Razors Edge ★ Posted January 26 Share #2 Posted January 26 Did GM make an AWD or 4x4 station wagon? That would have been neat, and would open up some interesting after-market builds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razors Edge ★ Posted January 26 Share #4 Posted January 26 In a related "fun" idea, I watched a Faster With Finnegan episode on Motortrend where they "upgraded" a Scamborghini (80s Fiero w/ Countach body kit). Too funny. Dropped a 350 V8 into it, so that was fun, but couldn't push the hp too much since they didn't upgrade anything else in the trans, or brakes, or suspension, or really anything. That's for a future episode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago my buddy & I were eating dinner at a bar, and seen white Countauch next door at the cell phone place. We walked over to take a look. As I was looking at the body gaps, I thought this looks like crappy manufacturing for a Lamborghini. Then looked inside and seen a GM turn indicator, which is the same one I had in my Grand Prix. Its a kit car I've been next to a couple countach's...they are really nice cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen a KITT car in person aboot 20 years ago in a parking lot. I chatted w/ the dude for a minute. There is a company that sold all the bits & pieces cool as heck. I sat in one, in 1982 at Autorama in Detroit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parr8hed Posted January 27 Share #11 Posted January 27 I follow him on insta. Honestly I love it. The wood paneling makes it! Buick roadmasters turned into 4x4 seems to be a big thing now days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should then be the Trailmaster I bet, though, that somewhere in the GM skunkworks area, there is something like these ideas. Sadly, they seemed to destroy a lot of their wild ideas, but maybe, at least, the sketches or design docs still exist? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Body swap the Buick onto a truck frame with the running gear already in place? Use existing Buick motor, frame and transmission and add in a transfer case, 4x4 front axle and beef up the suspension? Curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious. If the buick is a body on frame, then it relatively easy (for someone, not me). Not sure which body line its from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
