Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: The $200,000 Turbo Buick Regal?
Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: The $200,000 Turbo Buick Regal?-February 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:20

You ready for It's ready for you! Today we've got a really interesting one: the original prototype Gale Banks Buick turbocharged V6 engine- the one that led to the Grand National- installed in a Full Mullet Airbrush Mural Overload '81 Regal… and priced at two hundred grand. That engine, if legit, is certainly worth plenty, but that car somehow doesn't look six-figure-y. What do you think?

Thanks to for the tip!

For $4,850, Could This 1987 VW GTI Hot Hatch Bring The Heat?
For $4,850, Could This 1987 VW GTI Hot Hatch Bring The Heat?
What is it they say, the second time’s a charm? Today’s GTI is a MkII and with its seemingly solid body and 16V engine it seems all kinds of charming. Let’s just see if its price makes you do a double take. Hey party people, guess what! The Mid Engine...

Just because something’s not morally sound doesn’t mean that you can’t objectively enjoy it. Just ask Hannibal Lecter. Sure, he was a psychopath with a penchant for the finer things in life; things like illegally poached Beluga Caviar, authentic Paté du Foie Gras and well conditioned human livers. But at...

The ad for today’s FFR GTM says it’s being sold AS IS. That AS IS seems to be pretty desirable, but we’ll still have to see if its price has you saying AS IF! Modest power, a digital dash, and an upright body that looked like a car, and not...

For $25,500, Could This 2005 Lotus Elise Be The Key To Popularity?

The seller of today’s Lotus says NOT to buy it if you’re married and weak willed. That’s because he suggests you will get propositioned in it unceasingly. Let’s find out if you’ll have no problem saying no to this little troublemaker’s price. Yesterday’s was the ultimate expression of America’s mid-enginer...

Today’s Mazda was called the 626 here in the U.S. while it went by Capella in other counties. This one is nicely kitted with a turbo and a five speed stick. Let’s see if that and its price has you singing ”Ah, Capella.” It’s a rare instance when, upon its...

Today’s Mercedes W203 features not just one but two tuners modding it out. We’ll see if all that adds up to a price that has you tuning out. You know, it’s not just what you are selling, nor how much you are asking for it that can determine whether a...
