Please note that experience shows us that the photobucket of over 100 large pixel pictures posted here are in most cases best viewed and downloaded using the very latest and most updated version of the 'Firefox' browser as some other browsers and especially older browser versions are not capable of accommodating the size of the download. Over the years our clients have overwhelmingly been appreciative of our many unaltered large pixel photos posted in our ads and our feedback has been that it is very rare that a dealer will post all but the most flattering of professionally finished photographs. We prefer to post the many photos taken of the car. in sometimes unflattering but natural sunlight. in order for our prospective buyers to be able to see true and reliable images of the car advertised and that is the reason for some seemingly duplicated shots. We trust you will agree. West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional example of this 1986 Buick Regal T-Type 3. 8L V6 Turbo coupe with only 26K original miles and finished in its seemingly all original beautiful 'Rosewood Metallic' color paint with a matching 'Light Burgundy' cloth interior with automatic transmission. bucket seats. center console. power steering. power windows. power brakes. power seats. cruise control and air conditioning! In 1986. the Buick Regal and its virtually identical cousin the Regal Grand National. wasn't selling in big numbers (only 2. 84 T-Types built in 1986) but it was destined from the start to become a collectible classic car as it was attracting enthusiasts into Buick showrooms with its dramatic looks and turbo-charged 3. 8L V6 engines with sequential fuel injection rated at 235 bhp. Its virtually identical cousin. a T-Type with the Grand National package. boasted a 'Darth Vader' look in monotone black only and retailed for an extra $675 and included the same turbo-charged engine. quick ratio power steering. an instrumentation group. sports mirrors with left-hand remote control. a four-speed automatic transmission. air conditioning and P215/65R15 black sidewall tires! These Turbo Buick's became one of the top muscle cars of the 1980's. as demonstrated by the top-of-the-line renown and now legendary 1987 Grand National GNX of which only 547 were built. A bigger turbo-charger and inter-cooler along with other enhancements gave this hot rod some 276 bhp and "Car & Driver's" test showed 0-60mph in 4. 7 seconds. which amongst factory 1987 cars meant that only Porsche' 911 Turbo could match the GNX's acceleration!In 1981. a major facelift to the second generation Regal gave it a more enhanced aerodynamic look and the car started competing on the NASCAR racing circuit where it fast became one of the favorites of several NASCAR racing teams. It won the Daytona 500 in the same year and a majority of the 1981/2 seasons races and the NASACR manufacturers title in those same years. With its firm handling suspension. larger tires and sports wheels the car was an instant classic and marked the end of an era as the last of Buick's legendary muscle cars. 1984 was the first year of the Sequential Fuel Injection engine and Distributor-less ignition and considered by enthusiasts as the ultimate development of these legendary intercooled Regal's and Grand National's. The performance of these engines was well ahead of their time and the "small six"could easily match virtually any V8! Quarter mile performance was listed at 15. 9 seconds compared to 15. 1 for the Corvette! In 1986 a modified engine design boosted the performance even further and by 1987 it had reached 245HP before sadly Buick dropped the T-Type package for the Regal and the Grand National in 1987. This particular example is a rare and all original unabused example of a non-smoking owner's car and it will be sold with a host of original extras including its original owners manuals. warranty manuals. original sales invoice etc. The car was purchased new at 'M. C. Clellan Buick' of La Mesa. California in 3/1986 and has obviously always been garaged in first California and then in most recent years in Arizona and it has no signs or indication of any accidents or damage. The car has a clean CARFAX report and the mileage is reported a being original with no indication otherwise. The original and rare factory 'Rosewood Metallic' color paint is in exceptional condition throughout as is the original interior and the car drives exactly like such a well maintained and an extremely low mileage car should and must be seen and driven to be fully appreciated! The engine is extremely strong with spectacular acceleration and shows no oil leaks. the automatic transmission is very smooth shifting and the temperature always remains cool. The car is all stock except for a performance chip. cat-back exhaust and a window tint. please note that it also has four new 'Pirelli' tires. You will surely look long and hard to find a finer and extremely rare unabused example of this exceptionally clean and increasingly collectible and desirable last of Flint's coveted final factory hot rods. a 1986 Buick Regal T-Type 3. 8L S.
