Two Tone Silver Gray Metallic 1987 Turbo Regal Buick D84 code - Designer T-Type Ordered out by the original owner - He went thru the list and checked off exactly what he wanted. This is a RARE great looking 'under the radar' Turbo Regal that will get up and GO when you want it to. A lthough it has gone fast, it has been driven conservatively. It has been mainly driven for one or two tank trips & vacations. It's been cared for with reliability & EZ maintenance in mind. No track time - so it's highway mileage - not a 1/4 mile at a time or trips to the grocery store. No parking lot war door dings or B pillar stress cracks. It's not perfect but is a super nice car capable of vacation or weekend away "Going fast with class!" It gets plenty of respect and was fun for us. It just hasn't gotten the exercise it needs in the last couple years. We have other interests & demands so it is time for us to sell. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING 1987 Buick T Type aka Turbo T with 73K+ Original Miles – In our 8-9 years we have not allowed smoking in the car and are the second owners. The previous owner, also a non-smoker, ordered it out and had the dealer rust proof the car thinking it might be driven on WI winter highways: It was not. We have not driven it in WI winter (no salt) and I can’t remember the last time we drove it in the rain. The original owner from WI was in the Armed Services for a few years & drove it summers in MN, one winter in TX and stored it the following winter while stationed in WA State (Neither used road salt). We always stored it indoors year round. Before and after storage oil changes always include ZDDP (zinc additive). Key Options: Include Posi, moon roof, power antenna, trunk kit, manual seats, door locks, windows, & all other standard Turbo Regal options in 1987. This car is near stock and has always been that way. It spent time in the shop for necessary regular preventative maintenance & updates and for a nice repaint. It starts and runs well and is clean in and out. Engine bay shows rustproofing on body parts and is otherwise clean (but has never perfectly detailed). Overall condition: I believe the car to be about an 8 on a scale of 10. Nice repaint in 2007. Tinted windshield was replaced if I recall. 6000 professional paint work with all chrome, moon roof and trim items removed and NOS GM weather-strip installed. Missing Regal body bushing installed. Good B.F Goodrich TA’s and Detroit Vintage Refinished T Wheels include chrome GTA caps w/Tri-Shield Buick medallions. (Original black caps are available if you want them instead.) Original 9 hole hood pad is still on the car. Bumper fillers are usually an issue with G Body Regals but not on this car. The originals on this northern (cool climate) garage kept car are pliable and were nicely refinished during the repaint. Starts, stops and runs great. The problematic Powermaster brake system has been regularly flushed and one of the new design Cardone accumulator balls has been installed by a Grand National experienced certified repair shopExteriorPaint is nice – occasional "Best of Class" show winner. There are a few small chips and a couple spots that could use some buffing. It has been clayed but not buffed out since the painter buffed out his work. I wax it and hand wash it as high pressure automated car washes cause the moon roof to leak. Pin striping was done by the painter to match original and looks great. Chrome and stainless is nice with few flaws. Headlight bezels were replaced with NOS GM parts after repaint and remain nice. Lighting is clear and bright with NOS yellow bumper turn signals and super nice original tail light lenses and trim. Interior: Interior upgrades done include NOS GM door escutcheons & screw covers as well as upper door panels done by JAX (In their MILW. Days) New moon roof ABS head liner was fitted with matching gray moon roof shade done also by JAX. The carpet is good but shows some wear and there is a small threadbare heel mark near the gas pedal. Bucket fronts seats & rear bench seat are excellent but have a couple very minor flaws. Upper dash (speaker panel) cover has a couple of cracks and could be replaced or repaired but is still nice appearing. Trunk has a rare factory carpet kit in nearly original condition. Console plate is in nice clean shiny condition as are controls, vents, and trim. Plastic trim is nice throughout including dash bezels. Gauge lenses appear shiny & clear with a very minimum of scuffs. Engine, transmission & brakes: The stock original unopened block (rear main) marks the garage floor like moriginal LC2 Regals – not bad at all. Oil changed every 3000 miles (or more oft
