Hagerty.com Hagerty went on to summarize the remarkable-and little
known-bit of American muscle-car history that the 1987 Buick Turbo
T represents: In the 1980s, the Buick Regal Grand National captured
muscle-car enthusiasts' attention with a quarter-mile time that
beat a Camaro, multiple NASCAR wins, and an affordable purchase
price. Yet, despite all the buzz the Grand National generated and
still enjoys, the often-forgotten turbo-T model was even lighter
and faster. ...taking a ride in one in (2020) proves these cars are
just as good as fans remember. Buick muscle aficionados already
know the very special details that make a Regal T Type the sort of
collector car that will cause smiles, raised eyebrows, and admiring
stares of approval at the T emblems at just about any
cars-and-coffee enthusiast gathering. And if any onlooker has
difficulty figuring out the model, a simple It's the Grand
National's faster brother will usually have them more than
impressed. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of this particular
Regal T Type is the care lavished on it by its first owner. Only a
fastidious owner who's conscious of how special the car is would
retain the factory window sticker (with a handwritten 1,547 made
inscription) and annotated owner's manual with associated
documents. (The WE4 Turbo-T option package is documented on the
window sticker.) What's more, accompanying the car is a logbook
showing several years worth of dated entries recording routine
details like the amount of fuel purchased, the price per-gallon,
whether the car was washed, specifics of regular maintenance, and
more. The wisdom behind the age-old advice You're not just buying
the car, you're buying the owner was never more obvious. The car
has traveled just under 89,000 miles, or an average of just 2,700
miles per year further verifying its high level of owner-care.
Outside, the menacing looking black paint and matching trim (part
of the W02 blackout trim package), together with the black-centered
wheels with Buick logos, makes a strong impression. Paint and trim
are in excellent condition; the body is free of dents or evidence
of damage (as verified by the Carfax report). From the subtle hood
bulge up front to the equally subtle rear deck spoiler, there's an
all business aspect at work here. Virtually no chrome trim is
present on the bodywork, with polished lips on the wheels offering
the only metallic gloss. (The car's original wheels are included in
the sale.) The paintwork is in excellent, unblemished condition
across the entire car. Inside, light-gray takes over from the black
exterior color statement. Low-pile crushed-velour upholstery is in
place, and it retains remarkably near-new condition that could have
only resulted from very careful use over time. The black dash shows
no signs of wear or careless use. The Delco AM-FM cassette radio is
as-installed at the factory. The black sport steering wheel with
its center logo of a single T is understated, but effective
branding. The console-mounted t-shifter for the automatic
transmission stands just to the rear of VDO oil-pressure and
engine-water-temperature gauges. Gray carpeting and door trim show
the same absence of wear and evidence of careful use seen
throughout the car. Not surprisingly, the interior of the car's
trunk is literally fla
