Ding ding ding, we have a winner, no more callers please! Pick up any 80's car magazine and you will see all of the cars and ads as 0-50.

It happened before that my Midget ads that I have hanging up are 0-50.

I rode in one last month at an autox. I sure miss that old turbo pinto motor.

What about these!!!!! God awful draw-thru carb'd turbo....but my FAVORITE fox body.

The only time a Grand Nat is grassroots is if your DD rhymes with niclarin and ends in F1 and you buy a Bently for your 16 year old.
Sweet car, but hardly GRM if you ask me.....but then again, you didn't haha.

Vane Airflow Meters suck ass.

When you guys are saying that the Grand National is not Grassroots are you talking about a GN or a GNX? I know the GNX's are rare and not even sold in some areas but GN's were not that rare.

The regular Grand Nationals are bringing a decent amount of money now.

It's not about rarity, its about whether or not it's cheap. Any 80's E36 M3box that costs more than $1500 aint cheap (for a E36 M3box i.e. car from 80s).

Speaking of '80s turbo goodness, one we didn't get in the US that I really want.

MG Metro Turbo.
