Vehicle Description
1984 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo w/ T-Tops
The Buick Regal T-Type and the Buick Regal Grand National are
exactly the same cars, except the Grand National only was offered
in all black. While Grand Nationals are on the rise in
value/collectibility, the twin brother T-Type has fallen under the
radar, even though they are mechanically identical. They are built
on the same platform and have same engine. The only difference is
cosmetics.
According to the original window sticker (not a copy - the real
thing), which accompanies the sale, this vehicle was delivered and
sold through Gavin Chevrolet & Buick of Middleville, Michigan. The
car came from the factory in Black (19L) paint over a Red cloth
(389) interior. It has been recently repainted in black, including
the bumpers, with Grand National wheels added, wrapped in brand new
rubber. Essentially, it is a Grand National set-up, besides having
a red interior instead of black.
It is powered by the same GN motor: Turbocharged 3.8L/231ci V6 with
200hp, mated to a Automatic Transmission with Overdrive. Some
noteworthy standard features include Power Brakes, Power Steering,
Gran Touring Suspension, and even Front and Rear Ashtrays. Some
desirable options include Power Locks, Power Windows, Hatch Roof
(T-Tops), Rear Defroster, Cruise Control, Tilt Steering, Power
Antenna, Delco AM/FM Cassette Stereo, and Electronic
Instrumentation (Digital Dash). The suggested window sticker price
was $15,318. That's a lot of coin for a new car in 1984!
The car has been gone through by our mechanic with a new mass flow
sensor and new power steering pump. Brand new tires too. This is an
awesome car that has always been stored inside and is now ready for
new garage. When everyones looking for the Grand National, why not
be different in the T-Type? Its the same car and is a blast to
drive. Be sure to check out all the photos and video on our main
