If you clicked this ad, you most likely already know these T-Types or Turbo Ts are the same car as a Grand National, but lighter, rarer, and available with more options. You also know that 86-87 are the only years you should really be looking at because of changes in the design such as the intercooler. This is a very lightly modified example compared to many I have owned. Off the top of my head, the upgrades are as follows:

  • 42lb/hr injectors
  • Turbo Tweak chip
  • RJC boost fitting
  • Tin Man air intake
  • Billet aluminum fuel pressure regulator
  • What I believe to be a Hooker cat-back dual exhaust
  • Scanmaster 2.1
  • Alarm/security system with remote locks and remote start
  • GN1 Performance aluminum radiator

I also have extra parts to be included with the sale including:

  • Spare stock downpipe and cat
  • Upgraded fuel pump
  • Fuel pump hotwire kit
  • Spare billet FPR
  • Factory air intake
  • etcetera

This T-Type starts right up and runs great. It pulls very strong for a stock turbo car. I have never taken it down the track, but feel confident enough to say it is a mid-12 second car in the quarter comparing it to my other T-Type I have raced. There is no rust that I can find anywhere in the car and all electric options work. The paint is original as are the bumper fillers. The car originally came with a Parchment White vinyl roof that was removed because there was a split in it. I have all the trim if you'd like to replace the vinyl top. The paint is not perfect. There are scrapes and scratches. Most notably, there is a dent in the middle-rear of the roof (the reason the vinyl top split most likely) and there is a dent in the driver rear quarter from something inside the trunk hitting it. It looks pretty good even without the vinyl top though. This is also an original chrome trim car. The grille was plastidipped black by the previous owner. That is easy to remove if you don't like it or you can finish off the look and do the rest of the trim which I think would look pretty awesome. The interior has no rips or tears, but the pull straps need one or two of those escutcheon plates that always seems to fall off and the driver power lock button is not mounted to the door panel as it should be. I think it just needs to be clipped back in, but I haven't popped off the bottom of the door panel to do so. The headliner has already been redone and looks great. The car also has practically new tires on the original aluminum T-Type wheels. The powermaster unit has also already been replaced, so no worries there. There are no check engine or other idiot lights on the dash and the oil pressure is great.

Bottom line is this is a very solid, original 87 Buick T-Type that would be an awesome driver or platform to build for your new project. Many pictures below. Please allow time for the slideshow to load.

GM to idle car production at five factories as Americans continue CUV love affair

Mon, Dec 19 2016

In case you needed another reminder that Americans have fallen out of love with sedans, General Motors today announced plans to idle five factories in January in a bid to cut its inventory to 70 days. Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly ( Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Volt and Impala) and Fairfax Assembly in Kansas ( Chevy Malibu) will stop production for three weeks. Lansing Grand River ( Cadillac ATS and CTS, and Chevy Camaro) is going down for two weeks, while Lordstown, OH ( Chevy Cruze) and Bowling Green, KY ( Chevy Corvette) will go idle for a week each, Automotive News reports. GM's shutdown reflects a broader problem with the company's supply – at 847,000 vehicles, the company's supply increased unsteadily from a low of 629,000 units in January of 2016. That's more than a 25 percent increase in the past year. Citing information from Autodata, The Detroit News reports that at the end of November, GM had a 168-day supply of LaCrosses, 177 days' worth of Camaro, 170 days of Corvette, 121 days for Cruze, 119 days for ATS, 132 days for CTS, and 110 days of CT6. Meanwhile, inventory of the company's more popular vehicles is actually below the professionally accepted 60- to 70-day supply, The News reports. The Trax, Colorado pickup, and GM's full-size SUVs are sitting below 50 days and experiencing year-over-year sales increases. GM needs a rethink of its inventory levels, which is something that's apparently coming. "We're going to be responsible in managing our inventory levels," GM spokesman Jim Cain told The News. Another unnamed spokesman told Automotive News the company's day-to-day supplies would "fluctuate before moderating at year-end." But at least one analyst thinks this won't be the last time Detroit needs to stop production to level things out. "Incentives are elevated, residuals are declining, and rates are rising," Brian Johnson, an analyst with Barclays, told The News. "And while GM in particular may benefit in the months ahead from new product launches, it's important to recognize that GM's inventory is elevated at the moment, and it wouldn't surprise us if they need to announce another production cut – which could pressure the stock."

Reuss says Cadillac CT6-based Buick could happen

Wed, Apr 15 2015

Could the upcoming Cadillac CT6 and its Omega platform spawn a Buick variant? According to General Motors' product chief Mark Reuss, it could potentially be in the cards, but "not yet." "We're working on that," Reuss told Automotive News at the 2015 New York Auto Show. While there hasn't been a large, rear-drive Buick on dealerships since the Roadmaster in 1996, the company gave a big hint that it could head in that direction with the Avenir Concept, shown earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show. As Automotive News explains, a rear-drive Omega-platform Buick could be a real hit in China, where consumers buy 13 Buicks for every one Cadillac. That move would be a big help to GM's bottom line, too, as it'd significantly increase the Omega platform's economy of scale. If a large Buick based on the CT6 were to head to China, though, it likely wouldn't be a simple case of badge engineering (thank God). Reuss hinted to Automotive News that while the mixed-material construction of the CT6 platform "is very flexible," doing an "identical version of that platform or not is a different conversation." What are your thoughts? Should Buick adopt the Omega platform for an Avenir-based sedan? Should that vehicle be sold here in the US, or should it be a China-only offering? Have your say in Comments.

Restyled 2014 Buick Regal adds AWD, Regal GS loses power

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Although the current Buick Regal hasn't even been on the market for very long, General Motors is using the New York Auto Show to unveil an updated version of the sedan in a similar fashion to what we saw yesterday with the 2014 LaCrosse. Like the LaCrosse, all 2014 Regal models will be getting a new look both for the exterior and interior design, but the big news takes place under the sedan's skin.
Except for the base Regal eAssist, the Regal Turbo and Regal GS will both be adding the benefit of all-wheel drive, but there is no word as to how much weight this system will add to each car's curb weight. The Regal Turbo's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder has received a decent bump in output from 220 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque to 259 hp and 295 lb-ft; unfortunately, these same figures are carried over to the Regal GS, which means that car drops from 270 hp. Both turbocharged models (Regal Turbo and Regal GS) will now be offered with all-wheel drive and the ability of sending more than 90 percent of the engine's torque to the rear wheels.
In terms of styling, the 2014 Regal gets similar styling changes found on the updated Enclave and LaCrosse, including reworked fascias, scalloped headlights and a full-width chrome strip spanning between the new LED taillights. Inside, key changes were made to the Regal's cabin technology, such as the instrument gauge cluster and infotainment system. On the Regal and Regal Turbo, a new 4.2-inch color display is available for drivers to see information for the vehicle, navigation and audio systems, but the Regal GS' cabin is slightly different with an eight-inch configurable gauge display. One of the best changes may be the overall reduction in buttons on the center stack, creating a cleaner-looking and easier-to-use cabin.
