1979 Turbo Regal

[byeoffiser]

Hi Guys I have an opportunity to purchase a 79' Turbo regal, the car is complete, I'm just looking for some info on these. How are the drivetrain components, are parts expensive opposed to later GN's. Just looking for some general info on these.

Thanks Dexter

They're pretty hard to make fast from what I understand. Carbs + turbos don't mix very well.

On gnttype.org there is an article about getting a carbed turbo regal to run 14.9 from 17.9 or something. Definately read that article. You good with carb tuning? Better be if you get into one of these cars..

You're honestly better off getting a later fuel injected hot-air car if you can't afford (or don't want?) an '86-'87 intercooled car, that's my non-expert opinion.
