How much have you guys spent

[SBCregal]

im not scared to say i have around 30,000 in it and its still a hotair car. i love turbo buicks and i will keep putting money into it. i have owned the car since i was 13. i bought it with my own money and i love the car way to much.

Amen to that! I bought my Regal when I was 15...busted my ass everyday to come up with the money. When I finally got it, all of my buddies always ragged on me for drivin an '83 N/A brick. But I started savin up again (didn't save quite enough for a nasty 231) and shoved in a small block with some spray and went F-body hunting....:biggrin: I've had people come to me offerin' STUPID money for the car, but I could never do it its crazy how emotionally attached you can become to a car.

Maybe too much. Id estimate over $60k in the last 13 years. A lot of fun though. I want to see OTTO J's reply to this question.

Well, I'm only two years into it. I paid $3,000 for my car and have about $1,500 into it including tires. I just got it running properly after two years though. Also, considering the mileage I'm sure I'll put much more into it. I love my granny package though, so it'll be worth it!

Total 6k for me to buy, it came with new motor & turbo.

After two years I am now up to 7k for the alky & Russ Merrit tune & new accumulator. So 1 k is not too bad. anyone want to buy it for 10k?

see my sig

Got an Excel Spredsheet on my computer that I add to everytime I upgrade something, I prefer not to look at the total

I have about $16K in mine including the car itself (I bought it as a roller.) It still needs more stuff to go fast though. I have A LOT of my labor in it too.

Not too much, yet anyway.
About a grand on the sound system, although I had the two amps already (retail value is 3x that )
$200 on the yellow top battery which was in my other car before I got my GN
$360 getting all 4 ball joints replaced and getting the front shocks done (got the shocks from previous owner)
Through buying GTA wheels and selling my stock wheels + tires I only came out about $50 behind. 2 New tires, mounted and all was about $300 since they charged me for mounting 4 tires because I had the fronts tires put on the back.
$200 for a Scanmaster 2.1

 

[GNBRETT]

BETWEEN BOTH OF MY PREVIOUS CARS ABOUT $60K.
