Location (State): OH
Color: Gray

1986 Buick Regal in excellent shape for age. No rust, repainted a year ago along with all mods. Paint is cyclone gray metallic from the GTO's.

2001 LM7 5.3 installed with 72k miles.
LS6 valve springs
Comp Cams xr265hr
Shorty Header, 2 1/4 exhaust with spintech mufflers
Stock Dyno with out cam was 240whp and 273wt
after tune with out cam was 275whp and 300wt on 92
with cam and tune was 335whp and 345wt tuned on 87
Has 300wt at 2000 rpms

Trans is 4l60e had a full rebuild, 2100 stall converter, and B&M shift kit installed.

Installed a 3.42 rear end with posi from a Monte Carlo SS.

Has new water pump, oil pump, shocks, front and rear spings, aluminum radiator, electric fan, and headliner was redone.
Installed a Dakota Digital Dash so all gauges would work.
Cruise Control is hooked up.

I have put about 10k miles on this setup and have driven it to Nevada and back. About 4k miles round trip. Can hop in and drive anywhere.

Bad:
Blower fan does not work on high.
Interior is clean, but there is stains in the carpet.
Could use a driver side headlight bezel.
A/C not hooked up

May consider partial trades on GM vehicles only. I do drive this as a daily driver

Car has A/C and worked, but on the truck accessory drives the compressor would hit the frame. You either have to switch to f-body drives, or there is a company that makes a bracket to relocate the compressor up high. I wanted to get the bracket and get it working again.

As for the turbo, my tuner was wanting me to do this as well. But I really just wanted this as a driver untill I could get a g8. Also my rear end would complain about it too.
