For 1987, Buick's Grand National was at its most potent for what would be its last year. The output from its turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 increased from 235 hp to 245 hp, though those figures were considered very conservative given how quick this car was. The car looked sinister as well, with its dipped in black color scheme. But there was another option for those who wanted the G.N.'s ripping performance in a more discreet wrapper, as any Regal could be ordered with that fearsome, force-fed V6. There was also an available T package that provided better handling via a firmer suspension and fancy wheels fitted with Goodyear performance tires. If a Regal was ordered with both the turbo 3.8 and the T package, , it was unofficially referred to as a Turbo T. Note that these cars are considerably more rare than a Grand National with only 4,268 Regal Turbo Ts produced compared to over 20,000 Grand Nationals. On offer here is a 1987 Buick Regal Turbo T, a beautiful example with less than 25,000 miles on the odometer. This car has been meticulously maintained with comprehensive upgrades / maintenance done that include: recent alternator and water pump, rear main seal, oil pan/valve cover gaskets, engine and transmission mounts, A/C relay, heater core, timing chain/gears, TA-49 turbo, intercooler hoses, headliner and auxiliary gauges. Look at the window sticker and you'll see that this Regal was ordered with nearly every option you could get, including the T package, the turbo V6, limited-slip rear end, A/C, the rare power moonroof (Astro roof), AM/FM/Cassette sound system with equalizer, power windows/locks, tilt wheel and cruise control. Underway, this car is a hoot to drive -- lean into it just slightly and you'll get an enthusiastic chirp from the rear tires on the firm 1-2 upshift. No wonder that a stock 3.8 turbo Regal was one of the quickest cars available in the mid- to late-1980s, easily showing its taillights to the 5.0 Mustangs, IROCs and Trans Ams of the day. Even a Corvette got a run for its money from this personal luxury coupe if it packed the 3.8 SFI TURBO as seen on the car's hood.
