1979 Buick Regal Cold Start

Started the Regal after sitting in sub-zero temps for two weeks.

The same buzzer from this Buick Regal was also used on the 1985-90 Buick Electras which were downsized so they no longer counted as true full-size cars so they switched back to a scary buzzer.

I had 1979 also. . I bought it from a widow. Husband passed away and she had it in her garage for a few years. This was in 1987. The son actually sold it to me.. At the time, it had only 27,000 miles and I bought it for $ 2,700. ( go figure lol )I saved up. It was my very 1st car . I had just graduated HS a year earlier. Its was asparagus green . I put an Alpine stereo system in it.. Any man will tell you , you always remember your 1st car . Watching this brung good memories. Especially when you showed the interior gages . Thank you.

[@bpatterson1846]

Hahaha! They get on my nerves! Same with the Delta 88/LeSabre "tone" type warning buzzer.

[@auaiao9]

It looks like you lucked into a good car for free.

[@dexterro6010]

auaiao9 Thanks! Sure did! Very lucky and pleased with it. Can't wait to get it on the road.

Nice 4.9 "Pontiac" Engine ! (or is it a 4.3 ?). BEAUTIFUL !!

[@jordanwiley4582]

301 pontiac. Perfect for a 350, or 400 pontiac swap.

[@fanboy11thefanfanatic]

Maybe

[@mattbartolovich8228]

350

[@kcindc5539]

It’s the 4.9. In ‘79 most were sold with the Buick 3.8, with the Pontiac 4.9 and Chevy 5.0 optional, with the Turbo 3.8 offered on the Sport Coupe. Our ‘79 was the first of two NA 3.8 Regals in a row, my pleas for any of the other engine choices having fallen on deaf ears. In retrospect it was probably wise my dad chose the slowest option as he was perpetually on the verge of having his license suspended.

[@roadranger221]

Do you still have it? Want to sell it.

[@dexterro6010]

Nope I gave it to my uncle for his classic car collection.

[@jolly7728]

Could use a piece of sheet metal to fill in that gap between the rear bumper and the body. Shouldn't be too hard to cut the metal and shape it to size and then paint it. Did that with a 1977 Buick Regal. The fix looked like the original panel or better.

Would you be willing to sell it ?

[@dexterro6010]
