    same old question , what's it worth

    thanks for the replies, I think my comfort level on this is $1500. I imagine most of the parts will fit in the 79, including seats, dash, console, steering column, WOW that's a lot to transfer over, then through in the drive train. I also have an 82 Regal parts car with a 4.4L V8 in it. Bruce

    Hi I'm not new to Buick's, usually hang out at V8buick, I have a 79 Turbo Regal to play with, not on the road yet. I ran across a 87 GN for sale and want an opinion as to what it's worth, or what the parts to sell are worth. It's tough, runs drives, frame is good, doors iffy, rockers shot, one...

    how do I get tire and rim off car

    Thanks for the replys Getting to run is not a problem , getting it to stop another thing :biggrin: I've tried prying it off with a crowbar from the back between the drum and rim with no luck.

    I haven't sold the 455 yet. I usually get $500 for a good running Buick 455 c/w tranny, this one going to need work. I looked at this Electra 2 years ago and the oil pump was leaking. The owner wanted way too much money for it then. It's been sitting in a barn for the past 8 years. The oiling...

    How Do I Know if a Turbo is Turning

    LOL, um $500. I think it was a good deal. Even if I were to part it out (which isn't going to happen) I'd recoupe my investment. I'm still trying to figure the car out, how much it's worth, how many are in Canada, how they operate, I've never driven one. I'm guessing from the diameter of...

    How Do I Know if a Turbo is Turning

    Hi, This car has springs on the bolts. I was able to turn the bolts on the pipe flange that runs from the exhaust manifold to the turbo at the turbo. Then the Mosquitoes came out. I'll try the down pipe flange tomorrow. Does anyone know where I can find the options sheet, I've looked in...

    How Do I Know if a Turbo is Turning

    thanks for the replys This is going to be interesting, I think the rear brakes are working a little. My lane is 400 ft long I don't think there's enough room including coasting to a stop.:D Can I heat the hot side of the turbo with a torch? I think that's the only way the bolts are going...

    I'm assuming it's got a th350 in it. I'm going to have to check:biggrin: I had to put it on the back burner, I have a 71 Electra I'm parting out, I sold the 455, so I have to pull it. Bruce
