There's lot's of room in the front and back. Great stock radio if you're lucky to find one unmodified.
It's also good for piling in your school buddies too!
Great visibility, low cost maintenance.

I loved this car but it didn't love me. The Turbo died after a few months and without the Turbo the car was a real pig. Then the gas tank started to leak, the paint started to peel, and I let the car go for about $500.00 to a guy that promptly wrecked it. Maybe I got out just in time!

This was my first car. I loved it and wish I never got rid of it. It was a pimp looking car with a nice V8, comfortable, roomy and just cool in a Saturday Night Fever sort of way. I wish I still had it and miss it greatly.Mar 30, 2010

my uncle walter had a black regal that looked like a gnlx and i loved it so i bought this one , it had the 3.8 liter six banger......I had a sick stero system and did some interior mods, , I was 19 and a dumb ass and put a sticker on the back window "power from the gods" A hiFonics logo, that caught the attention of the loacl thieves and , one morning i came out the steroe was gone the next day it was on the rotrs, My rims got stolen,,, The car was bad luck after that, the windows got smashed in and off to the recycler.. 50$ hard csah..Mar 21, 2010

First car I learned to drive on. I was 16 yrs old. The car was 3
years old at that time. My Father special ordered it from a
local Buick garage in 1979. Black w/red plush limited interior
spoked wheels with raised white BFG tires. That car turned
heads everywhere. Weekends were exciting just anticipating
goin' out cruisin' and impressing girls. Car had plenty of
power. Asking for trouble with 87 octane! Detonation galore.
Burnt hole at top of number 6 piston and had to be replaced.
After that, Premium gas only.Car was totaled in 1984 Parents
were in accident by reckless driver of Truck. Fortunately
Parents were O.K.Jun 07, 2009

I love the way it looks with the older muscle car look and it has the coolest interior it is red with a wood steering wheel and trim! It has a 4.9 V-8 engine so it can get up and go and it gets around 17-23 mpgApr 02, 2008

owned this car for about a year and a half
right away, i replaced the old Tubro 350 with a 200r4 transmission, so.. 3 speed to a 4 speed overdrive automatic transmission.
K&N air filter.
Duel exhaust was also added with 40 series flowmasters. ( LOUD!!!)
added 295 50 tires. so almost 13inchs of tire across.
Us MAg rims, deep dish
there was very littel rust on the car. Had 1 bad spot that my manager and i took care of on a day off.
drive for a little. Then sold it to get my 81 cutlass
To bad the oil pump went it in, to the guy i sold it too.. maybe its better that i sold.
i bout from a friend his Buick 350. going to build it up and put it in the regal. that would have been a damn power engine. but there expensive to build. RARE engine, hard parts to find, and parts arent cheap
