I don't know the name. I didn't even know that they sold them outside of the US. Sorry, but don't know the name outside US.

If it has a 454 SS on the side, thats the model. The 454 SS was a limited edition(kind of) to go up against the Ford Lightning(not the newer Lightning).

454 SS

They only came in black. If you want a faster more driveable truck for about the same price, try finding an early 90's GMC Syclone or Typhoon, they had a turbocharged 4.3 v-6 (carryover from the grandnational project by buick) and all wheel drive. FAST!

Not exactly "carry-over" since the Grand National/GNX's engine was a (Buick-based) 3.8L and the Syclone/Typhoon used a completely different (Chevrolet-based) 4.3L V6.

carry over

You are absolutely right, although all of the technology and information GM learned was carried over, based on different engines of course

carryover

Yes, the 4.3 chevy is basically a 350 that had 2 cylinders removed, they share the same bore size/spacing and have the same stroke, meanwhile the 231 buick was a pretty good average v-6 until gm powertrain specialists breathed on it with a garrett turbo making it one of the most awesome engines evermade even in moderndays( can you believe that the last grand national rolled off the assembly line more than 13 years ago?)
