What parts will fit my 1982 Regal?

[nick6659]

Just curious... What material are the seats made of? Still cannot find any bench regal seats with vinyl/leather seats.
Does not matter to me if the car had the seats from factory or not just need to know what I will need to order to redo the seats

Merely a suggestion.
I would look at all the Buicks from 81-87. The main shell is the same on these. 81-3 front header panels & bumper fillers are unique to those years while 84-87 are unique to those years.
Keep in mind doors, fenders bumpers, Quarter panels, hoods, Trunk lids are al the same. rear fillers same 81-87.

The nice thing about Buick is that they had some cool paint schemes. 2-tone designer series to wh-1's with Black Gray & black similar to an 82 Grand National. solid colors lie rose wood etc..

On the interior the dash pads are the same. 81-3 has a different cluster set up then the 84-7's.
82 you could get a true bench seat car.
If you want buckets or split that is no problem they make mounts for a conversion.

If you want to do a floor shift it isn't that difficult. Just don't do the Grand national clone. If you try & do that you will be better off just buying one as a starting pint.

Just make it your own. Even some GN guys have lightning rod shifters from a H/O.

Figure out the color combo you want, what HP you want & I'm sure you can find something out there that was produced close to what your looking for.
81-83 parts are generally less expensive then the 84-7 stuff. If it can be sold as a GN part the prices go up.

Does the regal have any roof options like T-top or moon roof?

They would be vinyl if it is a Bench.
Split bench with buttons "pillow seats" could be in cloth or vinyl.


83 regal the bucket seat tracks & the Split bench seat tracks are different. 13" on buckets & 14.5 on split bench. That is why you can't just grab a 45/55 seat with power tracks & put it in a set of bucket seats.

Great information! Thanks!
I want to keep the seats the way they are just recover them. I think that will be the easiest/cost effective way to go (suggestions?)
Car already has floor shifter( HURST PRO-MATIC 2 RATCHET SHIFTER )
No roof options.

Dark Blue
Rear seats are in great shape, passenger side front is in good condition, driver side front has rips

Early G bodies lack frame mounts for a THM 200-4R crossmember.

That is correct but a brace is made for $25.00 that mounts in the old location & gives you the correct location 84-7 mount for the crossmember.
