For Sale: 1986 Buick Regal in Lutz, Florida

This 1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo mixes the sophistication of a chrome-bumper Buick with the T-tops and turbo V6 you love in these specialty machines. So not only is this coupe exceptionally cool, but the price also makes it irresistible.


This was the final year for the T-Type package in the Regal, and it really makes for quite a distinctive vehicle. It splits the difference between the aggressive Grand National and luxury-minded standard Regal. That's why you have the aggressive dark package on the front spoiler, grille, headlight bezels, and window trim. Even the sporty wheels are shared with the Grand National. But there are also elegant touches, like the chrome bumpers and exclusive hood ornament. The paint even seems to strike a nice balance between precious metal and a silver bullet. And as distinctive as this car is, more people opted for either the regular Regal or the full GN package, which makes this genuine T-Type Turbo rather rare.


Inside is more of the unique balance of comfort and luxury. After all, not too many other Buicks came with a driver-oriented bucket seat interior w/center console. Yours even power adjusts to the ideal position. You get all the best in premium features, like the good-looking comfy velour seating, power windows, power locks, cruise control, the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo, and provisions for R134a air conditioning (will need servicing to be fully functional.) The T-tops are always a desirable feature for a sporty feeling. Plus, you get a three-spoke sports steering wheel that's designed to give you an excellent view of the cool optional digital gauge package.


What really makes this one so special is what's under the hood. The 3.8-liter fuel-injected V6 was built with a turbocharger and intercooler. This one even has a cold air intake for added power. It produced the kind of power that made GM's Corvette very nervous. Plus, features like power brakes w/discs up front, wide Cooper Cobra radials, and sway bars front & rear help make sure this handles like a proper muscle machine should. But remember, the four-speed automatic transmission is not only there for quick shifting action but also for overdrive comfort. It's all part of a package that lets you enjoy a comfortable Buick when you want and awake the sleeper at a moment's notice.


The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and some desirable spare components, including an extra T-Type grille. This is one of the coolest 1980s speed machine around, and it's offered for a terrific price. Call today!!!
