The company had relegated most of its models to bland copycats of compromised. committee-driven designs which. for the most part. suffered terrible quality problems. But every once in a while. the true car guys broke free of the massive corporate bureaucracy and belted one straight out of the park! Featuring a turbocharged 3800 V6. fitted with a comfortable cockpit and well known for its world-class performance. the Buick Regal Turbo was one such homerun. Thanks to a continued rise in desirability. the search is on to find the best turbo Buicks that will set the standard for the future collector car market. And. combining a recent frame-up restoration with a full folder of original documentation. this clean Limited T might just be one of the nicest Regals on the planet!BODYWORK/TRIMFor car enthusiasts. the late '80s meant one thing: the end of the much maligned Malaise Era. And this hard-edged coupe's sophisticated Dark Blue Metallic pigment was a refreshing change from the polar palette the hobby had endured for close to a decade. In fact. the car's glossy pigment. upgraded to PPG 2-stage roughly 1K miles back. is decidedly contemporary. proving once again that good taste never goes out of style. With that pigment comes a solid profile. which. during the aforementioned frame-up restoration. was stripped all the way to bare metal. That solid fuselage retains factory alignment. featuring light doors. which open and close with ease. A rare blackout trim package nicely highlights fresh weatherstripping and correct. fully re-chromed bumpers. And overall. this Regal's looks defy the decades its VIN suggests. ENGINESpeaking of survivors. and GM's core strengths. if anyone ever creates an ultimate engine survivors list Buick's stalwart. 231 cubic inch V6 will surely be at the top. Introduced as the Fireball. and eventually renamed the 3800. its early '60s design was sold to Kaiser. bought back by General Motors and. with the help of turbos. superchargers and continuous improvements. would remain one of the company's core powerplants until the turn of the century! For the 1987 model year the Regal's turbocharged mill. which had already benefitted from sequential fuel injection and a distributorless ignition system. saw significant mechanical changes that included a new air-to-air intercooler. adjustments to its Garrett turbo. improved upper and lower intake manifolds. and a redesigned exhaust system. All those carefully calculated tweaks and improvements were good for a newly impressive 245 horsepower and 355 lb. /ft. of V8-slaying of torque. And that power created numbers that not only bested GM's own Camaro and Corvette. but also catapulted Buick to the forefront of '80s performance! Presently. this T-Type's well-maintained sixer features fresh and pliable ancillaries that are ready for lots of warm weather and tons of rich boost. Everything. from its "BUICK" branded hood mat to its correct 25526109 casting number. is in great condition. And overall. the engine is a smooth-revving land rocket that's clean. sorted and ready to roll. DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSIONThe car's hot engine spins torque through a correct. "BRF" tagged 4-speed that's a member of the ultra-reliable Turbo-Hydramatic family; an honorable and faithful group that's survived behind GM's toughest performance blocks for decades. That seasoned transmission twists correct gears. which offer a great combination of starting line grip and high-speed cruising. And. under that first-class drivetrain. double A-arm front and 4-link rear Gran Touring suspensions create NASCAR-inspired handling characteristics. Of course. all that power demands a good set of binders. with GM's proven front discs combining with Buick's beefy aluminum drums to provide solid. power-assisted stops. Quick-ratio power steering makes cornering easy and turning a cinch. A single-into-dual exhaust system makes good use of free-breathing Pypes mufflers. At the corners. original wheels spin 225/50R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/As in front of 235/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/As. And. aesthetically. the bottom of this Buick is exactly what you'd expect from an immaculately maintained cruiser. INTERIORNaturally. the Dark Blue cockpit is just as cool as the rest of the car. featuring NOS replacement components that were installed during the aforementioned restoration. Comfortable velour seats are nicely patterned pieces that feel every bit as supple as they look. In front of those seats. a silver-trimmed dash hangs simple telemetry above factory air conditioning and a correct Delco-GM tape deck. Below that dash. a small console frames a simple shifter. Dark Blue carpet shows a surprisingly minimal amount of wear thanks to color-keyed floor mats. At the sides. clean door panels wrap small accessory switches in a stylish combination of velour. carpet and plastic while an attractive. 3-spoke steering wheel spins an elegant "T" around a tilting column and functional cruise control. And behind the passengers. a spacious trunk conceals a small spare tire beneath unrestored decklid paint.
