This is a factory WH1 hardtop car which come 3 tone, with blackout package and this one came with gray bucket seat interior. At the time of this writing, the car has approximately 88K miles, but I still drive this occasionally so the miles may increase a bit. Some highlights pertaining to the car and general descriptions of condition are outlined below: Mechanical: This car has been converted to E85 specifications for superior performance, reliability and exceptional idle quality. This conversion includes a “Turbo Tweak” chip, low impedance 57# injectors, Scanmaster, hotwire kit, Red's Double pumpers and a Red Armstrong volt booster. It also has a Hooker 2 ½” exhaust. Modified ECM/ New Valve springs, ported throttlebody/intake. I replaced the stock Electric Fan with a high low unit from a 2006 LS1 Camaro. It also has a 160 degree thermostat and this car never runs above 180 degrees with ac on a hot summer day. It is still running the factory turbo and intercooler 19-24 lbs. boost. Adjustable FPR regulator, EGR Block off plate. This combination results in a very quick-spooling, streetable package that is loads of fun which also allows a solid foundation for future upgrades. I have not run this car in the ¼ mile nor am I interested in doing so...my intended goal with these modifications was to have a quick, reliable and streetable package that I could jump in and take on a 300 mile road trip without worry. The drive train is in great condition and runs, shifts and drives great. The transmission is a fully built unit with hardened input shaft alto bands deep pan. Shifts are very firm and positive. As for the converter it is a re-stalled D5. This car also has g80 posi rear end with performance upper and lower control arms with an upgraded heavy duty sway bar for better handling. The rear end is also "girdled" with a TA cover and ARP fasteners. Body: I bought this car when it had just received an all black paintjob a few years ago. Paint looked good so i never worried about bringing it back to the 3 tone original paint scheme until it showed some wear. Since then the car has been always stored in a carport with a cover but thru the years has had various nicks, chips and regular street driven vehicle wear. I have some pictures of the car prior to paint which I can provide upon request. The chrome bumpers have no dings, rust or blemishes.The trunk and passenger compartment floors are clean. Interior: Aside from the addition of an in dash CD player, Scanmaster, pillar gauges afr/boost and console gauges which consist of oil and water temp gauges and custom floor mats as pictured, the interior is as it left GM in 1986. It is in exceptional condition given its age and the seats and door panels show very little wear. The factory original carpet does show some staining in the typical areas. Given these issues, I would critically rate the interior an 7 out of 10. The car has COLD AC and hot heat. The cruise control works great as well. Wheels/Tires/Suspension:The factory turbine wheels (with 4 center caps)This car drives and stops dead straight with no pulling or alignment issues whatsoever. Tires were replaced a few months ago and still have over 95% Tread. Summary/Price: Overall, this is a very, very nice, rare car that you could be proud to drive or show anywhere. I would not consider this a quality trailer queen, but a decent turbo regal that runs and drives beautifully. I have enjoyed this car a great deal in the years I have owned it. I no longer have the time or interest in this car I once had. Although I am looking to sell the car, I am not faced with a “must sell” situation.
