Pedigree:
Born at the Pontiac, MI plant, this special Buick Turbo T-Type was routed to Jim Waldron Pontiac Buick dealership in Davidson, MI where it was purchased. At the time of purchase, it was an option to buy a spare engine. In the case of this ‘87, a spare engine was in fact purchased. When going through the photos, you will see the new engine still on its crate, just the way it arrived in 1987. This spare factory at-time-of-order engine has never been fired and has been in optimal 72* storage since new. Also available with the subject vehicle are the 4 original wheels T-Type wheels w/ original tires and stock exhaust system. This car has MANY “Day-1 Modifications”. The car was modified tastefully, right out of the box. In its day, the car was very competitive. From day one, through the car’s entire life, it has been taken care of, covered and meticulously maintained.
Exterior:
Finished in 11 - White, 19A Body Side Stripe - Black, the paint is original and absolutely stunning. The only blemish is a small crack on one bumper filler, there is a close-up photo of this blemish. We were going to change it to really make the exterior perfect, but after that, cannot call the paint 100% original. So, we opt to leave it the way it is. Hard to see. The original black pin stripe is still on the car with no flaws. There are no stone chips, dents, scratches or touch ups. The lights, indicators, bezels, trim and glass are all original and like new. If it was not for the small blemish in the front bumper filler, this car would be considered exactly like new on the exterior (if this bothers you, I can replace it, however, its nice knowing 100% of the exterior panels are all oem). The car comes with an NOS front bumper filler panel. The doors, deck lid, hood and windows all operate like they are brand new.
Light weight wheels are currently on the car and included are the original T-Type aluminum wheels & tires that the car rolled off of the assembly line with. Like the rest of everything, wheels are basically new.
Interior:
Trim 393 – Gray Bucket Seat Cloth interior is in like new condition. There are no signs of wear or blemishes. The seats, door panels, dash, carpet, floor mats, pedals, arm rests, and switches/buttons are all in new condition. There are 11,813 miles but the interior looks like it has never been sat in. Absolutely pristine! All of the interior components, gauges, switches and lights work as they were brand new. The interior is stunning and perfect.
Underside:
Just like the exterior and interior, the underside is perfect. Look closely at the floorboards, rockers, inner/outer rocker pinch area. The car hasn’t been in the rain and it shows. There are no blemishes on the underside, it’s the way it came from GM. All of the modifications are very tasteful, desirable and has not compromised the originality of the car.
