I ordered the car new, just started as a mechanic at a Buick dealer. I was looking at the '87 Mustangs when I went to work at Buick. Starting out doing new car preps I got to drive the turbo Buicks, brand new still in the wrapper
 Needless to say I didn't buy a Mustang, but have "owned" many

The engine has never been opened other than rear main seal, all bolt on mods. Only one trip to the track, three runs on borrowed 235 BFDR, netted best ET 12.03 highest mph 112.9 for the night. Tire spin

Wow that is cool to hear you were a mechanic at a Buick dealership when these cars came out... I know of one guy down here named Byron (who happens to be an electrical/wiring guru) that has worked for Buick for over 20 years and I believe he also bought a T brand new while working at a dealership...
Thanks for sharing

I too am in the long time Turbo Buick owner's club. I bought an 86 T Type in May of 1986 and then an 87 T in Nov of 1990 that I still own today (the 87 replaced the 86 when it got T-boned while I was going through a traffic light in it back in Oct 1990). I remember seeing bunches of Turbo Buicks sitting on dealer lots back then, and how different they were under the hood from any other car I had ever seen. To be honest, I had a hard time figuring out how the engine even ingested any air through that maze of pipes, LOL. I also remember the seeing a couple of GNX's in showroom windows, they were quite a sight. Very bad a$$ for back then (for nowadays too for that matter). Ahhhh, the good old days.....
