[Wahoo]

It's a turbo car but the floors are rotted just noticed :/ like sagging..... Didn't go through with it.... What do u think price wise, needs a lot and floors...

Don't buy it till you get the vin checked.I have never seen a 84 t type with a vinyl roof.Could be a clone.Get engine pics too.

I checked the vin on the title and reg, it's a turbo car. It actually doesn't have a vinyl top but the pic makes it seem like it does..... If it didn't need floors I would of bought it.

when you say needs floors how bad are you really talking? Like the entire floor or just the fronts or just 1 side. You can buy premade floor pans pretty cheap. The main problem would be if the frame hump at the back wheels is rotting which is common. Frame rot means no go unless you're making a drag car. With rotting floors it would all come down to how the engine/trans is. I the engine runs well and the trans is in good condition then the floor pans can be fixed especially if you plan are repainting it anyway. Also find out about the A-pillars since it's a T-Top car they rust more easily than a hard top. I would say 2k at the most.

Well the engine stalled when idling it needs all the exhaust, tranny is apparently brand new rebuilt as it looks it except pan might be leaking. The floor has dents from people's feet that's how rusty it is, like with no carpet you'd fall through. Tires aren't the right size, rims look horrible. Do you think it's worth 2k?

Brake pedal goes almost to the floor and has brake light on, checked master and it has fluid... Check engine light on too.

walk away. dont waste your time. Dont be in a hurry to buy, spend a little more and get something better.

it would make a decent $1500 project car or a good parts donor for another Regal shell.

Run away !!!

Ya with all that new stuff you just mentioned is wrong with it either run or offer him 1k and maybe do $1500 max, but unless you have alot or advil or like a challenge it's gonne be more trouble than its worth. You're probably going to spend more time working on it than driving it. Like the others said just walk away.

it would make an awesome drivetrain/suspension donor for a G body station wagon- maybe even put the t tops in the wagon just to be different- and the shell would be worth a few hundred dollars for either scrap or for someone to make into a stock car or whatever.
