There is nothing cheap about a clean regal or grand national body either.
Paul, Let's look at it this way.
Natural T car, so in U/SA , it weighs over 200 lbs less than a 273 Plymouth (2 bbl, 174 hp) .We recently saw one of those running .85 under.
So, how much faster would the Buick be in U/SA? I'm sure you have an idea.


BTW an old clapped out Regal ,231 can't be worth too much ..It can be an 81 or newer, I would think. ;-)
