Supercharged Grand National

[2.8 Bird]

I wasn't aware of this, but it looks like a couple of Grand Nationals back then came with an eaton supercharger.

That’s pretty cool, I bet the turbo though put out more hp.

Where did you find this?

I got from a 3800 group in my FB page.

Definitely a rare Buick.

It's an engineering prototype - that explains a lot. Like these prototype Birds.

Nice, I wonder where they keep them.

[FirebirdGT]

They crush them - unless someone makes a "backroom deal" and gets it off the company property.

Well that sucks what a waste.

Love that article. I wish they kept that supercharged v6 on the fbody.

It was discussed in the forum that the deal between Eaton and GM didn't fall through in the 80s. It won't be till the 90s that they've agreed to mass producing the supercharger for the GM 3800.

Yeah , would of been sweet to have it on ours.
