Looks like this section of the forum needs some attention, I have a couple older cars that are work in progress, both
are Buick Regals, closest in the picture is a 1974 and the other is a 1973, the 74 has a 350 and the 73 has a 455, not
really what you'd call muscle cars but they fit in my budget, both have original paint with new tops, the 74 is a Florida
car while the 73 came from Virginia, nice cruisers and both plenty fast for me.

350 Rocket motor in the 74? Both running and on the road Ken?

The 455 must be a healthy runner...

Not a Rocket just a Buick 350 and yes the 455 will scoot, both are running driving cars, other than needing interior touch ups and paint ( Paint is thin ) they could be every day drivers.

There is something about the older cars that is just missing from the newer models. They all seem to have more attitude

This is a video of a Buick Century, very similar just a different rear window and front park lights, old
videos is like a blast from the past.
