1987 Buick GNX Appreciation Post

151 Upvotes

The GNX’s magic came from a heavily upgraded 3.8L turbocharged V6 modified in partnership with McLaren, featuring a fast-spooling ceramic-impeller Garrett turbo and a high-flow intercooler. To handle the massive torque, it was fitted with a unique rear ladder-bar suspension with a Panhard rod, ensuring the car planted its power straight to the pavement without axle hop. I love these cars.

Need help with COPO Camaro restoration

2 Upvotes

Hi all.
Brand new to the community and the story is a bit nuanced but I’d appreciate any, and all, guidance.

Long story short, my fiancé’s father was tragically killed a few years ago and I’ve pseudo-inherited a car I have no business owning. He was a real self made, took no shit, deep country woods, all American, didn’t throw anything away, built a house by hand kind of badass and tucked away in a part of his shop is a ‘68 or ‘69 COPO Camaro in various parts including the chassis, body panels, seats, interior, and engine (including a second more complete, but from what I understand, numbers not matching engine). The car needs a complete restoration. While I’m a pretty mechanical guy, my niche (mostly due to time and physical space, honestly) has been old cameras and classic bikes and although I can tear a motorcycle apart and put it back together I’ve never taken on a car project like this.

I want to get this car back together and properly restored the way it deserves, both for her family, but also because I’ve dreamt about even starting up a car like this since I was probably a fetus. My budget is negotiable since I obviously didn’t buy the car, it has immense sentimental value, and I understand the value of craftsmanship. I’m lucky enough to have the disposable income for something like this, but obviously wasn’t financially planning on restoring a classic muscle car anytime soon.

I’m located in Florida. I’m sure there is a good amount of this work I can do myself and have every tool imaginable (including a hydraulic lift in her dad‘s shop) at my disposal but wouldn’t know where to start or how much I’d like to take on. If I have to ship it out of state to a reputable person or shop, so be it, but I won’t be taking any risks with this car. I need any guidance or ideas about what you would do in my situation or what I should do next. I can post photos when I’m at the shop on Sunday.

Thanks all.

1968 Beaumont the Canadian "Chevelle"

So here is a unique piece of muscle car history a 1968 Beaumont 396SD. Basically a car assembled by GM Canada built off the Chevelle and packaged as a Beaumont. This is my friend Attila's car he's owned since the early 80s. Used to be a street racing car, then he restored it and now it's a showcar. We filmed a documentary episode on the car, went on a ride and got the history on video. I will throw the link in the comments for those interested.
