I hand cleaned it first with Windex (yes regular windex) and a paper towel and then Gunk engine degreaser and really hot water (I have a hot water spout outside of my house, it's awesome).

Funny you say that, the kid down the street said the same thing to me (he has a 240SX).

You know, in all the years (or however long) I've seen this car, I've never asked about it. I know zero about domestics. What's really good about this car? lol

Looks mint though. I've always loved it. Just never actually asked about it.

Well, it single handedly ushered in the next wave of performance "muscle" in the mid 80's. It was way ahead of it's time and alot of the technology in this car still impresses today. A turbo charged intercooled V6 making close to 300HP stock (even though GM underrated it from the factory at 245), 300 ft/lb TQ, distibutorless ignition (uses a coil pack). All of this was a bid deal back in the 80's.

All of this in an understated, sedate, Regal body. Buick offered grandpa sedans for the most part and then put out this ass-kicker. It kicked the Corvettes, Mustangs and Porsche 911's ASS in 0-60 and 1/4 mile!!!
