Upgrades include - 7 stage "Ultrachip"; 145 mph speedometer, 30 lb. boost gauge, chromic breather bypass kit, chrome oil fill tube breather, 42 1/2 pound fuel injectors, adjustable pressure regulator, high performance fuel pump, adjustable watergate actuator, "Duttweiller" modified intercooler neck, intercooler air scoop, chromed mass air flow pipe. "Hooker" performance crossover pipe, 3" downpipe, "Hooker" total exhaust system - 2 1/2 " , low restriction flow catalytic converter . TPS-TEC throttle enhancer, mag-plug wire set, intercooler hose set, 160 degree thermostat, mass air flow sensor. All the work was done by Poston.

-20k miles
-Original Paint 7 out of 10
-Small "outy" ding left rear quarter
-Peg leg
-Car shifts hard and has good pull even though it is on only 8-10lbs of boost. He said it is making about 380HP and can run 12's. That seems a bit hopeful to me.
-Brakes are terrible. No brake light at all when you turn the key on, brake lag when you stab them and the light flicks on for a second.
-Lifter tick(It is not the injectors). Sounds like it is coming from the driver side right behind alternator/Valve cover.
-Car does not rattle and T-tops do not leak nor show signs of ever leaking.
-Interior is pretty good besides usual problems associated with a regal.
-Usual leaks (Rear Main Valve Covers etc)

Just curious what people think it is worth. I know what he paid for it a few years ago and what he has into it now but the lifter concerns me plus the additional money right away to make it road safe.

Thanks
 
21 Views and no opinions? On this board? you gotta be kidding me :biggrin:
 
i would say that 380hp is way way way pushing it, does it have aftermarket turbo? with the 'lifter noise' and the other bad things that you listed, i would say no more then 7000.

Stock turbo.

It sounds like 1 bad lifter. The car ran great no smoke etc but I can't get that tick out of my head. The body has 0 rust except on the under-carriage which is superfacial. I have pics but they are too large to post here.

BTW that is 20k original miles not 120k.
