Just an introduction

I have been lurking around this site for a few years as I own a 87 T type that I bought new and it now has around 90,000 klms on it. I ordered it and as I didn't want a black car I got the T type with T roofs and dark red (almost like dark cherry) and all the stainless trim that the regular regal had. I traded it on a new Dodge with cummins in 94 (still have that) and bought it back from the new owner two years later. He had only put 5,000 klms on it during that time. Haven't used it much since then. I usually put insurance on it every other year for the summer months. It is all stock except for he exhaust which I had to replace two years ago. Replaced that with a Hooker system. Because I ordered it with all the bright moundings I was wondering how rare that is for a T-type?? Don't plan on making the same mistake of selling it again. I would post of pic, but can't quite fiqure out how.

Thanks Randy, are there instructions for attaching pic on this site?? I tried attaching a url from a host site but it didn't work like it does on other forums I frequent.

So yours is a Turbo T, but it basically has all of the Limited trim?

Do you have a floor shifter and buckets, or is yours like my Limited? It has the column shift and bench seat.

Man there's alot of crazy options with these cars, huh?!

Here's mine.... It's a year old pic, but the only external thing different now is the wheels.

Correction needed. His car is a turbo Regal. A WE4 is the Turbo T.

The Limited moldings were an option. RPO WF6.


Nice car. Sounds like the only one of its kind north of the border.

Welby, it has bucket seats with floor shift. I had all the original paper work for it but somewhere between several moves it disappeared and I have given up looking for it. That included the dealer order and confirmation and build sheet etc. A good friend of mine was a salesman at the dealership and they were allowed to order 5 or 6 of the GN's. So we sat down and orded a Regal with the color I wanted with the GN drivetrain.

Sweet looking 87!
I really like the extra chrome on the bottom, looooking sharp

You ordered it new, WOW, that is really sweet.
Wished i could have done that, but i was 12 years old at the time
