I thought the Buick Regal T-Type was only available in white and the Grand Nationals were only available in Black. Looks like you have a Grand National. BTW cool car

turbo regals were available in any color all the way back to '76 I believe. always with the 3.8 liter. The grand national was black and (MAYBE white) only available since like 1979 or 1980. If GN's were in white they are exceptionally rare. The GNX (1987 only I believe) was black only with the garret turbo and super sweet intercooler and rear suspension that made it the fastest/quickest GM until the 1998 ('97?)LS1 'vette.

Oh yea, forgot to add: Awesome looking car. DO WANT!!!! those V6;s will take anything, and return massive power and a flatulent exhaust note that makes you want to die.

a Grand national is essentially a regal T- Type with a WE2 package...you can think of it as a T-type with an extra option ( a rare one). I have been chasing these for a while and my dad had one so I know allot

Edit; ooh and T-types came even in dark red.

Thanks for the kind words guys...I thought I did not want a turbo car for a change...but there is no escaping it I guess

My next car (or truck) is definately a Syclone by the way...I LOVE these...GM did put out the nicest turbo cars in the past.
