As I am to understand, when the WE4 was added to the line up, as you said, the WO2 black out on a 19 black regal became unavailable. I am not sure and have never seen any documentation that the nonWO2 was unavailable but you don't see many black non we4/we2 87 cars.
if you are interested in things like this suggest a copy of Dennis Kirban's Book.
I'm sure this is copy righted and may need to come down, not sure. Just using to show documentation.

I have seen one wo2 87. He used to go to the track I did. At the time I didn't know what a we4 (even though I owned it)was but we did notice his had the chrome bumpers and hood ornament.
I used to see one in Farmers Branch/Addison area in N Dallas. It was a Limited and chromed out with cornering lamps, grey leather and a cf5 moonroof. Very loaded.
So I have seen two that I know of(though I have no idea where either went).

The wo2 car was original paint for sure as the guy was the original owner. The other I would assume(never know) original as these were seen in the late eighties when the cars were new.

Got a pic? Wanna see how it looks with the chrome...
The previous owner installed fiberglass bumpers and didn't have the originals. I would have thought they would have been black with the W02 option. I've since replaced the front ones with the black powdercoated bumpers from gbodyparts. Oddly enough, there is a car for sale in my area that is black with chrome treatment, although from his description these were not original:

Here is a pic of mine when it still had fiberglass bumper: http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/threads/sf-bay-area-spotted-thread.244860/page-12 in post #233
The T badges have been removed, note the header panel is hood-ornament-less, I'm guessing the previous owner got a GN or GN repro and installed it. Also has an antenna delete fender - also probably not original as the car came with Concert Sound II. Also has a dealer installed astroroof

Yea thats weird looking with the black paint and chrome bumpers. And chrome headlight fillers. Weird...
Yes the car is black, that was the same figure I heard 200. I called kirban and talked with Dennis himself and he wasn't sure how many were made. Don't know where the 200 figure came from, interesting 2 different people said the same thing would just like some proof to prove it
