[greeneyegi]

I constantly look through craigslist for tb's even though I dont need another and found this locally.....https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/d/sunnyvale-1981-buick-regal-1987-grand/7887039323.html
Interesting exhaust.

Headers look like they turned upside down?

Wow that's a lot of work and not a fan of the WGs venting through the hood though maybe at WOT it's cool to see the exhaust come through and then coat the windshield. Hahaha

A lot of work done for $20k

Right??
Paint and bodywork could be that alone.
Those HRE wheels and tires are an easy 10k.

Maybe this link will work. I had to copy/ paste.

First, Good Luck To THAT Guy With His Sale.

I haven't any fabricating skills, but that LS looks like a 3rd grade shop class installed it. Are there 3rd grade shop classes?

I digress...

Sorry, that's just what I think. And I went back and looked again, and again. And I work with fabricators, so I do know a li'l bit.

Yes, it was a boat ton, heck of a lot of work but, in the end, did it make the car any better than the Regal it once was, or ruin it's value in Tijuana as a Taxi? LOL

The wheels, again, that's in the eye of the beholder... I'll say it now, I'm a geezer, so I can take or leave the big wheels on cars... Again, his car.

Everything but the hood looks straight, bodywise. A resurection, perhaps?

Not my circus, not my giraffes.

I shall leave you all now.

To those that don't get it, this is sarcasm, ...mostly...

The interior is listed as "10/10" but the headliner is starting to sag and the B pillar trim is cracked pretty bad, and that's just with a quick glance. Might be worth 20k, but it's not a 10/10 interior.

I'm with Guy on this one....
That engine plumbing is nasty....... And rusty.
From the appearance it looks like it's been sitting in a dust storm.
That 4L60 will last about 2 good hi boost launches.
No mention of the engine internals. A "JYD"??
In any case, GLWS!
