Before the Regal, Buick had already proven their capability to build personal luxury cars, being the very first in the entire GM division to do so when they released the Riviera in 1963. Buick however felt like they could do better, and introduced the first generation Regal in 1973. While the car was successful, it would forever go on to live in the shadows of its predecessor, with the second-gen Regal becoming one of the most popular cars to ever come out of a Buick factory. This generation of the Regal lasted 10 years and was offered in an array of trim levels, one of which was the Buick Regal Limited as featured here. As for the example in question, reports suggests that it has just 34,000 miles on its engine, which would make it a treasure for any Buick enthusiast
In 1981, the Regal received a facelift that made it much more aerodynamically capable than before, so much so, that the car became a NASCAR favorite, and was driven to victory by Richard Petty in the 1981 Daytona 500. This 1986 Buick Regal Limited shows off those body lines perfectly thanks to its exceptional gloss black paint. Being the 'Limited' trim, this car received an abundance of chrome treatment, from the front grille, exhaust tips, bumpers and even framing of the wheel arches. Thus, the Regal Limited was meant to stand out as the epitome of Buick luxury. You won't find many examples in this condition today. The vehicle sits on a set of multi-spoke rims that are wrapped in Goodyear Integrity tires. While the Regal Limited does impress from the outside, the interior is a topic of its own. With plush bench-style seating in a beautiful royal burgundy color that is complemented by color matching leather and fine varnish accents, the car really captures 80s style luxury. Everything from the dash panel to the floormats on this car has been color-matched and maintained to perfection. This example also has air conditioning and a period-correct Delco radio cassette with those glorious sliders and knobs that are oh-so-coveted on Eighties stereo systems.
This 1986 Buick Regal Limited is powered by a 5.0L OHV V8 that sends drive to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission, ideal for a stately cruise befitting such a vehicle.

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. The car pushes a four-figure horsepower digit at the wheels, and the current owner proudly tells us that it does a 5.2 in the 1/8th at 131mph. Want more figures? How about an 8.4 in the quarter mile, passing the line at a staggering 161mph? Furthermore, this build has just 4,500 miles on it, and comes with some creature comforts that make it a viable regular car when required.
If the '60s was known for its golden era of muscle cars, then the '80s must be known for its excess. The 1987 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo is the perfect example, with this luxury coupe grabbing the big power figures and offering performance that characterized Buick’s entry into the performance car market. Our featured car presents a rare opportunity to snag a low-mileage, one-owner example of a 1987 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo. The current owner reports that they bought the car new in 1986. Since then, the owner reports the car has covered an original mileage of just 23,000 miles. In addition to having a numbers-matching engine and transmission, this Buick Regal features all original books and manuals, which will be included in the sale.
The Buick Reatta was General Motors’ attempt to create a distinctly American personal luxury coupe with a more intimate, driver-focused personality than Buick’s traditional large sedans. Handcrafted in relatively limited numbers at GM’s specialized Reatta Craft Centre in Lansing, Michigan, the Reatta represented an unusual blend of premium comfort, futuristic technology, and compact proportions. This 1991 Buick Reatta Coupe shows just 19,120 miles, making it an exceptionally low-mileage example of a model that remains something of an overlooked modern classic. Finished in Bright Red over Saddle leather, this Reatta presents with the kind of crisp, period-correct styling that defined early-1990s GM design, while its low production numbers and unusual backstory give it genuine collector intrigue.
The Buick LeSabre was a full-size model that was one of Buick’s longest-running nameplates. Introduced in 1959, it was made across eight generations until 2005. Today’s 1975 Buick LeSabre Convertible is a lovely red drop-top from Rudford, Michigan and has done just 47,268 miles so far. The car packs a 3-speed automatic transmission, chrome wire wheels and even the original window sticker! And let’s not forget its large 455ci V8 up front, a symbol of luxury itself back in the day.
The first-generation Buick Riviera remains one of the most elegant American personal luxury coupes ever produced, and the 1967 model represents the final and most refined year of the original design. Penned under the direction of Bill Mitchell, the Riviera combined dramatic proportions, hidden headlights, and unmistakable GM styling with serious big-block performance, creating a uniquely sophisticated grand touring machine. This 1967 Buick Riviera, showing just 3,059 miles, presents as a beautifully restored and tastefully upgraded example finished in striking Blue over a Blue and White interior. Powered by Buick’s formidable 430ci V8 and enhanced with select performance and cosmetic upgrades, this Riviera offers the ideal blend of classic luxury, vintage American muscle, and effortless cruising presence.
