Ohio newby

Just acquired a 78 Z28.
It's a very nice one I think for a later model.
4 speed with 35k actual miles, guess I can't post pics yet,
at my Buick web site, you need 10 posts to do so.
Probably going to need some help since I
have been a long time Buick owner.
Live near Cincinnati.
Won't be making fun of Chevys anymore!

Welcome to the board.
Last one was a 72 GS455 (clone), did have some Stage one upgrades to
the engine. (Mild) Did like it, triple black, very nice driver.
Before that had a few others, 67 Special, and 56 Special to name a couple.
Loving the 4 speed in my Z, that's why I bought it mainly.

Re: Ohio newby

Were you a member on v8buick.com?

My father in law is a member over there (sailbrd). He recently put a Procharger on his '70 GSX clone.

I love Buicks.

I love Buicks.
Still am a member (rogbo) there also. May have crossed threads with
sailbird but don't recall, it is a nice site similar to this one.
Must confess I like my Z but still love Buicks too.
Was raised on them, my Dad was a Buick mechanic (Dynaflow Joe) so
started with them in the 50s (I'm old!)

Nice, those 455 were pretty cars. Well, welcome to the board and I'm sure I will see you out cruzing, as I live in Franklin.

That's real close by for sure.
I drive to Franklin every morning to the Conover Health Center.
Manage (part time) the property for the Trust that owns the it.
So, if you happen to be by there between 9 and 11 am,
look me up. Maybe you know somebody that works there?
