    Here is the 1973 Century Regal I purchased in early May. One owner family- father to son, Military family -bought in VA, moved to CA, then Maine where he retired at Loring AFB before closing. The car had not been ran more that a few miles a year the last ten years- last sticker is 1995. Barely ran when I got it but for under a grand I felt worth it. The son did a paint job from factory light green (driver quality at best, although it was jammed pretty good.) and added these 14 inch rims which I love. After a good tuneup she runs, and allot to do but at least I could get it out of the garage for these pics! 133k on the original 350, 4bbl. Bench seat with arm rest that needs redo or bucket replace, no posi either but that can be remedied. Crank windows, AC, and hell, even a circ 80's Pioneer Super Tuner tape deck stereo that WORKS! It was nice to see the cross members already have the notches for dual exhaust although this has a single. "Restify" is my term here- not concerned about originality, but durability and driveability, and low buck Blue Collar Buick!

    Yeah very cool. Don't see too many clean ones around..
     
  13. Most of the pictures that have been posted on this thread are several years old. Anyone interested in a "Where are they Now" Perhaps new pictures of the progress on these or perhaps someone else owns some of them now?

    Haven't touched it since I bought it in 2011. Got it running, and driving the wheels off it.

    OK, I lied - i did charge the A/C.
