Gateway Classic Cars is proud to present this 1987 Buick Regal T-Type. The 1987 model year marked the final and finest chapter for Buick's legendary rear-wheel-drive G-Body platform. While the all-black Grand National grabbed the headlines, true automotive enthusiasts know that the 1987 Buick Regal Turbo T was the ultimate driver's secret weapon.
Under the subtle, scooped turbo hood lies the celebrated 3.8-liter SFI turbocharged and intercooled V6 engine, mated to a smooth 4-speed TH200-4R automatic transmission. Factory rated at 245 horsepower and 355 lb-ft of torque, these turbocharged Buicks easily out-accelerated many V8 contemporaries of their era. The Turbo T utilized lightweight aluminum bumper brackets and aluminum wheels, reducing weight compared to the cast-iron setup of the Grand National. This made the car quicker out of the hole and sharper in the corners.
This particular example is built for driving pleasure. The factory Gran Touring suspension, fast-ratio power steering, and power front disc brakes provide crisp, confident road manners. Inside, the cabin offers a comfortable interior with standard amenities including power windows, power door locks, power steering, and cold air conditioning.
Whether you are looking to add a rare, high-performance G-body to your collector garage or want an authentic 1980s turbo sleeper that turns heads everywhere, this 1987 Buick Regal delivers history, performance, and style in one incredible package.
