New (returning former) member with a new to me 1st gen survivor

[Black92GS]

Like the title says, I am a new member now, but I was a fairly regular member here around 15-20 years ago. My screen name at that time was Regal_GS_1989. I originally owned an 89 Regal GS coupe, a 92 Cutlass International Coupe, and finally a 2000 Regal Sedan. Life got busy, I stopped posting regularly, and the 2000 was sold off about 10 years ago for something newer and more family friendly. 
 

Time has marched on, and I am now in a position where I have the time and resources to be able to own a “weekend” vehicle.  As luck, or possibly fate would have it, this beauty quite literally fell into my lap at the perfect moment…

A 92 Regal GS Coupe.  Black, Grey leather interior, low milage, One owner, garage kept its entire life, ordered new with every option box checked off…save for the sunroof. It’s truly worthy of the term survivor, and it’s exactly how I would have ordered one myself back in the day. 
 

Gotta say…it feels sort of strange to be back here posting again about a 1st gen coupe…but I can get used to that   I am also surprised at how many screen names I still recognize as well!

Thanks!  It’s somewhat of a strange experience to be honest. I never imagined myself finding another one…let alone a fully optioned GS coupe in this colour combination, in this condition, and that was local. It’s a real unicorn, without question. Even 20 years ago… 1st gen Regal coupes were all but a rare sight around here…and the ones you did see were very solidly in beater territory.

This is amazing.  Very similar to my first W-Body back in the day. Congrats and welcome back.

Welcome (back)! somehow I never got out for long, but the last few years I haven't posted as much, been trying to check in more often

[Black92GS]

It’s been just a little over a year now since I got the Regal…so what better way to celebrate that than with some more recent pictures. Nothing much visually has changed except for the refinished wheels and new tires…which was a fairly large, yet subtle change on its own. My intent is to keep the car as stock as possible, and to keep it up to snuff mechanically to be used as a reliable, fair weather cruiser. 
 

 

And to shake things up…. This is the final picture I ever took of my 89 GS before it was parked for good in summer of 2008.
