I have a '79 with an intercooled setup in it. Just need the front accessories and fuel system installed. I am asking $3000.

I have the bumpers, headlight bezels, and it has '84 GN seats. I also have a trunk full of parts including turbo and the intercooler.

One owner car from a very well to do family in Denver. This is the great grandmothers car. This was her 'baby' and she absolutely loved this car. The paint job came about as a result of the paint flying off the car like most of them did during that period and she just hated it so she paid a local body shop a very handsome sum to do it right for her. The color match is perfect and the prep work was stellar. it came out very good.

I see a lot of these in the forums (mostly 79's and later) and the one thing I never see on any of them are these rims. The family assured me they were the stock rims that came with the car. They are in great shaoe for chrome rims and the center caps are all their and in perfect condition.

This car was not 'kept'. It was, in fact, her daily driver but in typical grand lady fashion, she took absolutely perfect care of the car and the dealer she bought it from was the servicing dealer until they went out of business.

Now, here's a list of the things wrong with the car.

1. Problems
2. Right front spring is weak and car lists a little to the passenger side.
3. The valve covers are seeping oil a bit, probably due to the age of the car.
4. The tailshaft seal in the tranny is seeping
5. The vacuum hoses to the charcoal canister have gotten hard and need replacement.
6. There is a little sun fading on the dash along with a very small crack in the plastic near one of the speaker vents
7. The clock quit...
8. The fuel tank leaks out the top when full (probably a rotten hose)
9. The carpet is loose and a little worn, evidence of being a driver.
10. The headliner is original and is starting to separate
11. The seats are also showing a nominal amount of wear but are intact with no rips or separations

It's just a great car. I bought it with every intention of keeping it and making it whole again but Obama and his tax goons have made it necessary for me to sell it. I will entertain any worthwhile offer at this time.

Their the original rims all right! I sure would love to buy it, but three is just too many ! (3 Regals)
I can't imagine you'll have a problem finding a buyer, and I'm glad were so far away as my wife
would be "sending me to pack" ... (I'd be getting this car)

Thanks for the story, and I marvel at your luck !
