Im not saying you have to start with a pos. My regal had 98k and everything was original. But it was a base model with a 307 olds boat anchor and a
200-4r. I didnt start with a GN or GNX.

Regardless opinions are opinions and everyone has their own. I say good luck with the car whatever you decide to do b/c at the end of the day it is your car and therefore you can do whatever you want with it. Now Im gonna go have a beer.

I agree with you (as im having a beer) and your base model regal was probably worth more then and now then that BEAUTIFUL HONDA and thats
my opinion

It’s his car, let him decide what he wants to do with it. Besides, as long
as there is one in a museum, that’s good enough, I say cut it up.

Think of all the iron we saved by recycling those old hulky crap engines lol. When I pulled the all iron 307 with the trans the engine hoist almost broke. Slightly off topic but hell I've been drinking.
