Only reason my 80 Regal is still alive is bc it's parked 7 months of the year. Even after the snow melts, ya gotta wait a month or more for the salt to be off the roads. Can't wait to retire and go south
@@robertvalentin5846 maybe in the city, but, keep in mind there is an entire state attached to the city. These cars, much like anything else from the era, weren't exactly rust proof. Here in the salt belt, they had sagging bumpers by 4 years old. Mine came out of SC, and it gets oil sprayed each year.
I've not watched Cowboy Car Crusher in months which I need to start watching again. This is how I found your videos through Cowboy Car Crusher when you did a video on the Ford Galaxie you did months ago.
Whoa Nelley, it's a Regal and it's got no VIN, it's no longer legal. But we got the VIN and we win so here we go: 4 for Buick, J for Regal, 47 for two door, A for 231 V6 with two barrel RPO "LD5" produced by Buick, non-turbo , 9 for 1979 model year, Z for Fremont, CA assembly and the rest is the production sequence. Possible code #61 tan exterior color with probably a Camel Tan interior color code of #62. The LD5 is the reason it's probably here, so that's it, it just quit. It once ran, but no longer can.
Looks like someone peeled the column and stole it, trashed it and left it. The 231 in those cars was questionable back then. Flat cams, burning of valves, failing t-chains, and yes, failing oil pumps were common. Around here, the oil filter and pump housing would get packed with snow and ice since there was so much room around it. It would then freeze solid overnight and when started in the cold morning, if the oil was too thick, it would break the pressure spring or damage the pump internally and the engine would soon fail, as it was on high idle.. Seen that happen a lot.
@@adamtrombino106 Yes, the Buick V6 and Buick V8 used the same integral oiling system (I think Cadillac may have too). Very poor system. The oil pump belongs in the oil pan like Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and Pontiac did on their engines.
ahh that things got a 3.8 buick v6, it probably lost oil pressure and got parked. the dead give away to the motor was the oil filter up front on the passenger side.
Those are factory original Buick wheels that were normally found on the higher end Sport Coupe models. Being such a base model car with hardly any options at all, I'm surprised to see that this car has them. Very rare to find those now.
Was able to save a lot of trim and "trinket" parts and the wheels. Big Shout to Steve The G Body Saver Accouti. The man drove 6 hour round trip to do what he could. Not one trip, but 2. The man should be commended 👍👊
My Mom had a 79 in that GM bronze/copper color. Interior was the same color as this one, but she had a floor shifter and vinyl buckets. Those seats combined with the 80s nut hugger shorts I wore as a kid and a hot sun made for some awful burns. Always liked that car though. Kept the tags and now have them on my ‘77 Regal.
One of my first drag cars was a 79 regal with a 12 bolt. That car would hook on street tires like they were slicks. Looked like hell and ran like hell... Haha
I remember when these were called "A" bodies. ("G" happened in 1982 when "A" was built off the notorious "X" body). I drove one like this in Driver's Ed in high school. I miss RWD, body-and-frame cars so much! 🚗! 🐰
Those wheels are interesting, never saw them before. This yard had a nice 90-ish Chevy G20 conversion last week and they destroyed it pulling the motor out. Strange place they run there.
With no VIN, it's a good derby/racing car any day! The windshield is busted so we're already halfway there lol! The radio looks original. Looks to be AM/FM only
They're supposed to have polished stainless trim-rings to complete the look. Optional factory wheels. This car isn't highly optioned. I'm guessing it's a V6. Isn't the hood release inside under the dash?
A Special when they were first introduced then were coded as G Body after 81 when the A Body front drivers came out.Century.Pontiac 6000 Olds Cierra and Chevy Celebrity.
Oh, man..you're looking through a window of a forgotten time in this car. Btw, I miss when you pronounce them "beeezels" lol! I know, some people are tired of hearing that, but not me, haha!
I dont care how rough it is these early g-body cars are worth saving frame rails are not hard to come by and just parts alone there worth it ♥ anyways just my 2 cents
Doesn't matter about the center cap it's all General Motors: Pontiac Buick Chevy Oldsmobile Cadillac👍🏾 My 83 Oldsmobile Delta 88 has 1972 Chevy Impala hubcaps, looks great😃👍🏾
My uncle had a 1978 red with white vinyl top red interior brand new those too me are better looking than the 1981 those wheels were rare option mainly on the t type regal that looks like 231 v6 in it. ..that car could be saved do an L s swapp and you got a great everyday car that would last many more years plus it be a great sleeper .
Those wheels are off a 79 Buick turbo regal they are hard to get wheels I hope you pull them off I believe they're 14x7 they also put them on Buick turbo centuries they have a trim ring like a rally wheel and the center cap is different than the regular Buick center cap
I had a '79. Mine was black with gray half-landau top, gray interior, and a Pontiac 301 2 bbl under the hood. Ohio car, passenger side floorpan was GONE. This looks like more of a base model, probably had the base 231/3.8 V6. I'm sorry to hear it got crushed, not many of those left anymore
Yes, I have known Cowboy since he first started the channel. Hey Bennie, I have a 1955 Cadillac Coupe deVille and I want to add A/C to it. What vintage underdash A/C units do you have for sale?
I can see that 79 Regal as drag car personally wouldn't take much to be running again shame u can't get in trunk tho was wondering what would be inside looked solid underneath tho.
Grab them quarter panel corners they are hard to find these days for them first series . pay 5bucks sell for 25 bucks And that header panel is worth buying if you get a good price on it.
My favorite make and model car!!
Had a 1980 model year...moved up to a 1989 Rivera and now drive a 2000 LeSabre.
Love my Buicks!! ❤️
You texas guys are spoiled! Us NY guys dont see these anymore!! Keep up the great vids man!!!!

You can find parking in NYC. Just stay out of certain boroughs.

It's an Oldsmobuick!
Man i haven't seen one those in years and she is so clean
I actually own a 79 Regal, getting ready to build the motor

Gotta give it up to Gbody Steve. Not too many would put in that effort. At least some of it was saved👍
Man that Regal needs to be in my garage.
I saw one of these with a built 350 in this kind of car once it was so powerful it ripped out the rear end
Those are actually rare option Buick Regal wheels! Most of them came with the with the turbo 3.8 Carbureted Buick Regal 78 and 79.

Not a bad car for that year but I prefer the 1981 regal.

Man!! I gata get to Texas! I woukd take that car in a sec!
*EXACTLY* you won't find anything in that good of condition in Ohio...
Those are Buick wheels. I remember seeing a few Regals back in the day with them.
They're supposed to have polished stainless trim-rings to complete the look. Optional factory wheels. This car isn't highly optioned. I'm guessing it's a V6. Isn't the hood release inside under the dash?
I had a near new new 1980 regal. White with white interior, t-top. Man it was sweet at the time.
Great video bro is this thing on the chopping block. Howdy to cowboy👍.
My first car back in 1986 . The hood released should be on the inside under the dash.
That thing is rock solid. You should see what we are dealing with in Québec, canada
A Special when they were first introduced then were coded as G Body after 81 when the A Body front drivers came out.Century.Pontiac 6000 Olds Cierra and Chevy Celebrity.
Yes....the cars that bankrupted GM. F.W.D. GARBAGE .
Had to come back to give you a thumbs ☝. Thanks.
What a shame. Fairly clean other than glass damage. Have a good day
Cowboy car crushing crushes everything, he doesn't care...
Oh, man..you're looking through a window of a forgotten time in this car. Btw, I miss when you pronounce them "beeezels" lol! I know, some people are tired of hearing that, but not me, haha!
All it needs is a Poncho and Chevy center caps on the front and maybe Caddy in the trunk.
Ya! He is 100% cowboy that's for sure! Thanks. :-D
I dont care how rough it is these early g-body cars are worth saving frame rails are not hard to come by and just parts alone there worth it ♥ anyways just my 2 cents
Its a Stank Rat!! Love it
Doesn't matter about the center cap it's all General Motors: Pontiac Buick Chevy Oldsmobile Cadillac👍🏾
My 83 Oldsmobile Delta 88 has 1972 Chevy Impala hubcaps, looks great😃👍🏾
Nice to see you at cowboys car crusher.I like Buick regals.I want to see a 73 Buick regal 2 door.if you find one.hi cowboy .good Ohio.
On some cars today, the "trunk" is a "frunk" (front trunk)....
Omega wheels?
My uncle had a 1978 red with white vinyl top red interior brand new those too me are better looking than the 1981 those wheels were rare option mainly on the t type regal that looks like 231 v6 in it. ..that car could be saved do an L s swapp and you got a great everyday car that would last many more years plus it be a great sleeper .
Save it please I love these cars
myyyy favrite car buick
No mufflers or cats !
looking for a 1976 Laguna S-3
Those wheels are off a 79 Buick turbo regal they are hard to get wheels I hope you pull them off I believe they're 14x7 they also put them on Buick turbo centuries they have a trim ring like a rally wheel and the center cap is different than the regular Buick center cap
Someone saved those wheels along with a few other parts before the car was crushed
I had a '79. Mine was black with gray half-landau top, gray interior, and a Pontiac 301 2 bbl under the hood. Ohio car, passenger side floorpan was GONE. This looks like more of a base model, probably had the base 231/3.8 V6. I'm sorry to hear it got crushed, not many of those left anymore

And that header panel is worth buying if you get a good price on it.
Excelente vídeo saludos desde México 👍
This is just a wild guess, but I think the brakes were stronger than the seat belts 🙂
beeeeeeeeezels
Those are some rare wheels. I love g bodys, but the front end on this year regal was butt ugly
Scrap is down. They need to sell it. What's the price.. that body work ant shit.
Neither are your comments.
@@paxhumana2015 right
Pretty rough condition 😕
Yep and now it no longer exists. Crushed a little while back
Looks like chick hicks from cars the only thing that its missing is the green paint job and the racing stickers.
Cool 😀
That's my first car 78 V6 regal
I think that was "Cuestick" Kim Williams Regal!!!
i thought i recognized the car lol
I need Those bumpers
Those Regals were nice cars, but GM pushed the V6 engine in them. I mean I know you could order a 305 V8 in them
Aka MY OFFICE.. Fix her up put some 30 inches n custom paint job n a banging system .. They will hate it....💪🏾😎
Why is cowboy car crushing in the title
Cowboy Car Crushing is a local UA-cam Channel. This regal was at the yard where he works
@@ClassicRideSociety I'm guessing he's crushed it by now
Not sure. But it was gonna get crushed. No title
Hope it never got crushed and sold on?
Its crushed
Hated those lol
Bbeeeeeezzzeelss
Buick V6.
Il faut la sauver mec !
Better for parts
Sadness
Sad 2 C her go😭
i got the 80
Hah, its got poor people windows.
☹😶
It's going to be crushed soon
I despised these when they came out but after forty years I'm trying to forgive the ugliness.
