It hasn't been driven since 2002, my mom started out not feeling very well, then became fairly sick, so it was never driven.. mom passed away in 2003, the buick sat in the garage at my parents house until I moved my dad in with us in 2005, I then moved it to our garage, where it has been ever since.

Please do not feel bad about your question my friend.. but I'll tell ya, if she is driving it, that would be something to see!! LOL! I will get some pics of it here quick.

Probably up hanging out with my Mom, talking about what their sons are doing with their cars! You should see if you can get it going.

Yeah, since it's already white, that's half the battle.. (you can probably figure out one of the paint schemes I've been kicking around.. 'cept the flames would be ghost) but it runs great, I would still like to warm up the engine a little.. my mom was a hotrodder, so she ordered anything performance wise she could get on any car she owned. It sure sounds mean when you fire 'er up!

And I'll bet that thing boogies with that 455 in it!

Yep it does!! I gotta go the the store.. back in a while!!

Later bud!

Good evening Wyoming, and Lanny!

A 73 Buick Regal would be a very big car by todays standards.

Good morning Wyoming, Friday has arrived!!

Good Morning Wyoming, Rick, Pat, and all!! Happy Friday!!
Her is a pic of the completed engine compartment.. I added this to my album as well...

Morning Lanny! That sure is purdy! Love that engine cover.

Yeah.. LOL! I think its something like 18' long, I will measure it to see.

It sure changes the look of it! If you look at the original pics I posted you'll see right off the bat that during the reveal the truck was not finished.. the hoses heading into the firewall is part of the GEN II air conditioning and heating system, especially made for this truck... ahh, the joys of reality television.. LOL!!!

Yeah, I see that now. I'm going with a similar system from Vintage Air.

Good evening Wyoming and Lanny!

That sure is a neat engine bay.

Have Fun today all Ye Fine Folks.........:-wink
