I knew you were going to say that LOL!

I will leave the red Buicks cars to you!
 
Leave it red and change the decals or do a inexpensive wrap that way you never take away from the cars history if you ever go to sell it.... That car with Will Wilkersons engine would be crazy!!! Glad to see you get this Shane and glad to see it kept in the community...

As awesome as the Buick V6 engine is, the fact is that there is a limit to the engine's performance as well as the Regal aerodynamics. They were spending untold $$ just for possible tenths at this stage in the game. If I had to guess I would say they just decided "what's the point anymore". They certainly have nothing left to prove with that car and it will always be "the first" to many performance levels.

Same reason I sold mine - no real place or purpose to run other than just for exhibition and bragging rights and not fast enough to run with the big boys. Most people have no clue the amount of time and cubic $$$ it takes to run a car (especially a Buick V6) at that level. If you're smart, you get to the point that your pocketbook overrides your ego.

If anybody needs an engine for this car, hit me up. One of the most powerful Stage motors ever built and it's FRESH. It talks to me every day as I walk past it sitting on a stand in the corner of the shop - I'll eventually do something totally irresponsible like stuffing it in my street car if it sits around here too long.

The short story is!! It has been for sale for a couple of years now. John is 75 years old and has pretty much accomplished everything. He has been ready to retire for sometime , but still had the car, and the passion to push the envelope. Kenny had repaired the rocker shaft problems that they had at the GS nationals and the car was ready to go to a race out there this weekend ?? Someone from the middle east (Daubi ??) called Kenny needing a engine and wasnt willing to wait the 8-9 months Kenny told him it would take to build one. Bottom line -- the motor out of the red car is probably in Daubi as I type this. That left the car with no motor , and John said it was time for HISTORY to change hands. That story was told to me by John last week when he offered me the car. Unfortuatly I could not swing the purchase , but I see it will go to a good home!!!

Shane - Please be carefull with this one!! She is a beauty!!! If I can help you in any way please feel free to contact me.
