August 27, 200619 yr Take the hood scoop, wing, silly badges and bumper sticker off it and I love it.....................I wouldnt have welded the rear door but I kinda like window delete and somehow the red looks good, whodathunkit. Hmm ? Sitting, look out the window at my 90 Regency as we speak...............
August 28, 200619 yr Ain't exactly tasteful, but still beats those japanese 'wing n spike' monstrosities hands-down.
August 28, 200619 yr Ain't exactly tasteful, but still beats those japanese 'wing n spike' monstrosities hands-down. 185626[/snapback] actually, thats a very good point
August 28, 200619 yr I think I'd have to see this in person, to truly appreciate it. Hmm....

August 28, 200619 yr Fly! you missed the most important feature.... the shag pad 185673[/snapback] me car
August 28, 200619 yr Dig the webasto sunroof, but not much else; enough beer and a Milwaukee Sawzall and maybe my buddy Nate's '89 Electra T-Type can end up the same way!
August 28, 200619 yr The only thing I like about this is the fact it has nozzles on the back that shoot water about 10 feet--perfect for people tailgating
August 28, 200619 yr Fly! you missed the most important feature.... the shag pad 185673[/snapback] Wow, that crushed velour interior is almost good enough to snort coke on.
August 28, 200619 yr Oh dear lord... wow. So for like 0.25 sec. I thought there might be a tiny bit of redeming value in this car when I saw the 4.6 liter turbo. Here I'm thinking if this guy managed to stuff a tubocharged Northstar into this Buick then at least he's got some mechanical ability but as I should have assumed... the auction states that the car has the stock 3800. So it is basically the domestic version of a "Cheap-Tech" powered Honda from the late 80s with V-TECH Si-R Mugen emblems. What a freekin' tool. "I love my wife"
August 28, 200619 yr Hideous... I wonder what kind of mental illness people have that causes them to do nonsense like this to a car...
August 28, 200619 yr Is it normal for there to be no bids on something that's been out for a while? I know people usually don't do the bidding war until the time is almost expired which is several days away, but, NO ONE bid on it
August 28, 200619 yr There would have been no bids if it was stock, there is no interest in 80's four door cars on ebay. Hard enough to sell them locally now adays. They are 20 years old. LeSabre T-types are hard to sell on Ebay. Grand Prix TGP's are hard to sell now adays. By coinsidence I passed an old 2dr Regency today. Havent seen one of them in quite awhile. I was thinking that would be a great car for this window closeout and shaved handles. It gives a bit of a limo look. Those seats are so comfortable. Maybe Ill take the windows out of the Ciera Wagon........................
August 29, 200619 yr I wonder if they have a game during trips called "Guess What's In The Blind Spot?" (My first guess would be a Mack truck...)

(My first guess would be a Mack truck...) 186030[/snapback] If you know about Mack trucks, you should also know that there is no such thing as a blind spot................especially in a car that has 3 mirrors.
August 30, 200619 yr In the Automotive (dealer) industry we say "There's an a$$ for every seat" This car might be the one to prove that proverb to be incorrect. If there's a person outside the original owner & customizer that likes this thing I'd be shocked.
August 30, 200619 yr I can appreciate the fact that the bodywork in the rear was apparently done very well (the seams for the rear door aren't noticable), but the rest....wow.
