Cheap, Canadian Big Block Regal Wagon

Reason I posted it in the first place is it was done dirt cheap. And that shows in a lot of areas. I'm going to spend exponentially more than this guy on mine, but hopefully it won't blow up after a few years.

Good point, and that's totally fair. I went into my own project telling myself it was gonna be ultra low-buck... but then it didn't quite turn out that way.

I think that's how alot of us start out.... it's when the "while I'm here" bug bites, that it snowballs out of control....

Low buck only lasts so long. Then the choice is get rid of it and start over or keep going. My 70 was a street/strip car going 11.20's at 118 with probably a $5000 engine back in 1996. Today its a backhalved car going 8.80's at 151 and there is probably $5000 in the heads and intake. 🙁

I like the part around 1:45 when he nails the gas and nothing happens.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that.

Its a cool car ......if he paid what he claims, its a score.

A couple of buxx more here and there and it could be a real winner!

Reminds me of the rhetorical question:
Q: "How fast do you want to go?"
A: "How much do you want to spend?"
