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.

A good friend of mine has a white T-Type just like that. What a fun car!!! He can only run it at 1/8th mile tracks, because it requires a rollbar if run at 1/4 mile tracks. And he can drive it to the track, with the A/C blowing and the stereo blaring, getting nearly 30 MPG along the way. What a beast. The T-Type came with the same engine the GN came with, and is essentially a GN without the black paint, although you could get a T-Type in black at the time. Wished I had one, they would make a great daily driver.
