1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo

The Buick Regal is one of those nameplates from the Seventies that you can still buy today, albeit not in North America, but China! Introduced in 1973, just as the Malaise Era was taking hold, the Regal has always been the premium midsize offering from this storied American automaker. Regals have been made in coupe, sedan and station wagon forms, and come with some hot variants too. North American Regal sales ceased in 2020, as Buick wanted to refocus its attention towards solely selling SUVS in North America. Today, we have a second-generation 1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo for sale from Downey, California. This was considered quite a hot car in its time, due to its punchy 3.8-liter turbo V6 and performance-tuned suspension. This 44,107-mile car also comes with an upgraded intercooler set-up for a bit more bite.

Buick’s midsize offering from 1973 to 2004, the Regal, entered the market just as the Malaise Era was getting started. So, instead of moaning about the stringent emissions and economy regulations, Buick made it a bit more upmarket than segment contenders. Then, the second generation came about in 1978, bringing with it fresh styling and a station wagon body style. Then, in 1982, the Grand National trim came out, to celebrate Buick winning the Manufacturers Cup in 1981 and 1982 for the NASCAR Winston Cup Grand National. Buick proudly advertised the car as “What wins on Sunday sells on Monday”. Up for sale today is a 1985 Buick Regal Grand National, but one that’s been extensively modified.
