    Hi Nando - several years ago (2011 or so) I did a photo shoot for my brother. I had this photo enlarged & framed and it hung on his wall for many years.
    It is good to hear from you - it would be great to meet up sometime- maybe next summer when we hopefully can get together. Keep in touch.

    Wow... beautiful car and awesome story!

    Sorry about your brother Randy. I lost my brother as well in 2016... and it's tough sometimes. I still have his 74 Malibu, though it is no where near as nice as that Regal.

    Wow! This car is amazing! I cannot wait to get my 6.0 LS swapped 77/76 completed! It is nowhere near the condition of yours though.

    Got any interior shots?

    Randy: You take exceptional photos. I will continue looking after your brother's Regal. There were a few car show dash plaques in the Regal when I bought it -most likely from shows your brother attended. I have attended a few car shows since getting it and I get lots of compliments about it at the shows and out in the general public. I am honest about it and say the car was well-taken care of and tastefully modified before I got it.

    A get-together with Johnny last year. His two Buicks in the foreground.

    My wife, Geri, loves driving it and cruising with me. We took it to Vancouver Island for a vacation and travelling on the gently-winding Island Highway was nice. The Regal is high-geared, so it loafed along at 120 kph (80 mph).

    Can you please tell me what tires you are using for this car? It is time to replace the tires on my buick and I want the same tires that you have.

    @Norman Martin: Rear tire size is P275/60R15 and front is P225/70R15. The rear Rallye rims were widened to accommodate the large tires. Don't know by how much (most likely 1"), as this had been done prior to me owning it.

    Good to know I can save money from not having to install curb feelers.

    Thanks and I absolutely love how they fit. I hate the curbing of wheels.
