1987 Buick Regal LS3 conversion

1987 Buick Regal Additional Info:

FOR SALE: 1987 Buick Regal LS3 conversion; was originally a Turbo Regal; chosen for conversion due to combination of a “worn out” original drive train in a 57,108 miles nonsmoker car without any rust and an excellent interior without any weird smells. Car was built to be an everyday driver that would occasionally go to the track and play with the LS crowd. Project has turned out as planned but other factors will not allow car to be used and enjoyed as hoped . Less than 8300 miles since completion of conversion. Here is a chance to own a g-body LS professional conversion that is totally ready to enjoy from day one. All options installed are working including a/c. Cruise control for this engine/transmission combo has not been installed. Design of installation allows for future options of supercharging or turbocharging. To be perfect the car needs a paint job. It had a repaint in the past but it was definitely done on a budget. Currently the car has a few paint chips and has two “outward” dings on the trunk lid from being closed on something just a little too tall. This car is for that person who is planning to do this conversion but has yet to start. Located in Northwest Arkansas. Best way to contact me is at deanpapageorge@gmail.com. The vehicle has no warranty written or implied. Potential buyers are encouraged to view the car personally before bidding. I will do my best to answer any additional questions. The winning bidder will be expected to submit a $500 deposit via Paypal within 24 hours of the close of the auction. Remainder of purchase price by direct wire deposit to my bank or a cashier’s check with the car released upon the check clearing the bank.
