    So back in 2001, I'd purchased an 82 roller Buick Regal. It had a turbo hood, console, buckets, astro roof, and sport steering wheel (horn button missing). Someone had painted it red. Even the door, hood, and trunk areas were painted red. I remember the dash cluster lens' were very foggy and...

    Guys, I bought new clutches for my 2004R because my steels are great. What is the normal grade paper transmission guys use to scuff the steels? I used 400 grit on my old 2004R I did years ago. I'm out of 400 but have 600 here. I'm no pro transmission guy but 600 seems too light

    Anyone know converter stall speed on 2004R? Monte SS vs turbo Buick

    I'm trying to figure out if an 83 turbo Regal torque converter has more stall than an 86 Monte SS torque converter. It seems like I read years ago that the 86 and 87 Turbo Buicks had a bit more stall than the average 2004R. I'm wondering if the 83's had any more stall as well.

    78 or 79 Regal in The Old Man and the Gun movie

    Watched this pay per view movie last night. It stars Robert Redford, Sissy Spacek, and Danny Glover. The movie was OK. What's NOT OK is them crashing the Regal. It looked really clean too. I'm a little partial to the 78-80 cause a 79 was my first car.
