I don't know where you are in MI but this guy said this is a 3 speed auto from an original 85' V6 Regal but he did not know for sure if it was a 200c.
He has had it a while so I would think he might not still be firm on the price.

A friend of mine said The 200C was only used until 81 Or something like that A friend has a used but unknown condition 200c from a GA he's giving me for free which I'll probably have it rebuilt.

If this guy wants mileage and likes the sound of a V6, no one in their right mind does, unless quiet, still trying to convince the guys on the Challenger forum. Why not get a 4.3 Olds V6 diesel? They get wicked mileage and have the extra head bolts the 350 diesel needed and a factory serpentine. You can actually piece together one on Ebay. Why not get something you can work on? Instead of horrible performance and 25 mpg at best, get 40 mpg with horrible performance:).

Or, convert it to gas, and boost it to the moon!

Even put a small turbo on it in diesel form, the extra head bolts will go a long way.

Now that's something I can agree on!!! Olds Diesels. Once the kinks are worked out I have a friend who gets close to 40 MPG in there's in an 80s Cutty FWD Car with a 4.3 V6 in it.

The private diesel group I'm in on FB There's a guy on there with a fixed 5.7L Diesel with Quad Turbos. Sounds MEAN.
He Daily's it that I know of... Not sure on horse but somewhere about 160+ Which isn't bad from the late 5.7s of 105 HP from 1978 that was 120.

Exactly, get a 4.3 V6 diesel, add a small turbo, 2004R and 3.42 gears. Around 40 mpg and keep up with traffic. I am hoping with the changes for 30 mpg imperial with my ram air, stock inside Olds 260, converting to serpentine belt drive with headers, 2.5" dual x pipe exhaust, 2004R and 3.42 gears with fairly tall 215/75R14 tires.

People like you are who i like... Following you.
See even the V6 is a Small CID engine Why can't people just like them? If they never made that engine there would be no Grand National!!!
The Olds had Absolute no power but got great mileage with TONS of Kinks and Problems.
