87 Turbo Buick "T" F/S

[REGALTURBO]

In all honesty....the shocks are the best Monroe had too offer. When I put the suspension back together I had planned on QA1s. I was ancious to get the car out and driving so I slapped in the Monroes because they were 5 minutes away. But the car rides fantastic with them. There is no doubt in my mind that the QA1s are not only a better performing shock but they would also help with the cars launching capability.
When I had the TE-44 turbo and 42.5lb injectors I went 11.80s all day on the drag radials. I threw on the slicks and went 11.50 off a foot brake launch. Most guys told me that was about the best I`d get out of that TE-44 so actually the shocks didn`t seem to be much of a concern.
I just didn`t think they were a priority....

I need to put a set of shocks on the rear of my car is the reason I ask..Those looked nice. The Monroes had that polished finish on them? Thx

 

[REGALTURBO]

The shocks are just the way they came. I always kept them clean and thru some wax on`em every time I detailed the underneath. I guess after a few times they started to gloss up a bit.

LOL..You're crazy man. I mean who polishes a shock? Is that what they call it in NY? : )

Thx for the info. Someone is going to get one of the cleanest cars around.

 

[REGALTURBO]

Anyone can call it whatever they want....LOL

Call it anal, call it ocd, call it meticulous....

In my garage I like to call it near perfect, because no car is perfect. Every car has a flaw or two here and there. I just like my stuff clean...

 

[sullen]

near perfect indeed.
wish i was in the market, i love this car.

just curious here as why this one is getting the boot, rather than one of your stockers??

I`ve basically had the Buick bug for 10 years now or so. The 87 will be the next to go. Maybe I`ll keep the 86 for the T-tops.
With this car I just had one goal in mind....fast with class! I wanted a super clean car that ran 10s. While I didn`t get the time slip (yet) I`m pretty confident my combo will get it there. So I pretty much accomplished what I wanted to do when I bought this one.
Now its time to rotate the stock (as they say) and start a new project.

For me thats 99% of the fun....

ttt...

Spring time approaching quickly.
Take a close look at my photos, this car is done right.

They say its a buyers market and in the case of this car...it is!

You`d invest double what I`m asking.

Any questions please e-mail me.

Thanks

What might you want for the 87 GN ?????

 

["Turbo-T"]

Nice car. I like the Wal Mart smiley face on the differential cover.

 

[REGALTURBO]

The 87 is as clean as my T...top and bottom. All stock. 7000miles with some change.

I couldn`t take under $30,000.00 for that.

But it might be the one to keep.

The 86 is next to go.

Very Nice Car!

nice car

nice car!
Have you upgraded the brakes>?

 

[REGALTURBO]

The brakes are stock all the way around. New rotors, drums, pads and shoes. All hardware and s-10 brake cylinders.

For those interested...summer is here and I`ve renewed the registration and inspection.

I`ve got a new camcorder. For those interested I`d be willing to e-mail short video clips of something specific. I`m new to the video thing and just learning my camera so I`m not claiming to create a movie or anything.

Any questions e-mail me.

$21,000.00 takes the car. I have a car trailer and will deliver within a reasonable distance but not out of New York State.
