You got your self a nice car there sir. performance and sound wise im still trying to figure that out for my 87 cutlass with 3.8

Enjoy it for now and save up for a motor/Trans swap. Start inside out or vice versa, one thing at a time. It looks nice right now, great base.

thanks everyone, so whats the chances of finding a turbo motor and trans? and how much? i can dream right lol. i will keep up with updates, this is my second regal, first was an 81 limited that i paid $200 bucks from a busy that was wrecked and had 230k miles on it. ran and drove perfect for 30k before i sold it lol. this on is much nicer tho.

Clean car - nice base to start out with. I'd enjoy it for a while - good luck finding a turbo motor - I think a 350 or LS series swap would be cool...probably best bang for your buck...

i was thinking the same lol probably a while away tho

Nice ride bro good project should be fun. I would just drive it as is for a while. Ad a open air filter or cold air intake.
