1986 WH1 T-type, low option factory light weight. 74,XXX original miles, but you would think it has half that looking at it.
It's the nicest turbo buick I've ever owned and I've been told by folks on many occasions it's the nicest they've ever seen. It is very nice inside and out. The car speaks for itself and anyone who takes the time to come look at it will not be disappointed. I won 1st place show with it at the 2006 Norwalk show in the modified class. The new engine and some modifications have happened since then but it is otherwise unchanged. Since then I haven’t taken the car to many events.
As anyone who has been around these cars long enough knows there is a lot invested in this car. I have well over 30K. The economy sucks and sale are slow, but the price is far less than what it take to duplicate. Save yourself time and money.
I have more/better photos of the car that can be emailed.
I'm looking for $18,000 cash or a trade/cash deal. In trade I'm looking for a mid-nineties or newer tahoe, yukon, suburban, explorer, expedition, etc. Must be 4X4 and have a V8, no junk. Seven passenger is a plus. Ideally looking for trade plus at least $10K
