years. Finally got my own 87 T earlier this year. Cant wait to build a rocket like them 🔥😮‍💨

[@AutotopiaLA]

Jeremy is a mad scientist!

[@johnboydTx]

I'm an old man 😂 1961 several 1964 and 1966 skylarks and a few 70 - 72 skylarks with Duece and a Quarter and LeSaber drivetrains 🍻.. Those were the days 😊.. Texas is too close to Mexico for a G Body 🤷 !!!! That column was easy 😔🤔.. Great Episode 👏👏👏✌️🤠

[@LuisBlanco-cn4zw]

All are BAD ASS!!! But Franks’s ride is hands down a man gasm ride. 💯 💯!!!

[@mortem-tyrannis]

Im the same way with the engine topic, yeah you can do over 1k hp with the V6 and power is power is power. That said it sounds like a kittens meow compared to the V8 roar, personally i don't want a V6 in anything unless im trying to have better mpg.

[@bradpoursartip2940]

I would never put a v8 in my 87 t-type when I could potentially put down over 500 hp with an over 30 year old v6,I don't need anymore for a daily driver

[@mortem-tyrannis]

@@bradpoursartip2940 that's your choice if you don't want to, not the way I'd go even if it is the same power 500hp for example I'd still prefer the V8.

[@atamagashock]

Open the exhaust on a GN and it’s one of the best sounding burnouts you’ll ever hear and one that you know without even seeing it

[@mortem-tyrannis]

@@atamagashock what about just cruising around? The sound I mean.

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

I love hot roddng, whatever the car, whatever the motor. COOL IS COOL!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Same for me

[@atamagashock]

I appreciate this video. The GN has long been one of the best burnout machines. There’s just nothing like a true 109 block single turbo but out

[@SWFabrication.]

What an awesome episode. Gotta say Frankies G it makes my nether regions grow, it is just perfect in every way. Lookin forward to the next.

[@jam4760]

Sweet auto!!!!

Totally awesome video my brother we love you and everybody loves GNs so thank you for doing this buddy.

[@b_for_brett]

I wish these cars were brought to Australia, such badass looking mothers

[@AutotopiaLA]

I’ve always loved these

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

G's for life! 👍👍

[@dareksiewruk2240]

Awesome video.

[@falcon0351]

The Buicks just look good..The roadster shop one is my favourite💪 Love this channel Shaun..always excited to watch..2023 has been a great year,keep up your fantastic work/you and the team do outstanding work

[@jerryhayden8720]

Awesome video as usual. All fantastic car's but a little into Franky's car I had to run the video back & go to headphones. That car is the boss. I know it took mega bucks to build but I'm fine getting to experience other's major investments because I sorta got to ride in it without getting heart palpitations. Thanks for bringing us videos of these amazing machines. You Rock.👍😎

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thank you. And he just tore it apart…new chassis and IRS. Gonna be even more evil

[@jerryhayden8720]

@@AutotopiaLA wow I won't try to imagine because I would come up short I'm sure. The people that build these machines go way beyond the everyday mechanic not to take away from the mechanic but these builders are absolutely no doubt Engineer's. It will be fun to see the marvelous results in the Report you'll do showing the upgrades, thank very much.👍

[@neilwesley3516]

Another awesome video Mr. Shaun, thank you. 👏👍😊

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thank you

[@maximusvonce1381]

Frankys car sounds one of the best i have ever seen on You Tube. Supercharged V8

[@AutotopiaLA]

Sounds like a nascar to me

[@jwelshdesign]

Best video on the channel!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@timmygiles9554]

I love them all,but for a street mob boss Frankie,Frankie,and Frankie has what is the ultimate hot rod. No joke about it. Pure can’t come even close to the disaster it would be to jump on that car. I can feel the power just watching that thing. I mean no disrespect to anyone,I love them all. That car is 💯!!! Like the old -ick joke this thing would make you cry. Good stuff big man!!

[@ericbowman7834]

One of my favorite episodes!

[@bradelford363]

That RS build is my fav!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Same here

[@BentleyGT10]

Frankie’s action put the ‘I’m shitting in my pants right now’ face on Shawn, haha! Brill!

[@markedebevoise3300]

The one in the end sounds really nice, I've always loved the gn/gnx 😎🤘

[@vintage-genes]

Sequential or manual all day🙌🏾!

[@krisi.2011]

There's no shop like the roadster shop absolutely insane capabilities

[@RAMSRT500]

I'd love to have the roadster shop to build me a G-nash clone with a built 2jz.

[@jeancharlesrabaux5658]

Le v6 est un super moteur faut bien le préparer c est tout 👍

[@stevenlowe7219]

This was awesome 💯💯

[@xDPx-zh7vr]

"smiles per gallon" sums up what being a car guy is all about. At one point I added up the MPG of the 5 cars I owned at the time and it didn't even total 1 Prius. And I couldn't care less. SPG😊😊😊

[@OvercookedTorta]

Bro what is that gear ratio lol 4:05 He did a whole pull without even shifting

[@AutotopiaLA]

Good question

[@turbosammy6085]

AWESOME!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Shawn you made the very best Buick G-Body’s Video’s there is Period!!! 😎🤙

[@jb2oldies69]

Hell yeah 👍

[@AutotopiaLA]

Fun video with crazy builds!

[@ryanscott9625]

No matter how biased anyone is on brand of vehicles, the one that would bring everyone together is a grand national

[@travisalbritton605]

It's just one bad ass G body. Last two are absolutely nasty

[@elijahinky]

My old man had a nice G Body. It was just a small block Regal though.

[@jeremyalbert2069]

the g body shuffle!!!

[@DanR-hn2dn]

That Buick had Shawn roaring like Chewbacca!

[@thehawk05]

I heard all that engine swap hater talk back in 2003 when I 5.0 swapped my ‘87 T-Bird Turbo Coupe. All the 2.3 purists were raking me over the coals for “ruining” my car on the T-Bird forums (notably the T-BIrd NATO group). Yeah, I coulda built the 2.3 turbo and made some good power but it was never going to make the low end torque my current engine makes and it sure wasn’t going to make that noise that the V8 makes……two big factors that make the car so much fun and smile inducing to drive. Still catch flack every now and then today from the 2.3 purists but I get far more positive feedback when the normal car folks crowd see/hear it today. Most common response: “That’s what Ford should’ve put in those cars”

[@AutotopiaLA]

Love it! I just don’t understand the purist approach to cars in the slightest

[@thehawk05]

@@AutotopiaLA I understand it. What I don’t understand is dumping all over someone who wants to modify THEIR car to build their vision. It’s what makes the car hobby so great IMHO…..you can make your car unique and built to suit your needs/wants. And like I told all the haters back when I did my swap…..you guys should be happy because now I just made your car that much rarer by “ruining” mine 🤣

[@czechu01]

I mean, you didn't even had to comment on any of those cars, your face expressions said it all 😂

[@mikespadave9569]

Sounds great 👍

[@catfishcorner7116]

Another epic episode damm all of the Gbodies were gangster but my favorite is the Roadster Shop GN!👀💯🐟

[@ericpoindexter6333]

Great video!

[@andrewbarber2054]

Love this !!!

[@Jpmpmpm]

A Dream car definily

[@eddychinchilla4549]

My GNX has been sitting in the garage for more that 24 years!

[@cfmechanic]

G body's are great but my real love is for their older brother the b body, the whole style started with the 77 caprice first of the downsized chevys boxy cars.

[@EdMiF]

That tire squeel at 17:00 😮

[@msk3905]

I’m a huge Mustang fan but these as so many said still look badass today, huge GN fan but love the T Types just as much. That roadster shop one wow just wow but I struggle with why you would put 1,600HP in a street, yes bragging rights but you’ll never get to use it much if at all.

[@stevenlowe7219]

Love the intro music 💯💙

[@mike4fo]

Something about a v8 that sounds so much better then the v6. But all are badass

[@AutotopiaLA]

Same thoughts for me

[@dippinfreshmedia]

Timeless design Timeless car

[@walter9724]

Love a turbo but that lag is what gets me. I love my harrop superchargers. Instant power. The sound of a buick turbo is cool though.

[@TheTheboomwearcompan]

Tuning in from Buffalo, New York.

[@TheTheboomwearcompan]

Cool video with cool custom cars.

That roadster shop and grey T Type wow just wow but I struggle with why you would put over 1,000HP in a street car (1,600HP has to be wasted money) yes gives you bragging rights but you’ll never get to use it much if at all.

Shufflin!!!

[@kurtiscurtis8102]

I can’t believe the gm didn’t use a v8 single turbo just like ether eco boost should’ve been a v8 to but the roadster shop car might just be the best car ever built point blank

[@AutotopiaLA]

RS kills it on their builds

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

I don't remember if it was on this channel but a guy took a blackmore carlo SS and put the grand national engine in it the car was a 1st class job myself I loved it I love g body's I have a 88SS but when G.M. built the monte carlo it was a great looking car but so disappointing to drive they put the weakest drive train you could put in a car mine ran and drove perfect with 77000 miles on it I pulled the engine and Trans out and stuffed a big block 427 0.60 over so a 439 with all good parts a howsrds rollet cam afr heads forged crank good rods 11 to 1 compression that runs on pump gas I wanted. To build a car that could run a 9.90 and still have power steering and power brakes and air conditioning and be able to drive the car anywhere. I would put it on E85 but they don't have it at the gas stations where I live the closest is over 20 miles away.

[@drh-ov7eq]

Frankie's was the baddest in my opinion Sean 👍You looked scared shit less 😂

[@tkblade7230]

@autotopiaLA Dig the content. Kinda off topic. What model Oakley’s is Shawn wearing riding with Jeremy?

[@bfraumeni]

All great great cars, but something about keeping the v6 in these though..

[@1godgodgodgodgod]

Franks (p2) is freaking absurd!

[@stevennewman8276]

So what trans is in the car Jeremy was driving?

[@AutotopiaLA]

There’s 2 Jeremy’s in this video lol and you’d have to watch the video on the car cause I honestly can’t remember
