Yeah was a little surprised when I walked around that side...

Yeah its sad to see. Cant save them all i suppose lol. I love looking through the yards and seeing all the parts I think i cant live without lol. If you happen to grab those fiber optics, and are interested in selling them, please keep me in mind, would really appreciate it..

I can certainly pull them and you are the first to ask so your name is on them.

I was thinking of those fiber optic turn signal indicators. I think I've seen them once in person.

I am a mainly regal guy with some cutlass stuff, I have been building, buying, selling, parting them out and collecting parts for almost 25 years. The rarest option that I have seen is regal rear quarter chrome panels, I just sold the only set I have ever got my hands on for 450 bucks adn really did not want to sell them. They are nearly impossible to find even 20 years ago. Second rarest item which I also have in storage is digital climate control, some turbo buicks got them but I have only seen a couple of stock regals with it and oddly enough mine came out of a regular but loaded cutlass which is the only cutlass I ever found with it. The opera lights on a regal, I have many of them but it is rare to find a set that still actually work. Cornering lights on the regals were rare but more common than these other parts, I have several sets of lights, a good pair of fenders to match and a front wiring harness for them. I did mess up and tossed or sold the column that went to those and there is apparently a sensor on the column. I have those stashed for a future project. Passenger side power seats were a hard one but I owned a limited that had it along with the reclining mechanism which may be even harder to find, I have only seen a couple others. I have no clue what the term is but I have found sets of door panels that have a set of white and red lights in the back lower corner like the rivieras had, I have a set of those in storage. They turned on when the door opened , I suppose so people could see that you have a open door in the dark? Lighted passenger side regal limited dash plaques. Those came 2 ways, with 2 light bulbs or with the same setup that the opera lights came with that had the 110 volt transformer, I can't think of the technical term off of the top of my head. There were regal limited seats with the non shifter console, seen those in both velour and leather, I have had multiple sets of those and had some that I swapped into my first car that was a 78 regal. drivers side lighted vanity mirrors are hard to find and passenger side remote mirrors are hard to find. Astro roof regals are hard to find and a non turbo T top regal is more rare than you would think but they are out there, I seek out T top and astro roof cars, those are the ones I keep for myself if they are worth a crap.

I'll have to dig up a picture or two, I know I took them but not sure where I saved them (or if) but a couple years ago a yard I frequent locally due to turnover got in a 85' Regal with t-tops, concert sound, digital climate control and the front fender/corner lights. 3.8 N/A, Limited I guess it was. Last fall a 4 door Cutlass with bucket seats/console that appeared factory was in another yard (pics somewhere also).

For Monte's, later years that I'm more familiar, the 86/87 base models with sage green interior or exterior and the color keyed 86+ dash trim is probably up there, a 86-88 radio delete plate I've only seen at Mike's Monte's, never popped up anywhere else, the factory bolted a plate to the stock radio trim unlike the earlier years which are a solid one piece delete trim, any radio delete especially a 85'SS one is probably up there as well. Nothing else with Monte's seems rare to me, maybe some earlier years had things but Monte specific wise, seems more of the oddball stuff is BOP specific as more options, at least early on, were common with those cars at least Buick/Olds, maybe not Pontiac as much.

*edit - found one pic of the Regal and the 4 door Cutlass interior

A 1987 Limited Turbo is rare to begin with. But this one has the column shift console, interior opera lights, digital dash, T-Tops, Concert Sound and factory alarm. Not sure about the price but it's a pretty cool car.

Maybe not exactly a rare part, but possibly a rare combination- Was there ever a Regal that came without A/C from the factory?
