But those Grand nationals are just so darned ugly! If I had my choice between a super fast Grand National, and an AAR with no drivetrain, I'd take the AAR any day.

Great story! Those buicks are nice and fast cars. I like how they look like but the engine...I mean 6 cly with a turbo in a muscle cars... :dunno: :clueless:
Anyway V8 is much better engine + SIX BBL ofcourse :bigsmile:

That little turbo six was faster than almost every factory V-8 that came out of the entire decade of the 80s.  Which isn't saying much, but there is still a whole lotta potential left in that engine.

Hey

While everyone decides/argues over which car they would take out of the Grand National and AAR I will sneak into your garage and take the Daytona  :biggrin: :burnout:

...the Daytona was purchased from the original owner in 1980.....they were kinda valuable, but not like they would be a few years later.....it had 10K miles on it,  we put in way too much cam and I ran it on the street with open headers and 4.10 gears for about 5 years....way too much noise.....so, most feared it as did my buddy with the GN....later, after I retired it from semi daily driver use, it became a "magazine star"....it was first used in 1987 and appeared in many magazines and books for the last 20 years....it has also been turned into a couple of Daytona toys......but, back in the day, I just drove it like a regular car/hot rod....for a summer, I even used it as a repair/service truck when I repaired drink fountains for Coca Cola USA....I hauled tools and parts in the trunk all the time....it was fun driving the big ugly Dodge

the Daytona, my first T/A and little "Vanished" :roflsmiley:
