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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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 1987 Buick Regal Grand National is one of the most recognizable American performance cars of the 1980s, combining stealthy styling with groundbreaking turbocharged power.

With its rear-wheel-drive layout, factory turbo technology, and unmistakable Grand National appearance, this example remains a highly collectible piece of American muscle car history. Showing 95,035 miles, it offers the opportunity to own one of Buick’s most celebrated performance icons.
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.

Showing just 38,354 miles, this example retains the unmistakable character that made the Grand National a legend among enthusiasts. Disclaimer: Rebuilt shown on title.
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.
The 1999 Buick Riviera Silver Arrow Limited Edition marked the end of an era, serving as a commemorative send-off for the Riviera nameplate after decades as one of Buick’s most distinctive personal luxury coupes. This example is #27 of just 200 produced and shows only 28,978 miles. Finished in Sterling Silver Metallic over a Medium Gray leather interior, it pairs understated late-1990s luxury with the stronger personality of Buick’s supercharged 3800 Series II V6. Special Silver Arrow badging, interior logos, and its numbered plaque distinguish this car from a standard Riviera, while the low production count gives it genuine collector appeal.
The 1942 Buick Super 4-Door Touring Sedan comes from a brief and historically significant model year, with civilian automobile production soon giving way to wartime priorities. Showing approximately 78,842 miles, this example is powered by Buick’s 248ci “Fireball” inline-eight, bored .030-inch over, and paired with a 3-speed manual transmission. Finished in gray over a gray interior, it retains the formal proportions and unmistakable prewar character of Buick’s Super line while also benefiting from a refreshed front suspension. The current owner notes that the radio, heater, and temperature gauge are inoperable, and the car retains its original spare tire.
This 1957 Buick Roadmaster Riviera 2-Door Hardtop is pure late-1950s American excess in the best possible way, combining dramatic Harley Earl-era styling with the torque-rich character of Buick’s Nailhead V8. Showing approximately 14,574 miles, this example was refurbished in the late 2000s and is finished in Dover White and Bittersweet Red over a Rust and Ivory interior. The car was later upgraded with an Air Lift Performance air suspension system. Add in power steering, power brakes, power windows, a power front bench seat, Hot Rod Air climate control, and wide whitewalls, and this Roadmaster delivers the extravagant look of a flagship ’50s Buick with a few thoughtful upgrades that make it even more enjoyable today.
