Have you heard about the "TWINS"?
« on: April 12, 2017, 09:19:52 PM »
Saw this recently on Fox News and then tracked it down to a TurboBuick.com website.  Very interesting.  We're not the only ones dedicated to our Buicks!!   :thumbsup:

Cute! But too "immature" . . . . (Re: Have you heard about the "TWINS"?)

Dear Chuck and Buick lovers (but preferably of mature variety!)  :love4:

Saw this recently on Fox News and then tracked it down to a TurboBuick.com website.  Very interesting.  We're not the only ones dedicated to our Buicks!!

Thanks for sharing!  The Buick Grand National crowd is just as devoted to their Buicks as we are to ours.  It is an amazing find to find two cars in great shape like that.  Still they are only 30 years old.  1995 was a bad and good year for my trusty wagon.  The bad news was that she was in a modest traffic accident, the good news was that became an excuse to repaint her!  She had been to San Diego the previous year and would return with me in 1996 and stay there until 2001.  So at 30 she was still just a hard working daily driver.  I don't think there are many 1987 Buick Grand Nationals working that hard today!

Thanks for the memories!

Cheers, Edouard

Yeah I seen that a few days ago .   Thats why sometimes its hard to put a price tag on things , it only takes 1 guy with $$$$$ that wants it bad enough .
It is pretty cool that the VIN numbers are consecutive though .

More on The Twins.....Hagerty wrote a piece on the cars and their values.  Interesting read:  https://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/Articles/2017/04/13/grand-national-barn-find?utm_source=MagnetMail&utm_medium=email&utm_term=cerescobra@gmail.com&utm_content=17-Hagerty%20Weekly%20News%2004-19&utm_campaign=Barn%20Find%20Hunter%20Ep%2E%201%2C%20Twin%20Grand%20National%20barn%20find%2C%20and%20Ferrari%20ownership%20isn%27t%20for%20everyone

Of course, we all know that it is not uncommon for classic Buick owners to invest more in their cars than their market values, right??   :BangHead:
