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.
Exterior and Interior
Wearing a nice coat of black paint, the squarish lines and straight edges of the second generation Regal are perfectly showcased by this 1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo. With its wedge-inspired shape, frameless doors with tinted glass and quad headlamps, it’s an Eighties icon to behold! The car also comes with 15-inch chrome plated Turbo-style alloy wheels with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. It’s truly a lovely sight to behold. The interior of this 1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo comes with gray and black cloth for the seats and can accommodate up to four adults. The cabin contains some interesting period features, most notably within the center console. Here, you’ll find an electronic touch-controlled climate control system with air conditioning. Then, there’s a radio with cassette tape player and a 5-band graphic equalizer, replete with physical sliders! This is hooked up to a Concert Sound II premium speaker system. Pop the trunk and there’s decent space that rivals some of today’s sedans, and comes with something that almost all of them omit – a spare wheel!
Engine
The factory figures for this 1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo are around 235 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. Impressive figures, especially for the Eighties when anything over 200 horsepower was considered to be positively sporting. A 4-speed automatic transmission drives the rear wheels. You’ve also got sequential multi-port fuel injection, an upgraded intercooler set-up, performance tuned suspension and four-wheel disc brakes.
The 1987 Buick Regal Grand National stands as one of the most legendary American performance cars of the 1980s, proving that turbocharging could outperform the era’s traditional V8-powered rivals.

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.
