Welcome. That car looks amazing! Definitely somewhat of a rare car, even when new. Seems like the Regal coupes were fairly out of style by that time. Having those wheels makes it even rarer.    Can’t say that I’ve ever seen a 95-96 coupe in person, but I still see the odd sedan out and about. Definitely have not seen any Regal in person with those wheels on it either. 

Hey, all!  New to the W-Body forums and learning so much about these cars! I recently purchased a 1996 Buick Regal GS coupe from my grandma, who bought this brand new in December 1995 from Van Atta Buick in Vestal, NY.    It was a daily driver for 2 years (has not seen salt since 1998), and became an exclusive summer driver after that. It did, of course not always see road time. They always had a couple other cars that they drove around, and sometimes the Regal would sit for an entire summer (or 2) without any new mileage on it! It was always kept in a enclosed, heated garage and waxed 2x a year (even if the car didnt physically go anywhere that year it was still cleaned up)!    Fast forward to 2026, the Regal had been sitting for 6 years, not driven, merely tucked away, covered up, and forgotten about. Grandma decided she wants to sell the Regal, as sitting is doing nothing for its value (as it sat it had just over 29k miles on it, WITH THE ORIGINAL TIRES STILL ON IT). We came to an agreement on price and it became my car! Purchased just after July 4th, I simply gave it a really good bath, buff, polish, ceramic coating, and some little maintenance items before taking this absolute treasure of a survivor to local car shows, and simply enjoying the ride quality of a practically still new 96 Regal GS Coupe.  Finished in the beautiful Dark Toreador Metallic with ruby red leather interior WITH the 3800 V6! I wonder how many of these are still out there, with this color and option combination and mileage!  Check out the photos, admire it's beauty! Attached is also an odometer photo after I got the car home to me. 

I just remove my rear heads. The exhaust we got with two open end wrenches from the top. I did spray some PB blaster but wasn’t 10 minutes after that. I can’t believe I didn’t hear about these hardly having heads blow. My Intake gasket is what it was I’m pretty sure but I guess I decided to go further. It’s a 2000 bonneville l36 series ii

I have been passed down a 1992 Cutlass Supreme from my father in law.  The car has 80K miles and runs like a champ, however it has a bunch of small issues on the interior and window gaskets that are keeping it from standing out.   He is nearing 90 and I am trying to clean it up for him before he passes to let him ride in it again.   He bought it when he retired and it has sat in his garage for about 10 years.   I need a few parts so I hope that this community might be able to point me in the right direction.

Yea, after 7 dead 65e’s in multiple different w bodies i was kinda sick of it. Not to mention the 6t70 had 2 extra gears to play with. If it wasn't for the horrible 2.44 fd in the impala transmission it really would've been pretty wicked. Unfortunately ended up getting rid of the car a while ago due to rot. Current owner still has it but it only gets driven for track events. Id like to build another someday with an 06/07 shell and 3.16/3.39 6t out of an suv. Would be much better acceleration/fun wise and the 6t’s OD is still long enough to be perfectly fine on the highway. why didn't i just slap an ls4 in? because everyone either just slaps an ls4 in or an l67. The 6t/ls4 wasn't figured out yet, the ls4 is an absolute pain to work on in that engine bay, and it also just wasn't my taste. I could've done an ls4, at the time we had 2 of them sitting around in donor cars at the yard. I didn't want to lol.
