Hello all, It has been awhile since my last post, and unfortunately it has to be in the for sale section, as a new business venture forces the sale of my 1987 Regal Turbo T, I thought that this would be the best place to start.



1987 Buick Regal Turbo T
Ex- Conneticut DEA/pursuit car,
This car was never titled until I purchased it in 2001, so technicaly I am the first owner.

Gauges,
Autometer ultra lite:

All mounted in a custom one of gauge pod
fuel pressure (mounted on a pilar)

Wheels,
Bogart Racing wheels Drag Star, 15x4 front
Bogart Racing Wheels, Drag Star 15x9.75 rear
Hoosier quick time D.O.T. pro 27x11.5

the car also features a 6pt cage, that is painted to match the interior, a 6pt Simpson harness and is barely noticable from the side of the vehicle. The interior is complete, including the back seat. There are no rips or tears in the seats, but there is a very very small burn in the bottom of the rear.

The paint is very good, has no nicks and scratches, I may have put 1000miles on it since I put it together. Which was a complete build from the ground up.

This car will go effortless 11.0 @125 with only 16# of boost, It can easily handle a bit more and would be an absolute rocket with the boost in the mid to upper 20's
There was no cttuing on the car anywhere (like the gauges and accessories)with the exception of the roll bar to frame, those were simple discreet cuts to properly mount the roll bar to the frame.


It is priced to move and for sale at a portion of the build cost.

The first $18500 takes the car, and this price is firm.

Please feel free to get in touch with me at the following numbers

Daytime (work): 814 774 4966
Evenings (home): 814 474 2339
Anytime (cell): 814 392 8693

I will post some pics or links tonight and take fresh ones in the next day or so.


My T for sale

Thanks,
Mike Bowen
 
I wanted to add to the list,

ATR stainless headers
New GM Bumper pads
 
What a NICE car!! If I had the money it would be in my driveway. VERY well done. I wish you luck on the sale.

I also wanted to add that it does have the correct "police" chip in the speedo.
 
Here is a link to more photos, and some short vids of the car running.
You will notice that it has a simple short turn down 3in Stainless exhaust, The car can be had with that or new Hooker catback.
I keep forgetting some of the list of parts.
It also has HR parts urethane trans and motor mounts, as well as a driveshaft loop.

 
How about coming and taken a look at it, you may want to offer me $21000.

Seriously if you are interested come up and check it out. I will entertain any reasonably offer, but unfortunatly 14000 isn't.
 
Very nice car! Great price for it too. I got a quick question on the gauge pod over the radio-is that a custom piece? I've never seen one like that.

your car is beautiful and i meant no disrespect--just giving it a try--i would offer you 21000 if i had it
 
No offense taken..

That is a gauge pod that I built from fiberglass. It is a one of a kind piece.
 
nice car. I wish I had myine sold and the money. Want to trade for an 86 GT that runs almost the same?
