UlrichWolf Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Well, I started the hunt for a turbo Regal, and found what I considered to be a total gem. Check this out: http://www.youtube.c..._embedded#t=271 This is the first car I considered, and man, it looks cherry-pie. T-Type, T-Tops, fully equipped, all the same stuff as a Grand National. Then the CarFax offer came along today. So, I CarFaxed it. 08/03/1989 34,500 New Jersey Motor Vehicle Dept. Glassboro, NJ SALVAGE TITLE/CERTIFICATE ISSUED 05/01/1990 Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Dept. SALVAGE TITLE/CERTIFICATE ISSUED RECONSTRUCTED TITLE ISSUED 11/27/1991 Ohio Motor Vehicle Dept. Northfield, OH Title #770882386 Title issued or updated 11/22/1993 Ohio Police Report Stow, OH Case #19932891330 Accident reported Vehicle involved in crash with an animal 06/24/1994 59,346Ohio Motor Vehicle Dept. Kent, OH Title #6700110495 Title issued or updated 05/28/2003 North Carolina Motor Vehicle Dept. Harrisburg, NC Registration updated when owner moved the vehicle to a new location 05/29/2003 North Carolina Motor Vehicle Dept. Harrisburg, NC Title #772986031496144 Registration issued or renewed 04/10/2004 62,487 North Carolina Inspection Station Pineville, NCPassed emissions inspection 05/26/2004 Service Facility Emissions inspection completed Now.....this car was being sold on the premise that it had 34,827 miles on it, was as creampuff as they come, and just a general all around cherry-pie example of a turbo Regal. So, I called the dealer. The dealer turns out to be a consignment dealer, apparently how most classic cars are sold, and had no clue of the car's history, and was certain that the customer didn't either. One thing that was certain was that they will probably be telling the customer to get that car out of there, as they do not sell cars with branded titles. I admit, the car was more than I wanted to pay, but if the car was going to be incredible, I could probably put together the financing for something nice like that. Lesson learned - even if everything seems up and up......double check anyway. The hunt goes on. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strang3majik Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 there's a guy driving one around here, everyday. Its a T-type, it was either silver, or gun metal blue, t-tops. Its a descent driver...I think he was asking $2500 for it...not sure if he still has it though. Neat cars they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially a turbo one. But I'd never hear the end of it from your brother, who thinks they are the scourge of Satan.....I'm hoping a Regal will pass muster, LOL.

jszucs Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I built one a long time ago that was prety much total junk when I got it. Blown motor, turbo was shot, trans was shot, rear was on it's way out. And like redoing all cars it cost way more then buying one even with me doing the labor. Hands down they are awsome, try to get an I/C one. And if your serious I know where one is at that is as cherry as they come, and owned by someone who isjz about there cars to the point of carpeting there storage space and only NOS parts will do. I'm sure it would take them a chunk of change to convice them to sell so I don't know what you want to spend but I would guess they would want 30K or so.

Tim I'm hot a huge F-Body fan either, but I'd drive an '89 Anny model. Something else to think about... there's a '92 Typhoon in ElDorado for $6900 Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IGot4UGot8 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Any links on the typhoon? I don't know of anywhere it's listed online. I ran across it about a month ago when I was out there for work. I noticed it still there when we went through there Sunday. Guy said it's a 2 owner with 154K on it, adult owned. It's not in perfect shape, but worth checking out if someone has the cash. Red ext, black leather int. I believe. It's located on the north side of 54 about 1/2 mile into town.

MainstreaM Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Might not hurt to give it a good lookover. It may have been a stolen recovery with no body damage. T-types and GN's were pretty high on the most stolen list back in the day. If so, offer way less. I've had an S-10 stolen, thieves took it on a joy ride, no damage besides trashing the interior to get my radio. It was recovered later that night, thieves put in jail, and insurance totalled it because I filed a claim. Bought it back from the insurance company, replaced the cd player and trim, but had to have a salvage title since it was technically a "theft recovery".
