Yeah I'm pretty sure its the GS. I guess i'll have to check the rpo since it'* not real common knowledge..
I talked to the guy (I know/worked with him for a while) and he said it'* got around 90k on it and he'd let it got for $600. Said everythings solid. He bought it for his son a while back and preped it for paint (hes a body guy) but his son ended up buying a truck. So it'* just kind of sitting there and he wants to get rid of it.
Gonna try and go look at it today and start it up etc.

This is just a car i plan on keeping for 4-5 months or so.
If i do anything outside of a tuneup to the engine it'll be: L67 coil swap, intake, afc, willwren style pems, and a high flow cat thats sitting in my garage.
Not really looking to do a swap or anything big. Just looking for a cheap reliable daily driver.
I gotta get back into a 94-95 bonnie when i have more $.

Ok kind of went car shopping today. Heres what I know so far.
89 *-10:
Odometer was rolled back (none of the numbers line up)
2.5l 4 cyl
stick
runs, drives, shifts fine
Makes weird noise in reverse after 20 ft or so
needs d/* shock
missing drivers side mirror
5 star 15s with new 265'* in the back
bucket seats
primered w/ some rust spots
crappy azteca lights in the back
Asking $700
89 buick regal custom:
I still have to go back and get more info on it.
I went to the parking lot where the guy keeps it but he couldn't be there. He left the keys in the visor and a jump box in the back for me to check it out. It has been sitting for a while and the battery is dead.
Anyways I couldn't get it to start cause the jump box was beat but it did turn over and the digital dash said it has 117k on it. I called him back up and he said he'll try and get it started on monday and let me know.
3.1l (turns out it wasn't a 3.8l)
2 dr
blue but primered sports cause it'* preped for paint
In all, cleaner than the *-10
