Buick Regal GS
I always liked these. They had the newer Series II 3800 (205 hp instead of 165) but in the older, smaller, lighter body style before the redesign
I have a story about one of these cars...
Back in HS a friend’s parents had one. Also back then all my school friends were alcoholics/addicts/partiers. I wasn’t, but I liked cars & loved to drive, so I was frequently the designated-driver. We were out cruising the countryside one night with another friend, and they both dropped acid. The fiend who’s parents owned the car started having a bad trip & was curled up in the back seat thinking he was dying, so our other friend crawled back there trying to consol him. All the while I had the stereo cranked & just kept rolling through the countryside. I have no idea how any of us survived those days.
1991 325i vert/5spd $1550, needs head put back on, but otherwise doesn’t look too bad.

Detroit: 1990 Pontiac Bonneville SSE (with the 3800), $700, calls it a parts car but still looks pretty good
Facebook Link
POOOOOP it’s sold already. Maybe it was my imagination but my 90 Bonneville seemed to handle way better than the 89 Olds Delta 88. Did respectable at the autoX too
and I always loved those GTA style wheels.
Transmissions were the weak spot for sure. The 3800 was a fantastic engine

1990 Super Coupe $900
I have a pulley that will spin this blower to the ragged edge, not that I've researched m90 blowers or anything
Here’s another cheap E30 for $800.
Radwood-ready 92 SL Benz for $900. Of course there’s only 1 pic & the description is only “Project car”, but damn does it have the look!

Wheels and hardtop and your money is doubled
Gran Prix GTP
This thing is a smaller pulley and sticky tires away from a win. And a nuked transmission.

$1500 2006 Mustang manual V6 with low compression. Looks to be in great shape otherwise.
Who wants to buy this LX-E and hold it for me until challenge time? We can do a parking lot build to fix all the damage.

84 Prelude
First car I ever wrenched on was an 84 prelude. Interestingly, same issue - headgasket or cracked head/block.

If the Renault still has the original 2 liter engine (can't tell from the pic) they go like stink and handle well, unlike a 1.4 or 1.7 Alliance.
