Either way it is still a nice car and I wouldn't mind having it.

Yea, I've always loved these cars, this is the third one we've had in my family. My mother had a 91 GS Coupe, my grandmother had a 96 GS Sedan w/Series II, and now my cousin has this.

Right now, he wants to keep it stock. He is going to tint the windows, and maybe do a nice sound system, and thats about it for now. Maybe later on down the road, I can talki him into doing a L67 swap or something nice like that

I think that would be awesome in that car. For inexpensively as it could be done it would be a worthwhile upgrade.

Im sure Ed Morad could help out with that. You could even start piecing it together so it doesnt hurt so much at one time.

no not a SII L67 swap...a SI L67 swap... M62
it's a 95 so it's likely a SI with the roller rocker heads (i've seen one VERY late production 95 regal with a SII build date was 8/95 and had a 3800 series II plaque on the trunklid fyi)

he doesnt even have to remove the heads...LIM, SC accessory drive etc and throw it on! the high compression tall deck/longrod SI block with a blower is a real kick in the pants...

I've had a few of them...91,93,94 coupe GS's. Great car and alot lighter then the later model GS's. It's to bad it's not a 96 because they come with the series II 3800. Can you say turbo kit??
