Rarest TR Option??!!

Of course.....BUT were not here for the reasons behind the way these cars were optioned, Just HOW yours is!!....;) Like i've said, haven't seen another like it in my 20 years of being around these cars.........:biggrin:

My 87 has manual seats, manual, locks, manual windows, remote trunk, CCII with non EQ radio, no rear defrost, dual remote mirrors.

I would say a 87 Base regal with Turbo engine, alum drums, alum bumper, posi, radio delete, no power would be rare. I would love to have a light blue one with DK blue int....dream on.
Ordered my T with as few options as I could, even tried to get A/C delete:rolleyes:
Only ordered the necessities, LC2, G80, Concert Sound II, black out and T package w/ console & buckets.

Light Metallic Blue, Blue interior...mine since May 5 1987.:)

Ok...I have THE rarest option. 87 GN With radio delete AND power antenna!!! Have NEVER seen another like it in 20+ years. Thank you......thank you very much....:D

Ken B.

RE-Read my post my limited came radio delete power antenna as well. I added the CS2,Radio & factory wiring & speakers.
 
Ok Brian.........You and I have the RAREST ones then!!:D

Honestly Ken you are the first I have ever heard that had that besides me. I think the alky cars are the rarest optioned cars in my opinion. Not sure if that counts since they were not sold to the public as an option.

The craziest optioned cars I have ever seen have always been the limiteds.
 
I have the ULTRA rare Twin Turbo, FBI, high speed pursuit option T-Type. I have been hearing about them for the 20 years that I have been playing with Turbo Buicks. Here is PROOF that Buick made a twin turbo car!!!! It even has AC, power steering, pwr windows, pwr door locks, landau padded vinyl top, chrome bumpers (so the drug dealers don't notice it) and remote trunk release ('cept on this one, the button is located under the brake release lever) It also has top secret alcohol injection. It injects alcohol into the plenum through 6 nozzles. I am thinking of putting it on E-bay for $250,000. Anyone else have one of these twin turbo pursuit cars? They are the rarest of ALL Turbo Regals! I have not had it floored on the freeway, as it is WAY too fast and it would require clearance from the FAA to go that fast! Anyone with a space suite want to drive it? It does need to be throttled up every once in a while. (that's what the paperwork says that came with it.) I think Buzz Lightyear use to do the testing in it. (it came with a Buzz Lightyear driving suit) To Infiniti and beyond!!!!!:biggrin:

whats the differrence between the 60/40 and the 45/45 seats.. not really sure wich one i have..... does any one have any pics??? thanks.... dont know how rare mine can be......ill try posting up a picture if i can... and also whic one is the shorty console??? thanks

I have posted pix of several different combinations. The pillow type (both leather and velour) were the Limited ones in '87 but the leather could be had in the T-Type in '86. I've not seen a velour pillow type seat in an '86 but have seen both tan(buckskin?) and grey in the '86. The 45/45 would generally have the "short" concole in reference to its length as its height was taller than the long console.

It appears as I have "limited out"(Couldn't resist) on my attachment so I'll post more in the next post.

more interior pix

the second last pic in the previous post is of the base 60/40 bench. In Kirban's book he states the '86 leather was very rare. I believe it as I only know of two I have seen(One was dark blue with tan leather and the other was black w/ grey leather).

I do love these type(couldn't resist again) discussions of the various option combinations. I used to like the real stripped down street racer special type cars, but as I get older I really like the leather with lots of power options. I'd really like to come across some of the ones I've seen in the past including the black limited I looked at in north Dallas at least 15 yrs ago. Grey Leather gut, CF5, cornering lamps, and Chrome trim. Or the Grey Limited I used to see in Carrolton with the half vinyl top. Or the Two tone grey/silver '87 I looked at in '88 or '89 buckets with the CF5. All were way out of my budget then as well as now but they were really nice cars when I looked at them. I wish I had pix of them.

Are these the kind of pix you were looking for Royal_6?

whats that^^^^^^t83 and t93? :confused:
 
Ok, my 87 Turbo T has the manual outside chrome mirrors (RPO code DR3). I was told by Kirban himself that only a handful of turbo regals had this option. By the way, I have the wo2 blackout package, which makes this chrome mirror option so weird :confused: Could this possibly be the rarest option for the tr??
I have this also with manual locks/windows and the only option is astro roof
 
TexasT the last pic you posted with the Tan interior is the Red limited with power antenna & radio delete originally.
Wife's 86 wh-1 had the same interior as well. It now has a 87 GN interior black & gray on black & gray.
