    My favorite all around car magazine recognized our cars this month.
    March 2008 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines, page 98.

    They have a section that tracks Auction prices: 'Auction Action'. They
    were analyzing an auction price of an '87 Buick Grand National Regal.
    They made a comparison statement:

    "...An as-built(original) Grand National in decent shape may be harder
    to find than a 302 Maverick without a shackle kit and Cragars, nowadays."


    :rofl2: :biglaugh: :D
