1987 Buick Regal Turbo "T" WE4 Option - The Lightweight Grand National

Description for Buick Regal 1987

RESERVE PRICE HAS BEEN LOWERED

This 1987 Buick Turbo T WE4 option was referred to by Buick Motor Division as the "lightweight Grand National" and only 1547 were produced as opposed to over 20,000 GNs. External appearance is similar to the GN lacking only the rear spoiler and having "T" emblems instead of Grand National emblems. Interior is identical to the GN with all gray seats instead of the two-tone black and gray.

I have owned this car for 20 years and am the second owner. Car fax actually shows two owners before me however, he two previous owners were in the same family so, consider myself only the second "family" to own it.

This is a high mileage car with 188,000 on the odometer but is probably in better shape than most other Turbo Regals with half the miles. It has never had any oil but Mobil 1 full synthetic in it and changed religiously every 3,000 miles or once a year, hichever came first. I have kept a history log ever since buying the car with all maintenance and upgrade information, nd dates and mileage performed. In addition, hen the Champion heads were added, he motor was removed, ngine bay cleaned and detailed, il pan removed and screen cleaned, ront and rear crank seals replaced, nd timing chain and damper replaced. I was tempted to freshen up the motor at that time but, y favorite Buick tech, hose opinion I trust, aid I should not touch it. The motor was clean, o noises, o oil burning, nd compression leak-down test showed a healthy motor. After all these years, b>oil pressure is still around 60 PSI at cruising speed and about 25 PSI at idle.

The A/C was converted to R132a several years ago and blows cold. All options are in working condition. Interior has been freshened up with the addition of new front upholstery, arpet, nd headliner. It also has a custom made padded center console arm rest & storage compartment. Gauges consist of oil pressure, ngine temp, oltage, nock gauge, oost gauge, nd a ScanMaster 2.1. Also a dash mounted remote boost controller and Alcohol controller.

Exterior paint is excellent and was repainted in 1995. The car has been garaged all its life and the paint is show worthy with only very minor signs of wear. Front and rear bumper fillers have been replaced with hard plastic reproductions. The trunk has original spare and original black trunk mat. Sub-Woofer and graphic equalizer are also in the trunk. Wheels are 16 x 8 GNX type with 245/50 x 16s up front and 255/50 x 16s in back. Also included will be another pair of 16 x 8 GNX wheels with drag radials mounted. The tires on the car show almost no wear and the drag radials are nearly new. (I've made a few trips to the local strip over the years but, ever abused this car).

Following is a list of the upgrades that have been added and another list of additional spare parts that will be included with the sale. My reason for selling is that I don't drive this Buick much any longer and want to spend more time on other interests in my retirement.
