[MOTOWN]

Brings back some good memories! the englishtown days! also tells why the Mustang guys went to Turbocharging!

[JimP]

I've been waiting for this comes out Dec 11th.

[DOOM]

I love that car!!!

[1 Bad Merc]

I will have to buy it for Baaad GN as he will love it.

We are starting to get her up and running. Cant wait to see her roast the hides again!

[Chayton]

we should make a Marauder documentary <3

[Curless]

A must have for any true car guy!

MMMM, 1987 Buick Grand National GNX.....any questions???

[rossv1]

Having owned one of these for the last couple of months, I must say a documentary like this is well deserved

[RF Overlord]

Black GN: "Mr. Vader, your car is ready."

Black GN: "Mr. Vader, your car is ready."

This was actually the advertising slogan for the Impala SS, I have looked all over to find the commercial but I can't find it....

[RF Overlord]

Yeah, but the '87 GN even looked like Darth Vader...

[Comin' in Hot]

If our cars came from the factory with a supercharger, I believe it would be an icon in automobile history. I would love to see a marauder documentary like this to learn how our cars came to life, but I don't know if the marauder will ever be loved on this level by the automobile community as a whole.

Cant wait to see this! Hope its quality.........

[Baaad GN]

Hey Brad maybe I'll follow you down to Louisville next year in the GN!

[Mike M]

I still have mine, I ordered it at the end of production...almost didn't make the cut off. Waited 6 weeks to get it. Took the day off of work and hung out at the Buick dealer and watched it come off the truck. It is still in my garage.

I wonder if there will be any mention of the 89 TTA.

They should say something about them, most people don't realize that the engine was not just a 3.8 turbo, it was the GNX engine!

1st dibs on a ride, I do miss mine from time to time......Oh Honey!!!!!

I remember when growing up. My neighbor had a 1979 Buick Regal Turbo. Dark red in color. I remember the slight bulge in the center of the hood too.

Hopefully they would touch on the early days too.

Not really, it is a modified GN engine with different heads to fit in the engine bay as well as different pistons and a cross drilled crank. Remapped ECM as well.

If we can get it to Louisville I dont think that will be any problem!

[HiHoSilver]

I love these cars and cant wait to see the film. It was so innovative and technologically advanced for the time.. The last year of any of the grand national cars was the year I was born ;)

Just did a little research, I stand corrected! The info I was given in the past was WRONG. Interesting info on that engine and it "real" power output....hmmmm....now if I only owned one...

[Curless]

Was? Meaning you sold it?????:eek::bigcry::dunno::bo p::banghead::loco:

Sorry, to me, there IS NO OTHER CAR....

[Baaad GN]
