Whadda ya think?

Its been Frankensteined a bit:

635 motor & trans

the owner will give the zf to fix and replace the old 635 trans.

I plan on checking it out later today.

[632 Regal]

pictures and a good inspection are in order here.

Sounds hacked to me. And make sure it's a late CSI E24 motor, else you're getting the E28 M30, which has less horsepower and a different head...and probably different motronic...someone who knows can confirm or deny.

The guy claims it's the later motor from an 88 635 that fit perfectly, just the trans is off due to the computer differances. Thus the zf swap after a repair.

[Blitzkrieg Bob]

Poor ol' girl has way too much work to do.

The engine and trans are from a 635, so the trans is confused about what speed it's going.

Front and rear bumper damage.

Interior looks like okay, but front seats look worn out, and passenger seat won't sit up.

I'll have to pass on this one, shop around for a better candidate

It's always ok to JUST SAY NO.

Yeah I would pass... although the price is tempting.
