Oh yeah, I forgot to mention its an 87 (last year of the rwd regal). I wish it was the T-type. I was thinkin of either tryin to find a turbo V6 for it (unlikely) or just swaping out the V6 in it for a nice healthy 406 long rod SBC. Comments or suggestions?

nice. not too much rust on the body. if the frame is good you should fix the car up and make it look / run nice.

is that a 305 engine or just a 6?

Yeah, the biggest rims and tires goin on this thing will probably be 15" street legal drag radials.

The frame is solid on the car and just surface rust on the frame. Very little rust on the rest of the car as well. It sat in a pasture for a few years so I was surprised the condition it was in.

Nice ride, wish I could find one for $500 in that shape around here, they're all rust buckets with gay wheels on them. Good find and good luck!

That's Buick's V6; easily recognizable by the front-mounted distributor.
