That is a testament to how good that buick made 3.8 LTR V6 is. After a new fuel pump , it started right up after sitting for more than a dozen years!

@ДжиперКриперс Ай бұрын

I had a Buick, a 1993 Skylark, the engine was great, but the automatic transmission broke down often, so in Russia we could have bought a new Priora.

If you had one of these in the early 2000s in Estonia. It would attract a lot of attention. I'm sure this vehicle would tell a lot of tales if it could. At least you saved it from being crushed or dismantled by some greedy scrap merchant.

@hunterchartrand6646 Ай бұрын

First a Grand Prix, now a Bonneville from the same era, nice, thanks for giving these cars one last breath of life, Pontiac was a staple of my childhood, and the American automotive industry. That car could easily be put back on the road with some TLC, at least as a winter beater.

@volktales7005 Ай бұрын

Those GM's from that era ate fuel pumps all the time. Probably what took it off the road. Headliners falling down was also standard equipment. Amazing one made it all the way to Estonia!

She's really clean for sitting that long, I was expecting that tank to be unusable! I love little 80s and 90s cars like this!

Back in '98, I had a white '86 Olds Delta 88, front-wheel drive. It looked small on the outside, as I had never driven one of these "down-sized" cars. I didn't expect much..but was pleasantly surprised! One thing that winter in Chicago, the streets were still unplowed, but THAT CAR was the only one able to navigate the sniw that came up just past the rocker panels. What an Awesome lil car! And even the inrerior was quite roomy..I"d sure buy another one, I miss those cars. Now I have a '98 Linvoln Towncar. Nice, but not quite the same, as I miss the cloth interior, and such a lrge-feeling small car, and quite "spirited! 👍

Да уж... Классический американец, это вообще отдельная песня. Не сравнить ни с Европой, ни с Японией. Свой неповторимый шик, комфорт, надёжность . Но, к сожалению, в Европе дорого обходится эксплуатация, обслуживание, ремонт. Как игрушку для взрослого мужчины, ещё позволить можно. Но каждодневная эксплуатация такого классика оставит без трусов. Так что, будем продолжать ездить на европейском автопроме.😊 Мужики - красавцы, заведут всё.

Makes me miss my 1990. I drove it all the way up to 351,697 miles before the subframe rusted out. It was a great car. It makes me wonder about this ones history though. It is indeed an 87 model indicated by lack of "Bonneville" badges on the front doors. But it has the 3800 V6 as opposed to the "Red Dot" 3.8L V6, which had many differences. I wonder if a newer engine was swapped in at one point or if European sales got the 3800 V6 first? The 3800 was introduced in 1988 models here in the U.S.A.

A 3800 will run poorly for 200,000 miles longer than the first 100,000 it ran well. It's just a shame GM can't keep a frame from rusting beyond 8 years when the series 2 was in production, otherwise these cars are capable of outlasting Camrys.
