(5) 1986 BUICK T-TYPE and GNS PERFROMANCE — RTTH7

tom — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 03:18:46 +0000

The Buick Regal Grand National was one of the hottest performance cars of the dark days of the 1980s, and its performance is still very respectable even by today’s standards. The 1986-87 intercooled models have always received most of the attention. Another fact is that everything the Grand National had except the Darth Vader black paint was also on the ”T-Type” so if you wanted the performance of the Grand National but didn’t want it in black and/or preferred a much more subdued look, the ”T-Type” was the way to go.

Scott Walkowiak owns this T-Type and also GNS Performance. GNS Performance Sells custom and after-market parts for the G-body GM cars. He has a very nice web site www.gnsperformance.com.

Scott’s Type has CCW 3-piece wheels, complete Detroit Speed suspension, Baer Brakes, and frame bracing.

Rachel was perusing the show with her husband. Rachel had such a sophisticated look she almost looked out of place. While she does look sophisticated she was also really nice and seemed to be surprised that I would want her to pose. She is posing with a 1933 Buick powered by muscle car era Buick 455 engine. Rachel’s husband grew up in Kingston and they were in on a visit from their home in Murfessboro, Tn.

DANIEL and his 1953 BUICK SPECIAL Daily Driver

Yep you read it right; this is Daniel’s day in day out transportation. It took Daniel six months of blood sweat and tears to get it on the road. The frame was built by Daniel. It has a custom front sub frame mated with a rear frame from a 1974 C-10 Chevy pickup. The drive train uses a 350 Chevy with the C-10 providing the transmission, drive shaft and rear end. The suspension consists of air bags at all four corners. Daniel says it cruises down the interstate just fine at 80 mph.

KYMBERLY, MORGAN, and a ‘86 Buick Grand National

First my apologies to Kymberly and Morgan. Both are as totally cute and sexy as they can be but the pictures of them are not the quality that they deserve. I think I must not have made the proper adjustment on my camera as the day was turning to evening. Kymberly listed her reason for being at the event ”Look pretty”. Mission accomplished! Kym is from Halls, Tn. and is a student at Pellissippi State College. Morgan is from Maynardville, Tn. and is also a a student at Pellissippi State College.
