Default Brought Home A New Project Car
It came in on trade at the dealership I work at. The people who traded it were the original owners. I love G-Bodies!!

It's an 87 Regal Limited with a 307 (weez). I will hopefully be converting to an LS1/4L60E next year.

we used to put big blocks in them back in the day and put plain black steel 8 inch wheels with cheater slicks and the big caddaliac mufflers to help keep the sleeper image..great for street racing

That's kind of the idea. I've been scanning ebay for a good deal on an LS1/4L60E combo. It looks a lot better in person than it does in the pics, it's pretty solid. I couldn't pass it up for $500 LOL.

Really dig the car, looks good. Not sure about the vinyl top though...I have seen some serious street machines build out of regals.

I kinda like the vinyl top, it's pristine too! It adds to the sleeper effect.

I just found a deal on a 8.5 10 bolt out of a Cutlass 442. I've gotta sell my four wheeler to fund the LS1 swap.

Why swap trans? Just swap motors be a little cheaper. Sounds like a sweet project tho.
