FOR SALE is a clean and rare 87 Buick Regal Turbo T Limited with only 83k original miles. There were only 1035 of the 87 Turbo T Limited produced making it the rarest of the T’s. This one is factory Grey with the Grey Leather interior.
This car has been off the road in storage since 2001. The car has NEVER been involved in any major accidents. This car spent all its life in South eastern MA. The original paint was checking so in 1995 the car was stripped and repainted in PPG Base coat clear coat. As stated this is a one owner car and comes with all the original paperwork. It was purchased new at Carney Buick in Hanover MA. on October 29th 1986 for $18,968.
The interior is CLEAN. The rear seat looks absolutely new. The headliner was is perfect. The leather steering wheel is near perfect. The tilt column is as tight as new. The door panels are nice. The drivers side has 3 small spots near the top front area. Please keep in mind I am real fussy and most would not worry about this. The front leather seats are in good shape. The only real obvious wear is on the small piping on the outside edge of the drivers seat right at the bottom and just above the power seat switch. The drivers power seat works perfect. The plastic dash filler in between the dash and the windshield has some cracks (Very Common in these cars). The carpet is near perfect (some dirt on drivers side) and is the original deep carpet that came in only in the Limited. Air Conditioner is still R12 and blows cold. The power windows and door locks work fine. The power antenna is stuck in the up position. The factory landau top is in good shape but does have some cracking. The body is very solid. The original floor pans are solid. I took the carpet out to clean it and was very happy to see the floors were solid. The trunk is solid and very clean complete with all the original spare tire, jack and handle. The bottom seams of the doors on the inside have some rust showing, but none on the outside. The driver’s side quarter has some minor rust right at the bottom corner behind the wheel. The driver’s door has a crease and some paint scratches down low near the stainless. The passenger front fender has some minor dings. The stainless trim is in great shape. Some of the aluminum trim could use a refinish due to some visual defects, but no dents. These are minor but I want to be thorough in my description. I will do my best to disclose everything so there are no surprises. Overall this is a very nice original clean car. Please keep in mind the car is 23 years old.
