30k-Mile 1987 Buick Regal Turbo-T

Description

The 1987 Buick Regal Turbo-T represents a rare and refined alternative to the more aggressive Grand National, offering the same turbocharged performance in a subtler, more understated package. Finished in Astral Silver, it pairs factory muscle with a sleeper aesthetic that’s aged gracefully.

This is a documented low-mileage example showing just 29,825 original miles. It reportedly retains its original paint, wheels, and interior, and has never been restored—making it a true time capsule of Buick’s turbocharged legacy. Period-correct Kenne Bell upgrades enhance its performance and presence, including a cold air intake, upgraded intercooler system, and a front chin spoiler. The desirable factory blackout and sport packages further elevate its appeal, while a professional conversion from the original Powermaster brake system to a vacuum-assist setup improves reliability.
