Greetings Turbo Regal Inner Circle Members - 08-08-2012
REPORT FROM THE 2012 BUICK PERFORMANCE GROUP NATIONALS -
As we noted last week, we attended the 2012 Buick Performance Group Nationals held at the National Trail Raceway in Hebron, Ohio.
Pete Hoffman and I went this year. We also stopped to see Pete Serio the first night for dinner. Pete Serio, as many of you may recall, is better known in Turbo Buick circles as “The Window Rattle Guy.”
I was surprised to see so many of the older Buicks in attendance at this event.
They did have 8 real GNXs present, besides a few unique ones. There was a 1986 Grand National that was done up to resemble a GNX as the prototype and product development. Also another GNX that we will cover next week.
One of the highlights of the event was a presentation by Andrew Filippone Jr., who has been working four years on his Buick Grand National documentary. He showed a 20-minute excerpt from the movie. The movie is scheduled to be available on DVD December 11, 2012, which marks the 25th Anniversary exactly to the day that the very last Grand National came down the assembly line - December 11, 1987. Of course, I'm sure Andrew did not plan it to work out that way when he began his project four years ago. We will be selling his DVD when it becomes available in time for Christmas! I did see bits and pieces of his film and it's quite good and we're looking forward to seeing the whole movie.
The event highlighted Boats of All Buick models and years as well as Buick station wagons of all years. Here is just a sampling:
PHOTO 1 - The top left photo shows a bright red Buick convertible at the event.
The top right photo shows one of the very rare Buick station wagons. The lower left photos shows the unique roof line of this same station wagon. The lower right photo shows the powerful V8 under the hood. You have to really admire anyone that restores any of the big cars from the 1970s, as they must really enjoy the hunt for any of the unique parts they need.
PHOTO 2 - This top photos show a Buick fastback, probably a 1950 vintage. At a quick glance it appears no one wanted to park their car anywhere near this one! The bottom photos show portions of the interior. The seats and console appear to be out of a 1994-1995 Impala (I am guessing on this.) A very solid example with that aged patina exterior look.
I saw very few independent swap meet vendors at this event. However, most of the major vendors were there. One swap meet vendor did have two Turbo Regals for sale. Both would require a major commitment of time and money to restore.
PHOTO 3 - The top left photo shows a 1987 Grand National with badly faded paint and rust issues that was for sale. The top right photo shows a close up of the driver's seat. The sale sign did say it had a good running drivetrain in it.
The bottom left photo shows a complete astroroof assembly that was for sale. Once you see the entire assembly out of the car, you quickly realize just how much weight it adds to the car. You can see the one rear drain hose still attached to it.
The bottom right photo shows a portion of the back end of the other Turbo Regal car that this same vendor had for sale. The rear bumper filler panels are long gone. This vendor also had a large array of parts available spread out on the ground.
PHOTO 4 - This top left photo shows the license tag "GNX NO1." I believe this is the original 1986 Grand National that ASC converted as the prototype GNX test car using a 1986 Grand National.
The top right photo shows the Electronic Touch Climate Control in this same car, which was offered in 1986, and not in 1987
The bottom left photo shows the Grand National trim plate above the glove box that had not yet received the GNX insert.
The bottom right photo shows the heater box and you can see the "TURBO 68" code on the Harrison Heater box label, which identifies with the Electronic Touch Climate Control option. Although you probably can’t read it, the emissions label says "1986" on it as well. This Grand National still had the black interior pull straps. So, in other words, all the unique features still indicate it was a 1986 Grand National.
So, in quick review, what you have here is a very rare GNX based on its history. While one may be urged to make it 100% into a GNX, its real value lies with the fact it was the one that all the other GNX’s eventually were based on.
MORE TO COME NEXT WEEK COVERING THIS EVENT
1969 HURST/OLDS MIRRORS UPDATE -
Since last week's Turbo Regal Inner Circle was sent out, we heard from several readers providing me with more information on these unique 1969 Hurst/Olds exterior mirrors. Turns out that the original ones were made in England.
Hurst also used them that same year on the Hurst/Scrambler, which was the AMC hot car that Hurst modified. One of my sources has even informed me that two different reproductions of this mirror exist. Although they were neat looking, it was difficult to see out of them because of their size. It’s good to see we have such a smart group of readers that can help me fill in the missing pieces of our articles.

URGENT REQUEST - WE NEED STOCK TURBO CORES -

It's important you contact our office first, so we know to expect it - 215-766-1611 x 0
By providing cores, you are helping other owners restore their cars.
NEW PARTS & NEW LINKS -
We now carry the Reproduction GM-style Front and Rear Bumper Filler Panels. Here's our complete description.
1984-1987 Buick Regal (2-Door Models) -
Reproduction GM-STYLE FRONT & REAR BUMPER FILLER PANELS
Over time, these front and rear filler panels deteriorate or crack.
The front body bumper fillers are the flexible parts located between the front bumper and the front portion of the car on either side of the grille opening. Over the years, original front body bumper filler extensions can crack and crumble due to heat and age. They can also lose their shape and droop. The original GM version had 2 pieces; a left and a right.
The rear body bumper fillers are the flexible parts located between the body and the rear bumper, across the back of the car. Over the years, original rear body bumper filler extensions can crack and crumble due to heat and age. They can also lose their shape and droop. The original GM version had 2 pieces; a left and a right.
The factory original GM front and rear body bumper fillers are no longer available.
We can finally offer a quality set of reproduction front and rear fillers which closely copy the original chemical makeup used originally by GM. These look and feel are just like the original GM units, but with a better chemical composition.
The new molds for this project were built off the last GM production runs of the original filler panels. These new panels do not have the pock marks in the fillers and are ready to scuff and paint. These look and feel like the GM originals.
The same size steel is used behind the fillers and, instead of bare metal that rusts quickly, these are black EDP coated to resist corrosion. Since the material is a TPO compound, a qualified body shop will need to use an adhesion promoter.
Fillers have been tested for fitted, and the fit is comparable to panels on an original 6,000-mile Grand National.
By purchasing these OE-quality fillers, the amount of expense in the preparation, fit, and paint work is greatly reduced over the various aftermarket bumper fillers. Most of the other aftermarket filler panels require sanding to fill pot marks and some body lines have to be sanded for a sharper quality look.
In order to give customers a choice, we are offering these and the ABS plastic filler panels. We realize not everyone will be building/restoring a high-end show car, which would require these new OE-style reproduction bumper fillers.
NOTE - If you are interested in the ABS plastic filler panels, see Part #7152 for the ABS plastic front bumper fillers and #7067 for the ABS plastic rear bumper fillers.
NOTE - Manufacturer’s warranty only applies if these filler panels are properly prepped and installed by a qualified auto body shop using an adhesion promoter.
These are excellent replacement items for any exterior restoration.

Final machining to BETTER-than-Original-Equipment (OE) standards is done at TA Performance. As a result, this cover is of a higher quality than the original timing chain cover.

NOTE ABOUT PHOTOS ON THE WEBSITE - We have heard from a couple people that have viewed the photos on the website. Because these have to be low-resolution photos to work on the Inner Circle segments on the website, any photos of text don't appear clear when enlarged. This is a problem when you are trying to see numbers, such as those on the VIN labels or pages from Options booklet. Also, because of photo reproduction and computer screen variations, the colors may not be true to the actual product or photo.
If you would like to have us email you any photo at the higher resolution for viewing, just email us and we will email them to you. Be sure to be specific on which pictures you want to see - Reference Inner Circle date and photo number 1, 2, 3 or 4 - [email protected].
