Grand National needs no introduction. Neither does the GNX. But how
about a Regal Limited Turbo? Or a WE4? You see, while the GN and
GNX steal the spotlight, these weren't the only turbocharged Regals
available in 1987. In fact, 1987 was a special year - it was the
only year the turbo engine package (LC2) could be ordered as a
standalone option on any Regal (not just Grand National). Same with
the GN's blacked-out Exterior Sport Package. This was the only year
you could order a turbocharged Buick in a color other than black or
grey. Now, since Buick customers could mix and match Grand National
parts with different Regal models, this meant that a luxurious
Regal "Limited" (plush velour bench seating, pillows, column shift,
wood/chrome interior trim, vinyl landau roof, hood ornament etc)
could be ordered with the Grand National's turbo engine, as well as
the GN's "Turbo" bulge hood. This car was known as Regal Limited
Turbo-T, and it was one of the greatest "sleepers" the auto
industry had ever seen. Only 1,035 were ever made. In comparison,
Buick made 20,193 Grand Nationals in 1987.To be clear: The Turbo-T
replaced the T-type from previous years. All Regals that included
the Turbo package (LC2) and T-Package (Y56) were considered
Turbo-T's. (a "Special Turbo Package" (WE4) was also available that
included the blacked-out Exterior Sport Package found on the GN.
Regals in this configuration only came in black and are known as
the "WE4" Turbo-T). The Turbo package included the Grand National's
Turbo V6, 3.42 Axle, LED tach and boost gauge. The T-Package
includes a leather wrapped sport steering wheel, 15�6 aluminum
Sport wheels, Eagle GT Blackwall tires, "Turbo-T" fender badge, and
the same "Gran Touring" suspension (FE3) as the Grand National (but
with a softer tune - the GN's suspension was slightly stiffer).The
wheels, bumper supports, and rear drum brakes were actually
aluminum on these Turbo-T's, as opposed to cast iron/steel on the
Grand National. This meant that almost all Turbo-T's were slightly
faster than the Grand National thanks to less weight, as well as
launch harder due to better weight transfer of their softer
suspension. I say "almost" because the "Limited" models you see
here likely canceled out the weight advantage with the added luxury
options, but hey ... when you can line up next to a Grand National
at a stoplight, engage "Drive" with your column shift, and keep
pace with the GN with one hand across the back of your bench seat
in comfort ... who's complaining? Rear Spoiler, Steering Wheel Trim
