1983 Buick Regal (T Type look alike)

1983 Buick Regal limited Description

For sale is my 1983 Buick Regal Limited with all the characteristics of a T Type and none of the complications of the Turbo v6. This car was a standard v6 car that I converted to a V8 install with a SBC 350 and TH 350 out of a 77 malibu. The engine and transmission have both been completely rebuilt and come with receipts. The car says around 55,000 on the speedo but Im sure it has rolled over and I have only put 5,000 mile on this car since the build. My dream car has always been a T Type but I could never afford one so I built the closest thing I could to one by using the best of two other parts cars plus this one giving it all the best features. Now I have been able to achieve what I thought was impossible, I bought my 1987 Turbo T that I always wanted so I have to sell this Regal and make room for my new car. I took my time and really paid attention to the little things not worrying about resale and if I could get my money back mainly because I never planned to get rid of it, now it is clear that I will have to sell this car far below what I have invested but my loss is your gain. This car needs very little to make it complete and all the hard and expensive work is done. This is a desert car so rust is not an issue so you can buy this car knowing it is solid. Here is a list off the top of my head of the things and parts that I have installed.

I’m sure that I am leaving out some things but this is what I can think of right now. I have you tube videos posted thru different parts of the build under “Author Travis W.” and I have a PP slide show of all the pictures I took along the way. Now that I own both a real t type and the car I built I still enjoy starting this car and hearing the deep tone of the flow masters and watching the whole car rock each time I hit the throttle. Before you bid on this car please call me so that I can make sure you have all the information possible to make your decision including answering any questions, taking video and sound clips, ect. My number is 505 360 6957 and I am located in NM in the four corners area. I have tons of money in this car so you will be ahead in the game with this purchase.
