Welcome to CO.
X2 on the pics.
I have always had a soft spot
for the 73 Regals, I owned 5 of them
over the years. I could never find a Grand Sport.
They are very cool cars in my opinion. Yours probably
has the 455. All of mine had the 350, but they were
very strong engines. I even put one in a 72 Cutlass
one time. Sorry guys, ha ha. It was sweet though.

I'd be happy to post some pics for ya. They are a little dirty and nothing is finished but maybe one day. These are of my 73 gran sport and 77 442, unfortunately the buick has a 350 but I'm kind of glad becuase my goal is to use this as a daily driver. I could right now but I'd like to get a few more mpg out of it first. My 442 started life with a 350 but now has a 455.

Welcome aboard Allen! (hmmm, I like the sound of that)
LOL the DD Buick reminds me of Kojak's car except your's is a 2 door. Did you know there's a registry for 442 G Bodies? It's a great way to document the late model 442's before they too disappear. http://www.v8cars.hu/73-77cutlassregistry/list.php

I am currently working on my other two cars and are far bigger projects. My other 442 came with a 403 and my parents bought it in 85. I'm am currently working on replacing the quarter panel, and my cutlass s is a good project but needs alot, I'm currently working on the interior. If anyone would like pics of these let me know and I'll take some.

These are some pics of my cutlass S, I ripped out the interior about a week in a half ago, and installed a used headliner I got a couple days ago and had the rear window resealed. Its sitting out in the back of my parents, lucky them hun! I'm trying to make it look a little better for them.

Oh and I am a member at 73-77olds.com have been for a while. Just though I should come over here to. Hope everyone enjoys the pics. I'll try to get some of my other 442 posted over the next couple days.
This is my budget project, as cheap as possible. The last pic is of the rear seat I'm going to dye for it, but first I'm going to swap out the dash. My goal this year is to get all the parts I've collected for my cars on the cars.

But on the + side, did you see any rust or rot in that pic of the rear window?? Very solid looking. Dash pad shouldn't be a huge issue. Very nice job on the head liner!
