Wife has finally made the difficult decision to part with her beloved 1987 Buick Turbo 'T'. This car has been kept in pristine condition, always garaged and only has 80k original miles. This is one of the nicest Turbo T's in existence. Exterior is gorgeous and interior flawless. It was repainted several years ago with an expensive Dupont system in the correct 87 GN black, including all new GM weather-stripping as well as the expensive GM opera window/gaskets), GNX style air extractors on front fenders (with custom inner fender vents under the hood to compliment), all new GM exterior black out trim etc. The engine is all original and the heads have never been off. Original turbo, rock solid 200-4R trans and D5 converter, original 3.42 limited slip axle. Amsoil and Mobil 1 used throughout most of its life with Brad Penn 10w30 (high ZDDP) used in recent years for engine. Original GN turbo hood was painted at the same time as the car and is included in the sale. All performance mods to this car are minor and were done with the primary objective of improving overall performance/efficiency while complimenting the excellent package developed by Buick Engineers.
Some of the other highlights that have been added:
GNX style VDO full gauge package
Kirban GNX style wheels (16x8)
255-50-ZR-16 BFG Comp T/A's (and drag radial versions on the rear)

Correct GM Mini Starter
ATR “cleaned up” & polished Plenum
Adjustable Fuel pressure regulator and pillar mounted gauge/pod
Aluminum Driveshaft
