Times about a dealer in Long Beach that has one of the mint ORIGINAL '78 Buick Grand Nationals. Article quoted most folks coming into his dealership but passing right by the GN which sits right outside his office window on showroom floor.....son of the owner says occasionally they get an offer but he has resigned himself that no one will offer what he feels the car is worth so it will never get sold. I couldn';t help but think maybe he could sell it if he was driving it around....then again my Pantera just sat for 5+ months collecting dust. But here's the beautiful thing....I took my time starting it wanting to pull some oil off the oil pan into the engine to lube the old girl up.....but here's something that
surprised me even more....not a drop of oil or fluids on the garage floor....not before or after I drover her!!!....backed out of the driveway, came home parked it....it sat for another week and it still hasn't dropped any oil or water. I better check to see if there is any water or oil left inside her! BAAWH ;-)</div><div>Linkage stretchedat the NORC and I need to get Dick Drenske to fix that problem but otherwise the Pantera is running great. Hopefully we can fix the throttle cable without pulling the EFI Throttle Bodies off which would mean then we have to rebalance the system. If that is the only problem I got I outta thank the Pantera Gods.<br> </div><div><strong><font color="#0000ff"><em>Mad Dawg Antenucci <br></em></font><font color="#ff0000">Team Pantera Racing</font></strong> </div> <div><em><strong>The 1st & still the only vintage race team in open road racing <br></strong></em><font color="#0000ff"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank"

The Olds died in Wichita……….because of my sister in law. A delightful lady, but liberal democrat and ex-NYC prima ballerina. She was very keen on save the planet issues and did drive a small, fuel efficient, environmentally friendly car. She drove it until she was T-boned at an intersection in Phoenix. She suffered some broken bones. When she moved out to join my brother in Wichita, he asked if they could have the family beater, the 1972 Olds Delta 88. It seems that his wife had suddenly reflected on the merits of saving the planet with small, fuel efficient cars and decided that she preferred to have a LOT of heavy metal around her even if it was rusty and had a V8! They drove it until the transmission quit and it was donated to a worthy charity in Wichita. My brother would have donated it to the NRA and she would have given it to
Greenpeace!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> Warmest regards, Chuck Engles</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif";">From:</span></b><span
