Featured Car - Dave Young's 1987 Turbo Regal

A grey ghost...
Dave lives in Ontario and has this very pretty example of a Canadian Turbo Regal. Dave has had the car for the last 6 years and it has 175,000 km. (or approximately 105,000 miles). The motor, transmission, and rear end are still original.

Dave says that when bought the car it was starting to look a little rough around the edges, so he had the body and paint done in February 2000. Once he got into it, he had to replace the doors, rockers, etc. While he was at it, he added a Grand National spoiler (nice finishing touch!) and had the bumpers painted to match the paint.

Dave enjoys street driving this fine example of a restored "veteran", as well as ripping off 11 second quarter miles at the track (with the baby seat still in the back!) Dave uses the car as his daily driver and has some "in process before" photos on his web site at: http://members.home.net/davesgn
