1985 Buick Regal T-Type 3.8l Turbo

Description

1985 BUICK REGAL T-TYPE
Beautiful car I picked up from Calgary, Alberta, Canada in Summer of 2016. Picked the car up myself and made the long scenic drive over the border and across the country to Collingswood, NJ. Car has been a gem since day one. Other than that long trip home, I’ve hardly drove the car apart from nice weather weekends. I’ve never owned a turbo Buick prior to this one but I imagine it runs just the same as it did when produced. I believe I’m the third registered owner of this vehicle. I would love to keep this car forever but I’m looking to buy a home and already own another old weekend car (86’ Pontiac) & a truck. That being said, I’m not interested in dumping it for not fair value.
Car is from Canada so odometer is shown in Kilometers. Right now it's showing 74817 (which equates to @46,489 Miles). Title now shows Mileage upon registering car in USA, and is represented as Actual Mileage on title.
The car is all original aside from..- Rebuilt Turbo- Transmission rebuild- Possibly original paint but I’m no expert on that (either way it could use a new paint job). It shows very nice but it is starting to show some surface rust and small bubbling in areas causing to chip away.
Although I’d say the car is in excellent shape it does have some things that need attention..- ^ see above ^ for details about paint job- Leaks oil and needs valve cover replaced- No AC- iffy Horn (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t)- Missing center wheel caps- Cigarette lighter stopped working last year- Gas meter works but I wouldn’t allow it to get too low.- Water gets in to rear passenger side floor (not a problem if car isn’t out in the rain)
I have more photos available and am willing to send requested photos as well. Please contact me with your questions.I encourage anyone interested in buying a vehicle this old to please try come and see /drive it firsthand. I hope to avoid any complications involving other people’s interpretation of condition.
In 1985, Buick built approximately 2,100 turbocharged T-Type Regals and 2,102 Grand Nationals. A color breakdown is not available.
THIS CAR IS ALSO BEING SHOPPED ON OTHER OUTLETS AND IS DUE TO BE UNLISTED UPON ANY SALE.
