have not seen this posted before but I could be wrong


The supercharged version appeared in 1992 on the Buick Park Avenue Ultra.

Click EDIT in the bottom right corner of the 3800 section. I added the 92 Bonneville info some time ago.

I posted a link to that a few months ago in the lounge as well. That site is pretty interesting though

Erm, I thought every other branch of GM used the S1 L67 before Buick, even though it was a Buick motor?

i fixed where you had posted the info on the 3800 in the 3300 section.. i moved it up to the 3800.... good job bill.... use the edit in the TOP right corner.... it seems the edit comes before the section, not at the end...

According to this article (and I know I've seen it mentioned in other places, just can't remember where) there were some late in the 1991 model year L67 park avenue ultras, I think I remember they were 195 hp
