Nay. Not that I am aware of anyway. I know the Buick Grand Nationals were. This is a diamond in the rough. It's officially a vintage this year.

T-types were turbo. Hence the "T"

If i could read the VIN i would run it just to make fun of the guy.




Maybe he meant T-top?

Like Camarokiller said.. the T-Type, Grand National, and GNX were all turbo 3.8L V6's.

The difference with the GNX, is that it was a limited production version of the Grand National, which was modified and tuned by McLaren.
All differences can be found here; http://www.buickgnx.com/

SyTy owners are very familar with GN and T-types. Most of us use the same type of turbo upgrades.

you guys all sound dumb they did make t-type 's that where not turbo I happen to have one a 87 t-type. It dont have a 305 or a 350. It has a olds 307. T-tops and came from factory like that as a T-type they are more rare then the turbo. But not worth as much. I have owned alot of these cars and have learned alot over the years about them and at one point owned every type of regal made pre 1987

he's right read this. I wouldn't say someone is dumb because they haven't boned up on there Regal knowledge. For most of us the turbo cars are the only worthy cars, we don't care about the hydraulics and crap like that. With out the turbo its just another ugly car.

They did make Turbo Regals that weren't Grand Nationals. I remember seeing one in the John Candy movie, "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles". Hilarious movie.

I love how his description contradicts his title.

This is a all original 1987 T-Type regal no clone.The car has T-Tops and is silver in color the car does have some minor rust spots but can be saved.This car is very rare and is hard to find being this clean, the car runs and drives great. I was told that with this car being a 1987 it was the last year that it was produced so for the price its a steal and it must go. This is a V-8 original car so serios buyers only if you want a turbo car dont call Thank You (810)814-6379
