I thought I read in Kirban's Guide to 1986-1987 Turbo Regals about the available options on Limiteds. If memory serves I believe Kirban dedicated a whole chapter to the Turbo Regal Limited.

I know the cornering lamps was an option and have seen many photos of Limiteds with them. I haven't seen one photo of a Limited with opera lamps though.

Here's a pic I found on an ebay auction I was following. It has ALL the goodies!

Wow, that's one cool looking car. Wish the photo was larger and/or more detailed.

I'd sure like to get a look at the option tag in the trunk.

 

[Quick6'n'-K.C.]

Awesome, glad you posted on both threads chuck!

how long ago was that car on ebay, it sure does look good with that dark grey paint.

i KNEW i had seen one, Kirban dont know squat

Obviously that photo shows what looks like opera lamps on a Turbo Limited. That said it's just a photo and the car can't be inspected or authenticated.

IF these cars are around I'll have my heart set on one with factory leather interior, opera lamps, cornering lamps and the full chrome package!

Here's the link to the auction:

Someone got a killer deal on a sweet car.

I like the obscure and uniquely optioned Turbo T's and have been following them for a long time. The 2-tone Designers' Series paint schemes are my favorite.

<<IF these cars are around I'll have my heart set on one with factory leather interior, opera lamps, cornering lamps and the full chrome package!>>

That's a pretty tough request no matter what color you're looking for. To find a car with all those things together would be a rare gem indeed! They are out there!!!!!!!!!!!

Some may not care for this color but to each their own:

Love that creme colored Regal!!! I always go for the ones that are different.

 

[1 RARE T]

On Canadian cars the option code for opera lamps is

C93 Lamp Opera - Exterior

T87 Lamp Cornering

C04 Vinyl Padded Roof Rear Half (Landau)



My Grandpa cruiser has all that stuff.

Post a close-up pic of that bad boy!

Upon further investigation, you could get the coach lamps on both Landau roof styles but not t-tops.

 

[Quick6'n'-K.C.]

just found another limited with a vynal roof and lights

Nice find Bryan! They're coming out of the woodwork now.

Those pics don't do that color any justice.

 

[TurboJunky]

I'm actively in the market for a 1987 T Limited with low miles, coach lamps....loaded.

If anyone knows of one for sale send'em my way!

 

[Quick6'n'-K.C.]

I've looked high and low and found this one. It has 8,600 original miles and a *few* modest underhood mods. It'll come with the original wheels which I prefer. I'll put the emblems back in their exact spots cuz I'm anal like that. Nothing like a super-sleeper that does low 12's without batting an eye.

 

[Quick6'n'-K.C.]

i remember that car when it was for sale at the nationals a few years back-
does twobryans still have that charcoal limited for sale? thats a nice low mileage car that i wouldnt mind having-
