Some of you all may have been following my GN build over on the Turbobuick site and here on V8. But the time has come to part with this car and make my GS all nice again. OK, this was a fun build. BUT, I have no time to properly finish out the car. The vehicle is a 1982 Turbo Regal (2100 built) that was updated to 1987 trim level. THE GOOD Brand new blue interior (seat covers, headliner, carpet, door panels, visors), buckets, console, B&M Shifter, tilt wheel, boost gauge (factory) T/A cast iron frame stands - 400/430/455 4.10 rear gears New KYB shocks all around New Softseal weatherstripping all around New aluminum radiator and twin electric fans Brakes rebuilt '86/'87 intercooler, fan, brackets, alternator, Y bracket, downpipe included, plus a bunch of other Regal stuff ENGINE & TRANS I do have a 1972 GS455 engine core, with rebuilt heads that can go with the car, along with a rebuilder TH400. Motor is complete and comes with a brand new Stage 1 Elgin cam. Will need machining, lifters, gaskets ..... I have not done anything more than tear it down and start to pick up the small parts (cam, crank, some GM gaskets). Trans is needing a rebuild as it is greasy & used (not burnt up). THE BAD Still needs a windshield (cracked on pass side) and some paint work done. Driveline is going back into the GS. It's a roller Paint was done a couple years ago and does need some work. It's still shiney and presentable (needs a good buff & a bit of spot work) As I said, only the engine/trans is being pulled, new aluminum radiator & d-shaft are still with the car and it will sit on Buick Ralley wheels. $3200 - if too high lets talk.

Well it looks like this car is going into storage this weekend. I'll be on the lookout for for an El Camino body tub. Will be building a Grand Camino out of it. Will be buick powered, AOD, Black out package and so forth. I'd trade the GN/Regal body tub (superstructure & rolling frame, less F41 stuff & interior) for a decent Camino tub in same condition. Jim
