566hp LS-Swapped 1985 Buick Regal by Whips by Wade
This 1985 Buick Regal, built by Wade Whitehorn of Whips by Wade, showcases a powerful transformation into a big wheel ambassador. Originally a daily cruiser, the project evolved into a showpiece with a 396-cube LS-based V8 by Mast Motorsports, producing 566 horsepower. Equipped with a 4L80E automatic gearbox and a narrowed Ford 9-inch rear end, it boasts reliable performance. The suspension features QA1’s Level 2 Big Wheel kit, ensuring clearance for the 24-inch Forgiato wheels. The Regal’s interior shines with marbleized maroon leather, complemented by a 3500-watt JL audio system. Repainted black to match the luxurious interior, it stands out as a fitting representation of the big wheel scene.
