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

Buick GN and GNX will return
GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars
Wed, 23 Jul 2014General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.

NHTSA may greatly expand GM airbag recall
Wed, 05 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is pondering whether to dramatically upscale a pair of airbag recalls on General Motors vehicles. The two existing campaigns, one launched in the fall of 2012 and the other in January of this year covered just 6,845 vehicles, but the government agency is considering whether to boost the recall to around 400,000 units.
The existing recalls involve the the closely related 2012 Buick Verano (shown) and Chevrolet Cruze sedans, along with Sonic and Camaro models. The root of the problem is a shorting bar in the inflator module of the steering-wheel-mounted airbag that may contact the primary state airbag terminal, a condition that could prevent deployment in an accident. Dealer technicians have been replacing the steering wheel airbag coils to fix the issue.
According to a post on NHTSA's website, the root cause, said to be a production issue, may not have been completely isolated - particularly for the second recall, which was for the Camaro. According to Automotive News, GM says it is cooperating with the government investigation, but won't say whether or not it knows the true origin of the problem.
