    Don't you wish your grandma's car was hot like mine! (non BMW content)

    I've been asked about it, so here is a thread on it. It's my 1981 Buick Regal Limited. Its dark blue met, with dark blue int and top. 231 V6 2bbl (3.8L). From what i can tell i'm the 3rd owner. The lady who had it before bought it in 85. I found the receipt for it in the glove box when it was bought new. At Messman Buick in Cumberland, MD on 6-2-81 for the some of $9263.00 The pictures below is the original Buick dealership it was sold at, its now some other buisness though.

    I got it with warped heads. And i'm not saying what i payed for it... But i got the heads done and freshened up the top end. It has ice cold A/C. And a posi! but it has like 2.7X gears lol. Some things it needs are the bumper fillers and the headliner redone. It has a Pioneer KP-5500 that was stuck in it sometime in the early 80's. It rides like a dream! And i drive it like an old man. Only thing that i may mod on it is, i may put a factory 4bbl on it and a 84-85 Grand National chin spoiler.

        I always loved these buicks. I would leave it stock. Perfect for cruising. I would assume it isn't exactly fast?

            Nice ol school Buick. I actually bought this 2005 Century Special Edition for my grandfather this morning. He came back from overseas last week and is spending a year touring the states, I got the Buick to drive around til he goes back home.

                    Guess I am getting to be known 'round these parts?

                    That's an old school Buick 3.8 odd fire engine. It's a derivative of the "Buick Fireball" v8, with 2 cyls chopped off.

                    That is the TTtype and Grand National's little brother ;)
