Thanks for all the nice "opinions" ... The Deck Lids Metal, as well as the core support. whats interesting is that it has NO Options, except a Turbo Package, PERIOD ! "strange" ? *That was the appeal to me (esp. the NO A/C).

You may have read here, (or elsewhere) that the Turbo's my only issue ... It's DEAD IN THE WATER. It spins (the shaft) & has a good waste-gate actuator, ... "all the obvious stuff's fine". Whatever's wrong has to be looking right at me, but I'll be damned if I can see it ! *Right down to the Secondaries on the Carb. (and the knock sensor / Spark control module) ... "I've checked it all." *I'll look at basic pressures and the like "later".

When the weather breaks I'll fix it (I hope) ... after that a P.E.V.R. Valve is all I need (or the Vacuum tee "alternative" to replace it.) THAT"S IT.

Wow!



A non-air(A/C) Turbo Regal....its like old hot rods, no power robbing options!



In Darth Vader's favorite color no less.


It is awesome! Nothing shines quick like a smooth and slick black paint job.


Thanks for not swapping in an SBC! And for not swapping in an LS!


About the only acceptable swap would have been a clean 455 Buick with a Stage 1 package.


Sorry, I am a Buick guy.


Wow!

BEAUTIFUL car broseph!! Hopefully by the summer my regal will be right there along with you. i'm removing the vinyl and going hardtop..and trying to find some buick rallys like yours...i put the SS wheels on it for the mean time b/c i was having so much trouble finding a set of 15" buick rallys..below's a pic of my 87..i'm doing a fresh built SBC 350 swap in place of the 307 so as soon as this is complete it will be in the paint shop...i had even thought about Maaco as well since my paint guy thinks I have 2G's to drop on paint...
