In 1986 Buick added Intercooling to their Turbo Regal Lineup, boosting power levels to 235hp and 330ft lb of torque. Approximatly 5500 Grand Nationals and 2400 T-Types were made this year Additionally, in 1986, Buick released the only other carline to carry the Grand National emblem, the LeSabre Grand National, powered by a 3.8 SFI Non-turbo engine driving the front wheels. At 112 models made, this is the rarest of the cars wearing the Grand National emblem. Powered by a 3.8 Liter engine with a roller valvetrain, aluminum 15' wheels, FE1 suspension, front spoiler, dual exhaust, bench front seat, no gauges, and not even a LeSabre badge other than on the dash.
This one of a kind T-Type has only 20,800 miles and still has the original factory plastic carpet covering.
Everything works and the car looks runs and drives like it just rolled off the showroom floor. The finish shines brilliantly throughout and looks sensational. The interior is free from any wear and looks new. The entire drivetrain on the car is extremely tight. The brakes, steering, and suspension are all in tip top shape.

I had no idea GM made these.

The fishiest thing about all of that is they say that it is a Fwd, but the car looks just like a Regal. I highly doubt that it is Fwd, and why don't they have a picture of the engine?

A friend of mine had a newer ~1990 T-type Regal that was Fwd, but it was the newer, smaller body style. It was NA, but had ground effects and maybe sway bars and a few other tid-bits.
