1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo Description

House of Horsepower is family owned, classic and specialty car dealer located in SE Wisconsin. We pride ourselves on the customer service we provide and the honest and straightforward way we do business. We don't want to just sell you a car, we strive to create a relationship that will keep you coming back for your future car needs as well. We keep our overhead low so we can price our cars competitively and save you money.

We are proud to present this gorgeous 1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo WH-1 Designer Series. This car is a rare find indeed, only 463 of them were made and the fact that it is a mostly original survivor makes it that much more desirable. This car is powered by the LC2 3.8 SFI V6 Turbo Grand National engine backed by a 200R4, 4-speed automatic transmission. There is extensive documentation included that goes back to the original order form as well as the window sticker, maintenance records, owner's manuals, dealer stock key tag, original GM keys, lock knock-outs and warranty info from new car delivery. There is also a letter from Buick Motor Division circa 1991 validating the production numbers. There is 87,3xx original miles on the car, but shows nicer than many with less than half of the mileage. Always meticulously maintained with documents to prove, it is ready to be driven anywhere.

This survivor quality car is mostly original, with just some general modifications made for reliability and maintenance. It starts right up after sitting for extended periods and does not leak a drop of oil (the rear main seal has been replaced). The only mechanical changes are a Walbro fuel pump, 30# fuel injectors, Accufab adjustable fuel regulator, and a Kenne Bell chip. The original engine, transmission, rear end, turbo, intercooler and non-adjustable wastegate actuator are all still in place. Many of the under hood hoses are still showing date codes from 1986, and it still has the original date coded 1986 Turbo V6 coil pack and ignition module intact!

The body has mostly original paint that shows well. The roof was repainted recently back to show quality. It was done right, stripped to bare metal, and the clear coat has been color sanded and polished out. The metallic gray portions are in good shape, but to be perfect, the side panels would need refinishing at some point. There is absolutely no rust or rot on this car, just surface scale on the undercarriage you would expect with a car of this age. Dennis Kirban rear seat X-braces in the trunk were added to keep the body flex to a minimum under normal driving conditions. The spare tire and trunk-mounted jack have never been used.

The interior is the nicest part of this car. It is absolutely immaculate, and is show-quality original as it is. Nothing has been modified. The headliner was replaced last year due to typical sagging. All of the power options in the car work as they should, and there aren't any significant blemishes to mention.

As with a car of this age and originality, there are a few minor items that could be addressed. The Idle Air Control (IAC) motor needs a reset (cold idle is rough until it warms up but is then very smooth). The Air Conditioning is still the original R12. It could be re-charged or converted if you decide you wanted to use it, the current owner didn’t use it. On the exterior, the power antenna motor is disconnected and remains in the upright position.
All in all, this is an excellent example of a well-cared for and preserved survivor car that will present well at your local, regional or national car show as well as take you comfortably on your next cross country road trip and will do so for years to come.
