1987 Buick T Ltd.
120K + miles. Solid Roof car. 2 owners. No smokers ever. Silver Exterior. Split bench velour grey Interior. PW, PDL. PTrunk, PANT (works), Auto dim mirror, AC (needs charge), $8,000
Will post pics later. The car is north of Seattle.
Mild modifications:
ATR SS 2.5” Exhaust
ATR Downpipe
Walbro FP, hotwired
AFPR
30 lb injectors
TA-49 Turbo
Adj Waste gate
K&N
Rare ASC/Mclaren GNX dash/gauges
Aftermarket rear differential cover with cooling fins and Buick/6 logo.
G80 Posi added by original owner.
CD player, multi player in trunk
Chrome under hood includes: Hood struts, alternator, Brake res cap, hood latch, MAF pipe, TB pipe, Turbo shield, CC brkt, and more. Alum caps on overflow, oil and trans dips, power steering, etc.
Exterior. Entire car repainted by original owner many years ago. Passenger fender and door, hood repainted for minor repairs in the last 2 years. MINOR repair. 10-15 foot looks good. Had factory rear spoiler installed by 1st owner. Looks stock. The car is straight, no rust. Needs right front passenger wheel well trim. Also needs correct window “felt” on passenger side. Current one pinches the window. Needs the one that slips under the chrome trim on door.
Interior. Very nice condition. No rips and tears, original and clean. Front seat rebuilt and new cushions. Rare carpet in excellent condition. Stock AM/FM w/EQ. Works fine. Dash plastic cracked above speaker. Interior door handles need cosmetic. Removed peeling mylar from interior trim on door panel.
Engine. Runs excellent. Blows no smoke. Car has had nothing but Mobil 1 since new. Runs strong. Boost kept at 16 lbs for most of the time we’ve owned it.
Transmission. Works fine. Cable set to shift a little firm. Needs a new torque converter switch to lock up converter. Otherwise, it shifts into 4th no problem, just doesn’t lock up. Has a nice aftermarket pan with cooling fins and magnetic drain plug.
Performance: It’s not been a race car and was taken to the track only 2-3 times running pump gas with low boost. On street tires ran 13.70’s with no tuning.
Wheels and Tires. Stock Alum rims in good condition. Need 1 center cap. Tires in excellent shape. 235-60-15 BFG’s (5K miles).
Overall, this is a nice driver. It is not a beater. For those in the NW, you don’t even see TR’s of any type for sale anymore. As with cars of this age, you can find all kinds of little cosmetic things to fix, or mods to make, etc. Just depends on what you want to do with the car. It is a low production number car ( 1 of 1035), so it is worth putting money into.
I’m selling because I have 2 other cars to spend money on (and not enough of it!) and no garage space for this one. These cars should be preserved, because you know they’ll never ever make anything like them again.
