I grew up with a 77 like this, with a 305 minus the vinyl top. My dad unfortunately sold it for pennies and it broke my heart. Good to see some still exist out there.
That is in fact a Buick 350 V8. Note the distributor at the front of the engine. Old V8s have an oil filler tube at the front of the engine. Also note the Buick exclusive valve covers. That being said, this is a beautiful example.
My father had that exact car .. same color with white racing stripe. It was a nice car with all the bell of whistles of the time, with a sporty edge. The radio of his also stopped working, so we ended up replacing it with a nicer stereo.
Convert it to electric .800 Ho power plant plug in electric. Keep the suspension mostly as original adding some sway bars. Reinforce sound insulation. Add AC, repair dashboard crack and redo the entire body for debts, under carriage details. It would be exquisite. A true Phaeton carriage. Reinforce door structure with anti intrusion bars.. I mean make it impecable. This is a truly gorgeous body. Change the headlights to high efficiency light sources. Just a lovely car it would be. Ready for the next century.
Heck, that's a really nice-looking car! Tranny leak, though, could be a pain in the neck to repair. Seems like mechanics nowadays don't know how to work on these kinds of cars.
The body/chassis of this car is VERY, VERY GOOD! It's too bad it has a Buick "350" and not the WONDERFUL "Olds Rocket 350"! This was the BEST "350" variation G.M. EVER PRODUCED! A TRULY GREAT MOTOR!

Yes... I miss my ol' 1977 Buick Regal.

Mine was blue with white
Is it still available?
Nice car 😊
May I ask how much did it sell for?
I Wouldn't lower it. Leave it stock. I Have a 76 Monty Carlo the same color. It a great cruiser.😊
I had a 76 Monte same color white interior. I sold it w/ transmission issues.
What is the difference in this and the Regal? They look the same size, why would Buick make to different models using the same platform?
How much you want for it
That's a Buick 350 if it was an Olds rocket it would be gold and not blue.
Correct, the Buick Century station wagon could come with the 403 Olds though.

The other used car company makes sure everything works correctly
It seems to drive very well... 👍
