‘87 Buick Turbo-T
THIS is the ad the previous owner had. He did the tranny an paint an i did the motor an more!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am the 3rd owner of this car and have owned for 6 years. It currently has 88,000 miles. White with WO-2 black out package. Factory lightweight car (3300 lbs) with only cruise, power trunk, and rear defrost. I installed power door looks when I had a Viper alarm installed. Rare bench seat with column shifter and grey interior is in excellent condition along with the stock steering wheel. The car was completely stripped down to bare metal and repainted about a year ago. During this process the interior, doors, hood, decklid, and glass were removed.

Before being painted, I went through the drivetrain and completely upgraded or replaced worn components. The engine had only 80K miles and ran great so I didn’t rebuild it but I did replace the valve springs with LT-1 Springs and did a leak down test. The tranny was showing signs of flaring and I purchased a PMAC tranny with hardened parts along with a Bruce Toelle 3200 9/11 converter. I also installed HR parts upper and lower control arms, Moser axles, ATR sway bar, U-joints, airbag.

Car placed 1st and 2nd place in the only two car shows it was in. Car is the perfect street car with the John Craig TE-61 and 3200 9/11 converter. Its easy to drive and won’t over heat

Car has run a time of 12.3 @115 mph on Nittos and only 19 psi. Should run easy mid 11's with more boost
Since this I have put about 8-10 grand in the car still haven't added up all the receipts an not sure if I want too..
 
I wont take any claim on the last 2 pieces of exhaust you got there, that wasnt how I had it laid out...lol. The car is slick and runs strong. Traction seems to be a big issue with DR's....and thats leaving at any boost and even no boost. We got some slicks for it, he just needs another fuel pump, bigger return line and some C-16.
 
what size wheels are on there i plan on getting convo pros but dont know what backspacing work on these cars

Hum

I have owned one or two GN's but after this car my slogan is "If it ain't white it ain't right".. But seriously a slick GN with dark tint is hard to beat next to a slick white car that is..
 
Gorgeous car man. I would really like to have a white with blackout T to sit next to my GN some day. Awesome job on everything
 
I may be able to help you out on the fuel pumps give me a call I'm down in Helena 2052962391.Thanks Rusty

Well I sent the pics to petesgn an we will see if he can post them.. I am very proud of this car.. It is beyond show quality. Shame is it just sits in garage with cover on it. There is nothing else I can do to it performance wise except maybe put alky on it. I know it would look good with some 19" blk Simmons but that 4 grand I don't have to spend on wheels right now.. Going to be buying a house soon so theres a slight chance car will be up for sale.. :( :( :( :( :( :(
that car looks very very nice...what color is the inside?any pics?if you do sell....how much?i have a gn,but the wife needs a tr,so i say...she likes her suburban,but to much money for gas...you need one? :) if you decide to sell please post interior pics..thanks..
 
Looks very nice. Clear front turn signals and sport mirrors driver/passenger side...OOOLLAHHHHHH. :wink:
 
Yes I agree!!!

But where can I find clear turn signals. I have always tried to find them but either the guy wants a arm an a leg for them of they are not high quality whenm I do!!! As far as the mirrors go I think you don't see many white T's with theses so I may leav them alone.. ;)

I got mine through "Red Regal T" on this site. They were damn near perfect as you can see in my photo (click the T emblem in my sig). If Red doesn't have any more I'm sure he can point you in the right direction. His price was very fair too!
 
OK thanks!!

I am sure they will look very well against the white bumpers!! @ first I thought it may look too ricey but the orange ones kinda stick out there so the clear will kinda make the front more smooth..
