The ‘84 Regal is *kind of* a sleeper. I bet it doesn’t sound like a sleeper, though.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Long_Voyager, Now With More Caravanny Goodness 11/12/2018 at 17:19

I’d rock that wagon.

The engine in the ‘84 looks more like an Olds 455 than a Buick to me, a decided non-expert on the subject. If so that would be disappointing for reasons that I can’t quite explain.

Weird story on the Electra - and I’m confused by the fact that it seems to have a super nice interior except that the door cards appear to be completely trashed. Window seal problems, I suppose.

And that blue wagon is very nice!

Wondering if it isn’t part of the 2 failed restores?

I just love “rust free” listings which show visible rust in the pictures.

Given what I know about these, I’m going to bet the rear frame is also rotted, as that usually started going to hell before the body started showing rust.

That’s not rust, that’s patina, patina makes it worth more...........

A modded 455 in a Regal sounds fun regardless of Olds or Buick.

I would put electronic cutouts on it so it sounded stock until the light went green ;)

Could very well be - - I doubt the seat coverings are original, they’re too nice.

Ugh - didn’t know that the frames were problems on these.  I thought that the bodies usually rusted out first on most BOF cars, at least based on my experience.

Rear axle back rotted like crazy.

Mine was quite clean body wise, having only 50k original miles, but the rear frame/trunk floor had to be completely rebuilt before I put it on the road.
