Default Considering trading my 87 Buick Turbo Regal for an LS1 F body

Testing the waters here, but I am gauging interest in possibly trading a collector car for a more modern muscle car.

My car is an 87 Buick Regal Turbo T. It's the same thing as the Grand National except the Turbo T's came in any color whereas the Grand Nationals were all black.

It has the 3.8 liter V6, turbocharged, intercooled.
200-4R automatic with overdrive
TE-44 turbo
Stock intercooler
blue top 36 lb injectors
Turbo Tweak chip, will allow for timing and fuel adjustments
Stock downpipe, catalytic converter removed (not by me, was that way before I bought it)
Dual Flowmaster mufflers
Fuel pump hot wire kit
Adjustable fuel press. regulator
K&N filter
Optima battery
Front and rear sway bars
Power steering
Power brakes
Cruise
A/C (needs recharged)
VDO oil/water gauges
Caspers knock gauge
Autometer boost gauge
Scan master
Power driver seat
Power antenna (broken)
Rear window defogger
Delay wipers
Bucket seats
Vanity mirrors
Center console
Power windows
Power locks
15X7 aluminum turbine finned rims
Full size spare
8.5 10 bolt rear end
3.42 gears, posi traction
Alpine and Polk speakers

The car is an original NC car and spent all of it's life there until I brought it to Missouri a few months ago.

It has one repaint which has a few blemishes that you have to look hard to see. The interior was redone in tweed and it looks good though I'd put new carpet in it. The engine is fairly fresh rebuild. There is a small amount of rust at the bottom of the door seams, nothing that would take much to fix.

It runs and drives good, everything but the a/c and power antenna work, it gets 17-19 mpg city and 23-25 highway, it's pretty fast but I've not ran it at the track so I don't have any 1/4 mile times. It currently pushes 14-15 lbs of boost on 93 octane.

I have some extra parts to go with the car:

Walbro 340 fuel pump
Accufab adjustable fuel pressure regulator
Extra brake pressure switch
Brake accumulator

Car has a clear NC title in my name. Here's a few pics:









As for trade here's what I am looking for:

2001-2002 model

Original LS1 car, not a hybrid or backyard conversion on a former V6 car

6 speed manual. Sorry no automatics. I am tired of automatics.

It has to be in very good condition. Not wrecked. Not ran to death. Not a rust bucket. Sorry I'm not trading a collector car for junk.

It has to run and drive and not be in need of any repairs whatsoever. My car runs and drives just fine so should yours.

I strongly prefer a hard top but will consider T tops. Not interested in convertibles.

I strongly prefer a black car still wearing it's original black paint but will consider other colors.

I prefer a car with working power windows/locks and a/c.

IT MUST have a clear title. No salvage titles. No titles with liens on them.

Not looking to sell my car outright. Only looking to trade even or so.



Also if I happen to think your car is worth a little more than mine I am willing to throw in a 400 small block Chevy core. It's just the block, and it's not been bored ever but I had the engine cleaned and magnafluxed and it came back as a crack free core:






This of course is a hard to find block, and again I am not selling it outright either, just offering it up.

I am out in the boonies 60 miles east of K.C.
