If you are a fan of fins, this Dodge Custom Royal Regal Lancer is the find for you! The Regal Lancer was Dodge’s top-of-the-line trim level and was only offered as a two-door in one of four special color combinations. Less than 1,200 Regal Lancers were built. Who knows how many of those remain, but it can’t be many. This example has been with the seller for the past 23 years, and they have enjoyed owning it, but the time has come to thin out their collection. They want to see it go to a good home, so they are offering it here as a Barn Finds Auction!

Given how special a find this Dodge is, we sent one of our professional photographers over to get all the needed pictures. While the car isn’t in perfect condition, it won’t take much to make it a fun and interesting driver! The seller notes a few minor issues. The speedometer is inoperative, the starter motor makes an odd noise, the front end could use an alignment, the brake pedal occasionally goes to the floor at a stop, and there’s some bubbling showing around the rear fenders. Otherwise, the car starts, runs, and drives well.

As previously stated, the Custom Regal Lancer was offered in a limited color palette, with bronze appearing in three of the four options. This one is bronze with white accents and looks great. It also featured unique badging, trim, and interior. At some point, the seats and headliner were recovered in black vinyl. The seats are showing some wear, which would be an excellent excuse to recover them in the correct style bronze, white, and black upholstery. The door panels appear original and would give you an idea of the materials used for the original upholstery.

Power is provided by the car’s original 350 Ram Fire cui V8 and is paired to a Torqueflite Automatic transmission. Recent work includes rebuilding the Carter AFB four-barrel carburetor and installing a new water pump. The car is equipped with power steering and power brakes.

This really is an amazing find! These Regal Lancers are hard to come by. The chrome is in good shape, the body looks straight, and with a little work, it will be an amazing driver. So, if you’ve always dreamed of owning a finned Dodge or just want a really special American classic, be sure to cast your high bids below. And if you have any questions for the seller, please leave them in the comment section.
