    85 regal drag car lowered price

    85 regal set up for bracket racing could be returned to street car with some work. 72 455 near stock with GS 113 cam and headers. Engine is fresh with only a few passes on it. I pulled the engine and checked it out, fresh gaskets is all it needed and will go back in this week. TH 350 with 10" converter. Holley blue pump and fuel cell. Battery in trunk. Car will need a rear fire wall to be legal like this. GN rear with aftermarket trailing arms and air bag. Centerline wheels and M/T slicks and fronts. Ran 7.60's in the 1/8th. Body on this is rock solid but aint pretty, needs body work on roof where vinyl top was removed and paint. Flat hood with stage 2 scoop on it have 2 GN hoods to go with it. Looking for $4500 make offers. I also have a full cage that could go with this for $300.

    After a good cleaning and removing rubber from quarters there are some mild rust issues. Still a very solid car that would be easy to fix up. I will give a 24 hour price of $3500 on this then it goes to Ebay. Pictures are ready, I can send to anyone that sends their e-mail to me. Don't delay this has to move now.

    Dennis,

    I know you're not parting this out, but if you go that route, I'm interested in the centerlines and slicks.

    Thanks,
    Ramin

    I,ll keep you in mind Ramin.
    I have an 83 Regal parts car here for parts to return this to street use. I have only one response on the car here, if that doesn't go anywhere it will be on Ebay soon, then parts. This car has to go and I am open to offers on this. Engine is back in and will be running today. Engine is fresh with only a couple of passes on it, I pulled it for inspection and put new gaskets in it. Everything inside looks good, should be ready for the season with just a few odds and ends to finish. This would be a great entry level car on the cheap.

    Passenger side door has some rust in the lower seam but no rust through. Passenger side rocker near quarter has one hole smaller than a pencil and one pinhole. Driver side lower quarter has a couple of pinholes in front of tire. Both quarters have rust color on paint behind tires but look and feel solid. Floors, frame and trunk all look solid. I will try to attach an interior pic here.

    Here is the link. It is very tempting, Dennis. Is it set up to run in the quarter mile? If so, what is the best ET so far? Thanks!

    It has a 3.42 gear in it so it would run the 1/4 just fine. I have not run this car myself, I bought it in January with the plan of building it into a nice 1/4 mile street car. I was told that it went 12.20's with a different engine, I would guess it somewhere in the high 12's from the 1/8 mile times and MPH. My plans have now changed and all of my extra cars and parts are going to be sold.

    85 Regal

    Dennis,
    Did you buy the 85 Regal from a guy in Missouri? He had to sell to help pay for wife's surgery ? Same guy? Sure looks and sounds like same car.

    Same car. I bought it, towed it home, checked out the engine and fixed a few things. Now selling off my collection of extra parts and cars, mostly at a loss.

    Dennis, PLEASEEEEEE sell this thing before I do something that could cause a divorce,lol. I really think I could get a turbo'd 350" in under the hood. Someone, anyone, please.......buy this car. My checkbook couldn't handle the lawyer fees if I bought it.
