I'm starting a thread to let it be known, as I'm in the process of rebuilding this car and am in desire of information, photos, videos, stories about this car and the legacy/history it has laid within our community.
If you recognize the car, it's obvious you've been around for years and I'm sure remember it at BG.
I sadly was not around when this particular car was raced but will be bringing it back to its glory through out the years.
This is an 87 Turbo Regal Limited. Cream Beige, factory moonroof, W02 'black out package', brown interior car.
It's unknown the exact miles, but the guess is anywhere from 10-20k miles.
Owned and raced by Bob Peterson of Minnesota and named 'Six Shooter'.
Make note: This is not the same car as the red, back halved, fiberglass front end Regal which he raced from the 99 GS Nationals and leading up to him selling it.
I have spoke with Jack Pendzimas and got some great information regarding the car and I would like to gather as much as I can, because the information, stories and people wont be around forever.
The car has had some neglect and has surprisingly survived without hail damage, rust and major issues.
It's journey since about 1999:
After taking the engine out of this car and putting it into the Red back halved Regal, the car was sold to a friend of Bob's who took the 9 inch rear end out. Well the car started to get repainted by his friends Son (which is why parts are silver) but then sat without any work to be done.
The car was thrown in on a deal to Jack and after he took possession of the car, it was put in the woods behind his shop for a few years.
Car was sold to Dick Walker, where the intentions were to take it back to it's glory as well. With many other products and dedications, this was not seen through and it sat outside the majority of it's time in the Oklahoma weather.
All the while during the last 10 years I had always gazed with wonder and dreams to see it on the strip again and ultimately, I became the owner! I am dedicated, motivated and prepared for the long haul to rebuild the car.
The cage will have to be cut out as it will not certify and is unsafe, in the incident I crash and flop onto the roof.
A 7.50 legal cage will be put in sometime next year.
A lot more items will be addressed and upgraded.
As it's been told, I 'have your work cut out for you'.
I'm excited for the journey and adventures this car brings.
I'd like to ask anyone with information, stories, photos, anything that will help me preserve the history, information about this car and the legacy it has helped to build. I'd appreciate it if anyone wanted to call me as I'll provide my phone number in a private message.
This car will be back on the drag strip and will get the attention it deserves and will be back to what it once was but a lot more.
Attached are some photos of the car.
