The Buick Regal T-Type: A Subtle '80s Coupe That Packed Grand National Muscle

Some cars are all about surprise. 8-liter V6, the same engine that powered the legendary Grand National. That V6 churned out 235 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque in standard T-Types, and 245 hp and 355 lb-ft in the 1987 Turbo-T variant. 0-liter engines.

9 seconds at 87 mph. It wasn't just about speed, the T-Type was also rarer than its more famous sibling. In 1986, only 2,384 T-Types were built versus 5,512 Grand Nationals.

Now, collectors are taking notice. The average used value for a Regal T-Type sits around $28,581, with prime examples of the 1987 Turbo-T fetching as much as $45,000. Some believe the best T-Types could eventually reach six-figure values.
