1979 Turbo Buick Regal 3.8L TurboHas Body & Engine Issues, but Includes Many Recent PartsSerious Bidders Only - Please read description fully before bidding This car has been in my family since it was purchased in 1979, and I have extensive service documentation. It's been a great vehicle, but at this point it's essentially a parts car for anyone who might have a project of their own. I've been told that this particular turbo engine with carburetor is pretty rare. In addition to engine parts, the hood, bumpers, fenders, and interior parts may really come in handy for someone.
