For sale is my 1987 Buick Regal Turbo Limited - one of 1035 produced.  I've owned this car for six years driving it little more than eight hundred miles during my time as care taker.  I fell in love with the turbo whine after a visit to Bowling Green in 1999 and vowed I'd have "one of those" one day.  I couldn't have been happier with what I purchased being a Limited versus the GN.  Just a personal preference, in my 40's an armrest beats a bucket seat every day and twice on Sundays!

While I've had the car there were only two things that needed addressing: I had the headliner replaced by a fantastic classic car upholstery shop that I use regularly.  The braking system was upgraded from the original Power Master system.  All the components of the original system are included with the car.  I also put new tires on the car as the BFG Comp TA's the car had were dry rotted.

I have accumulated a number of NOS items that go with the sale of the car: 4 - NOS 3.8 Turbo emblems, NOS door to window fuzzies, BUICK grille emblem and a number of other items.  Also included is a GN dash cluster if you choose to convert the car to gauges from it's too late lights :)  There have been no chips added to the car to my knowledge - it is as I received it quite original and unmolested.

Interior:  60/40 split power bench seat with a fold down arm rest.  Buckets look cool and are for about 10 minutes but let's face it nothing beats a little Detroit lean to the right.  The interior is in overall GREAT condition there is minimal sun fading on the tops of the door panels and in the package tray area.  The carpet is original, thick and lush - it is in great condition.  Original floor mats in good condition, seats in very good condition sans the notation for a couple cigarette burns.  On the front passenger side above the glove box the Buick Limited panel lights up well at night - a very sweet touch from our friends at Buick.

Exterior:  The car was repainted at some point in it's life.  The paint work is presentable but it is more of a 15 footer.  There is a repaired crack in the header and a small indentation on the corner of the hood - at the time of a repaint it could easily be repaired.  The fenders, quarters and trunk are great.  The doors have some ripples in them from door dings or something (I cannot say - it came that way).  Also the car came with body side moldings attached to it.  I removed them during a buffing out of the paint and regret that decision.  The glue that was used to put them on was clearly developed by NASA for some wicked application.  I've tried everything I can think of to remove the glue (looks white on the car) and figured either I would put body moldings back on or would eventually have the doors smoothed out and the car resprayed.  Every time I do a restore though it's overkill and then I park the car.  I wanted a great turn key Buick and this car is exactly that.  I have most all the glove box documentation and I have the title from the previous owner showing the low miles on the car as well.  This car is in great overall condition a few years ago a friend of mine put it up on a lift and the bottom of the car is solid and there is no visible rust on the car..It was rustproofed when new and has sat in a climate controlled garage on carpeting most of its life.  It's not pristine but could be with paint and polishing.  Bumpers are solid and both straight.  There are tiny little surface rust dots on the bumper top I will take some chrome cleaner to it and they should clean up fine but not show chrome. 

Being as original as it is if the car is quickly turned into a daily driver or long distance cruiser I would personally recommend going thru belts, hoses, indicators etc.  Most if not all of these items are 26 year old originals.  Even the coil pack is original and has the original date coded sticker on it.  Also, blower works but a/c does not blow cold I prefer open windows whenever I would take it out anyway so not working fully wasn't a concern to me.  Lights, horn etc all work.
