torque is Buick's specialty. The 510 lbs ft 1970 455 and every engine they make. Of course the engineers got a bit strange when they put the torque on the air cleaner lid instead of cubes like every other manufacture. Messes people up to this day.

Always learning. That 1962 Buick Indy car is at the IMS Museum. Right now its down in the basement which very few people are allowed down there. I cant wait til its rotation comes up again. I have never seen it in person. Thanks for posting that article, I have seen it before but it was old and tattered. I now have it saved. I believe it was named the Harvey Aluminum Special.

the 215 also raced at Indy in 1962 built by Mickey Thompson, with this rookie named Dan Gurney at the wheel. Olds had their own 215.

Awesome. Used in Buicks and Rovers.

Interesting you mentioned Indy. My fastest Buick

You are correct about the values. Our Buick club events used to be a sea of black. the GN out numbered the 60's cars 4 to 1. But those guys moved on to newer performance cars and then the values slowed down. I have noticed the upward moment the last few years. I have some great friends from TX that make the trek to Bowling Green, KY for our national event.

This is my slowest Buick but my favorite. A highly optioned California car I have owned for 15 years. 1965 Riviera Gran Sport. 425ci, 2x4bbl 1 of 3354, not ultra rare but I don't see Gran Sport Rivs come up for sale often. It is mostly all original except for new paint.

The Flyin Hawaiian, enjoyed watching him. I collect race and restore 1960's Buicks Gran Sports and Turbo Regal/Grand Nationals so that Indy program and the Brayton's are very dear me. That lil 231 V6 has seen a lot of variants, been carbureted, fuel injected, turboed, supercharged and raced at Indy. It scared the NHRA when Buddy Ingersoll showed up in Pro Stock in a Turbo Regal.

Very nice, Rosewood is a great color. You do not see many in that hue. I have a ton of parts to bolt on this one. just haven't yet as I thought I might get a nicer one someday. But now I doubt it. I have headers, Alky injection kit, 57lbs injectors, 21 row stock location intercooler, 3 inch downpipe, rear upper and lower control arms, drag radials. I sold my TA-49 turbo but now with modern turbos having ball bearings and better aerodynamic vanes I need to pony up some cash for one and get to wrenching.

Interesting you all brought up Turbo Regals. I have owned this one for 11 years 1987 Regal Turbo T.

I watched the intro live last night. Makes my 485HP Scat Pack Challenger 3rd fiddle now. I love that Dodge is pushing the envelope a bit further than the Hellcat. It might be an older platform than the Camaro and Mustang but Dodge is getting their money worth out of it. Also the Trailhawk, a Hellcat powered Jeep Grand Cherokee and an SRT Durango is in the works. Also joining with Hagerty as the official insurance company of the Demon was a great marketing move.

I enjoyed the final round of the masters. I do not mind Sergio winning but he would not be my first choice. I thought the manner in which he and Justin handled themselves was exceptional. Now if only Kuchar could have made it a 3-way playoff.

But will the poor animals ever be able to reproduce?

Whew, glad I missed that.

You wanna drive to Columbia MO and pick up some LaScalas with me? All the beer and crack fries you can eat plus fuel. You know my small car wont fit them. Or I can rent a van and you can be the wing man.

Will we be able to listen to this recording at the Pilgramage this year?

When Frank Sinatra walked into a Hollywood club in 1957 where Rickles was performing, the comedian greeted the “Chairman of the Board” from the stage: “Make yourself at home Frank. Hit somebody.” Sinatra roared — with laughter. He also was awesome on the Dean Martin Celebrity Roast

The first game was a good one. This entire NCAA Tournament has been very enjoyable.

I want to listen to one of these some day. I have no experience with tubes. Or do I? The last thing I need is to want something else.

I do not know anything about Archie Miller. I don't know if Alford would have been a good choice or if he would have even considered the job. Heck I would have been happy with Reggie Miller even. We are so dang sentimental here in the Hoosier state. Speaking of Reggie Miller I am happy to see CBS give him some primetime this year. I enjoy his coverage of the games. So what do you all think of the Archie Miller decision?

It is down to Xavier and UNC. I probably wont even watch the other games, those teams have no resonance with me.

Dang they grow em big down there in Mayberry. An offensive rebounding machine. Congrats and total respect to UNC. The respect is due to the fact they have kept that program elite for so very long, something here at Indiana University we let slip away. Come home Steve Alford and make IU right again. All the Indiana teams are out, guess I have to go rouge now.

Lets get real... As in a real mascot

Getting ready for Butler n NC

UK v UCLA is a catch 22 game. If UCLA loses then the chances of Steve Alford coming home to IU may be greater. the fans of Westwood will turn on him in a sec again. But then you have the Lavar Ball scenario. But if I have to root for UK to make it happen. Sorry Steve.
