Btw for you young fellas that dont know bout grand mas.buick
...... 3.8 v6 intercooled Turbo 245 hp 355 fp torque

Torque monster!!! T types were a grand nat basically, just a slightly less expensive model. I love buicks, had a 65 grand sport 401 nail valve. Wicked torque!!

 

[4cfed]

Yep. If what i read is correct.. this is a we4 package... only 1547 made

 

[mjgnslngr]

Yeah, the we4 was a pretty limited production for the t type. They say the t type was even faster than the Gn. Lighten and quicker than its two bigger bros. Gn, gnx. Good deal man, you scored!!!

The gnx was faster.. under rated at 276hp 360 tq.. i didnt score.. my mom did.. i get to do the work on it.. she wants a louder exhaust so i think we will take the dual flowmasters off an go with a single 3" woth straight threw muffler...

If you don't mind, how much did that set her back?

 

[4cfed]

7200 .

 

[Longview]

Any pic's under the hood?

 

[4cfed]

No not yet.. not much to see lol.. kenne bell intake , polished plenum gn1 valve covers, chrome breathers, and chrome heat shield on the turbo

I love those. I'm not much for American Muscle but I love that body style. My first car was almost an 84 Hurst Cutlas, just like this one 1984 Cutlass Hurst/Olds | Flickr - Photo Sharing! . A family friend was going to let me have it for $2500 but dad thought it wasn't suitable for a 16 year old first car. Looking back, he was right. I totaled the Datsun 210 I did get within 4 months of getting my DL. I'm not glad I don't have destroying the Cutlas on my conscience.
