    That thing would really rock with an intercooled Turbo Regal engine transplanted between the fenders! :yup:

    I build stand alone harnesses for GM LS V8's and Duramax engine swaps so the gears are already turning in my head...

    Anybody local that can go and look?

    The end of the year is brutal for me at work and hard to get away for any kind of recreational travel. I can pay for your time.

    Ken, I don't usually recommend this, but if this is one you REALLY like, and it's within your budget range, You might just want to jump on it. These Buick Regal wagons are pretty rare, and this one looks like it's been taken care of. I think your risk would be pretty low.

    Might want to ask for some interior photos. Might be fairly low option. Owner mentions only A/C and tilt wheel.

    Spoke to the owner. I'm trying to figure out the transport. Getting it shipped directly seems to be a problem. They are looking at 3 different companies handing off the car. First handoff would be Nashville then Lake City then Orlando. Not sure I like the idea of the car being loaded and unloaded 3 times.

    Very helpful website for getting multiple transport quotes:

    Good luck! Looks like a terrific car! (y)

    There's gotta be someone out there that will do a non-stop transport. I had mine shipped from San Francisco to Atlanta non-stop. Keep looking. Good luck getting this purdy wagon to your doorstep!

    I have used U-Ship to ship cars twice; each time over 950 miles. They took about two weeks to broker the load, but each time the cars arrived on a hauler directly and the drivers were prompt in contacting me on the details of the move.
