If you could order a Turbo Regal today...

[Gary Wells]

FWIW & IMHO:
'87 Turbo-T, exterior & interior Grey, cloth, blackout, no roof treatment, buckets, console, & all other options excluding cornering lights & digital dash.

Had a digital dash on an '86. They suck.

Being that were in 2005 and new technology. I want one with a factory front mount intercooler, factory dual fans, factory external trans cooler, factory dual turbos, factory upgraded transmission, factory upgraded stereo system and factory ported heads and factory mounted cup holders.

Did I miss anything?

Oh yeah, upgraded fuel pump.

Buick wouldn't let you order a black T.

 

[Turbo-Archie]

You could as long as it didn't have black bumpers.

I believe Buick issued a directive to dealers that black was not an option on a turbo Regal unless it was a WE4. It was done to keep black exclusively a "GN" trademark. If I remember correctly, there was a 3 month window where you could in fact order a T in black until Buick halted the practice.

I'll dig out the dealer bulletin on the subject later. I'm looking for my Kirban's Guide to 1986-1987 Turbo Regals right now and I know he discussed this very thing.

I just found the relevant section in Kirban's Guide to 1986-1987 Turbo Regals which states:

Product Information Bulletin "Paint Restriction for Exterior Sport Package (W02)." It's dated two days earlier, November 13, 1986 when they announced you could no longer order a black Regal Turbo-T with the W02 exterior sport package. They did this so it would not be confusing having two Turbo Regals available at the same time in black. The only differeence between the new WE4 version and a black one with the W02 exterior sport package would be the WE4 version would have matching black bumpers. The other one would have had chrome bumpers. Assuming 1987 Turbo Regals production began in August of 1986, that gave you a 90-day span of production for ordering a black Regal Turbo-T with the W02 exterior sport package.

How many did Buick make? No one knows for sure. How many have you seen? Not many, I bet. In all these years I have seen fewer than ten. Keep in mind, the production date on the door jamb would have to be prior to mid-November of 1986 to be an original. So, while others seek the WE4 version for it's rarity, now that you have read this book and have seen the Production Information Bulletin verifying what I have said, the real rare one is a black 1987 Turbo-T with the W02 exterior sport package. We have only owned one of these black Turbo-Ts in the last ten years.

 

[Turbo-Archie]

Right, so you shouldn't say that they wern't made.

Correct. I was wrong and posted the facts as written by Dennis Kirban referencing the Buick bulletin.

 

[Turbo-Archie]

Well you never said they wern't made only that Buick wouldn't make them which is true for the last 9 months of production. Now everybodys happy.

Hey can you tell me how many Tan Leather int were made in '87 ?
