It also costs money to list, so lets try to do this right. Now on to the car... Up for auction is a 1987 Buick Turbo T. For those that know what these cars are, there is no need to explain, for those that dont....well it is a grand national in a different color with a different interior. This particular car is dark red metalic with a burgundy interior. It was also a special order car. It was ordered with no power options. It does have A/C and it blows ice cold. Never converted and still on R12. It also has T Tops that to my surprise do not rattle. They are in great condition and come with original storage bags. I have the original window sticker so can provide detailed info on how this car was built. As stated in the title...38K original miles and it shows. Original GM floor mats are still in the car, and the interior is beautiful. Seats show no wear. Dash is perfect and everything works. The only flaws inside the car are the headliner and sun visors. The fabric on them is sagging. Everything else is in perfect condition. No wear, and no sun fade on the materials. Also no cracks of any kind on the dash. Mechanically the car is 100% and needs nothing. And when I say that, I mean it! It runs, drives and does everything as new. Starts with no issues, idles perfetly smooth and drives just as good. There are no noises, no smoke and nothing out of the ordinary. Rear main drips a little but I have never seen a turbo buick that did not do this. Oil has always been changed with ZDDPlus additive. No stalling, no surging, no cutting out....power comes on very strong all the way to redline with no issues. Transmission is one of the best I have had in a turbo buick. Those that know these cars know they are cursed with 2-3 flares and other issues even with low miles. Not an issue with this car. All gears are positive, tight, and no flare what so ever. No matter if you are at full throttle or part throttle. Transmission feels great and does not leak. The car is very close to factory stock, but does have a few small customizations. I will list them below. They make the car much better to drive. And I think you would be surprised how quick it is at factory boost levels. Modifications.. - 3" downpipe - Full 2.5" exhaust with test pipe (no cat) Dynomax mufflers - Hotwired fuel pump - Rear seat brace - Front cross brace - Moog 5658 front Springs, 5413 rear springs - KYB shocks on all 4 corners - New front brakes, calipers included. The braces make a huge improvement in the ride, and the new springs, shocks really give this car a great ride. It not only handles very well, it feels fantastic. As mentioned earlier, being lighter has its advantages. This car is fast. I have owned a few turbo buicks, and for being very close to stock...it moves. Now to the exterior....Paint is dark red metallic, and yes the car has been painted. The paint is however gorgeous. Not a cheap job. Was painted with PPG base/clear and blocked until smooth. Really a very nice paint job. you will notice that it now has a GN spoiler...that was added when the car was painted. The wheels are original and are PERFECT. When was the last time you saw turbo T wheels with no flaws at all?? These are beautiful. No rash, no pits, not a single defect. Same goes for the original center caps. The rear wheels are BFG radials (245-60-15) that are almost new. Fronts are General (235-60-15) and have a bit more wear. This is a turn-key and drive cross country type of car. With cold air to boot. Everything is as it should be with no surprises. No warning lights in the dash, no issues with the power master...nothing!!! This car was undercoated at the factory, so you will find no rust. All lights and indicators work, radio sounds great, seats are not worn and feel excellent. I can go on and on. I am not a dealer, this is my personal car. It is being sold because I picked up another and need the room. I am not new to turbo buicks and can tell you that this one is one of the best I have had. Please view all the pictures both on the auction as well as the link provided as there are MANY. Also take a look at the video. Feel free to ask questions, I will reply as soon as I can. And once again...ONLY BID IF YOU INTEND TO BUY......NO RESERVE!!
