    10-20’ paint is great. Just want a decent car that’s not a huge project. Located in Utah but willing to fly out/drive home. Prefer blue, silver or white cars. Not a big red fan


    Could also be talked into a 455 Regal?

    Would like to stay below $15k but for something that needs almost no work, I’d have some wiggle room.

    Since a Regal is not from the 70-72 range you might be interested in a 74 Apollo with a 455. 12-14 K range not finished assembled but new 455 with TH400. All completely rebuilt. Red. Engine and trans bolted in car. Planning a move again.

    I’ve never been much for the X-body cars. That thing should REALLY move and sounds like a nice car though.

    Re the Regal: I’ve always like GN cars, just want a 455 in one rather than the 3.8L turbo (turbo cars really move as well, I just like the torque)



    Is that the link below? If so, that’s an amazing deal and BEAUTIFUL car, just not in my “toy” budget at this time. Wish it was as that’s exactly what I’m after. Just not quite as “finished”

    REALLY old thread but thought I’d post up and say I found something. It’s kind of an ornery version of what I was looking for.

    I’ll post up an introduction thread in the near future. AA754570-2599-4A28-87A5-82F00BEB3AE9.jpeg BEE875AD-3AF5-434C-BD3E-049227AE3B00.jpeg

    That car sure does look familiar to me. Any idea if that spent some time in Colorado years back?

    Guy I bought it from got it out of CA. He’s had the car for the last 12-13 years.

    Where are you in CO?
