The guy had it since like 2008. And didn't hardly drive it anymore. And wanted it to go to someone who would appreciate it. I told him I've owned 6 other GTPs, so he was happy to sell it to me.

The title said he bought it with 53k miles on it. So he only put 9k on it 15 years. I've driven it 5k miles already, in 8 months

Have a white GS Regal. Nothing like Jake's monster. Like driving a sofa. Very comfortable. Had to replace cup holder and visors. For a GM very reliable

I'm a Buick guy in general. Have a 69 Lesabre Convertible for a fair weather cruiser and a 70 GS as my daily. Need a Grand National and a Regal GS to complete the set. I've also tried to run down a 95-00 Rivera, but not luck over the years.

My buick was so dirty that it was embarrassing, so I got her cleaned up today. Final pic was the day I brought her home, with 300lbs of bondo and 100lbs of weight reduction from rust. I don't build show cars, but it ain't bad for a moron with a mig welder and no paint booth.

Saw a Roadkill Garage episode where they made 274hp from a supercharged SBC. That's about 30 more than I expected, props to SBCs and their potential.

Just got done installing Speed Engineering true duals last weekend. Holy f are they loud and drone.....

I saw your post in the Speed Engineering thread to put spiral inserts in so that's what I will be trying.....

You don't find the spirals to be to restrictive?
