Craigslist Regal

Well I initially saw the price of $15,000 and thought it was probably a typo then I clicked on the pictures and yes it is a clean car just far from a $15,000 car and I am very curious how he bored a 383 stroker into a 400 small block.

I think this guy and my buddy must use the same optimistic calculator, he claims 290 RWHP in his 318 Dodge that never broke 150hp in prime tune

My GP has a (race engine ) and can't get a hit @ $4500. The market just isn't there right now, If he lost the 1 he might have a chance.

That's what these guys don't get. Its not collectable like an '87 GN. You could do a LOT with $15,000.

Exactly, people try to cash in on the GN market because it's the G-Body everyone knows.
To me, we'll have to wait another 30 years or more before G-Bodies are really worth something. The only ones that come
to mind are '79 Hurst Olds, 83-84 Hurst Olds, T-Type/GN/GNX, Grand Prix 2+2, and the Aerocoupe Monte's.
