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 Regal is an elegant design quintessentially a creation of the ’80s. With its long hood and short rear deck, there’s no mistaking it for anything else. This 1987 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo is finished in Metallic Grey. It sits on Turbo wheels, which are wrapped in BFGoodrich rubber. The owner reports that the paint was re-cleared, while at the rear, you’ll find a larger aftermarket exhaust. Inside the Regal T-Type Turbo you’ll find a black and grey interior that appears to be in immaculate condition. The sills feature “Body by Fisher” badges, and you’ll find a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel complete with the “T” logo at its center.
Under the hood is a 3.8-liter turbocharged V6 engine. For the performance versions of the Regal, Buick embraced forced induction and offered a car with impressive low-end torque and power figures that made this coupe a genuine performer. The Turbo-T was rated to produce 245 hp and 355 lb-ft of torque when new. The current owner reports that they have further enhanced performance by chipping the engine. The engine and its automatic transmission are also noted as being numbers matching, making this a rare low-mileage and unmolested example.

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.

One of the shortest-lived nameplates in Buick history has got to be the Invicta. In fact, this full-size offering packed in two generations within just five years. The first generation ran for 1959 and 1960, while the second was made from 1961 to 1963. Given the car’s short production run, it’s no surprise that the market isn’t awash with examples. Thankfully, we have this 53,667-mile 1959 Buick Invicta for sale today. With its 401ci V8 and automatic gearbox, this Miami-based classic is the perfect choice for someone seeking an unconventional automobile to cherish, and of course, drive.
The 1937 Buick Special Series 40 Convertible represents a distinctive moment in prewar American automotive design, blending elegant Art Deco styling with the smooth, streamlined proportions that defined Buick’s entry-level luxury models of the era. While Buick was known for refinement and engineering sophistication in the 1930s, this example advances that legacy by integrating modern performance and comfort into a classic platform. Finished in Silver and fitted with a Carson-style removable top, this restomod preserves the graceful lines of the original convertible while transforming it into a high-performance cruiser that bridges prewar aesthetics and contemporary hot rod culture.
Buick’s GS or Gran Sport tag was initially applied to the automaker’s Skylark model in the Sixties, before extending to cover hot variants of the Riviera, Wildcat and Century. Choosing a GS Buick meant that you were availing yourself to some pretty impressive and giant-killing performance. Here, we’ve got a 1966 Buick Skylark GS for sale from what better place than Indianapolis! With 2,600 miles since some comprehensive work, this beast comes with a 494ci V8, a T-56 6-speed manual box, a new black interior and many more things to make this Skylark soar like an eagle.
This is a striking 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Restomod that has been expertly upgraded for an exceptional driving experience. With only 7,275 miles on the odometer, this vehicle has undergone significant enhancements to provide modern performance while retaining its classic appeal. The Bel Air features a luxurious two-tone leather interior, power windows, and seats, ensuring comfort and convenience. An upgraded Dakota digital dash adds modern flair, while custom touches like a full-length center console and premium sound system enhance the driving experience. This vehicle represents a perfect blend of vintage styling and contemporary functionalities, appealing to both collectors and enthusiasts.
This 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Tojan represents a pinnacle of the "Tuner Era," being a GM-commissioned, factory-authorized supercar built by Knudsen Automotive to challenge European exotics. This specific survivor is exceptionally significant due to its all-original, unrestored condition with only over 63,000 miles shown, and its provenance as a special-order vehicle delivered to Stadium Pontiac in Anaheim. Equipped with high-end performance features like a Gale Banks suspension, Gotti wheels, and Recaro leather, this chassis serves as a documented benchmark for the model, having been featured in Pontiac Enthusiast Magazine. It is a rare "investment grade" example of 1980s engineering, distinguishing itself from contemporary kit cars as a legitimate, limited-production performance icon.
The car that famously went underwater in the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me, the wedge-shaped Lotus Esprit has got its share of fans on both sides of the Atlantic. If you’ve always lusted after one of these stylish cars, we have this fiery red 1991 Lotus Esprit Turbo for sale right now in Jasper, Georgia. With its 2.2-liter turbocharged mid-mounted engine, manual gearbox and dual exhaust system, this is a car that begs to be driven at every opportunity. It’s got 71,000 miles on the clock, a beautiful tan interior and even a body-colored removable top! What’s not to like?
