1986 Buick Regal T-Type GNX Clone
1986 Buick Regal T-Type GNX Clone
Superb car. This car started life as a 1986 T-type.
The car was purchased from the original owner in 1996 in San Bernadino, California.
It is a straight car with no history of damage, and continues so to this day. Lots of work done to the car has resulted in an excellent interior, the ride quality, as well as the powerplant/drivetrain. Most recently, the interior received a drastic re-vamp. Rear bench seats were done in Grand National trim, while the front seats were replaced with 8 way Porsche Carrera electric leather seats which have been dyed to match the rear seats quite well. Also a full power ASC sunroof was added.
Suspension work :
Bilstein shocks
oversized sway bars
non-squeaking polyurethane bushings
This combination gets the job done.
The drivetrain:
There are Kenne Bell upgrades, including a transmission upgrade, a larger down pipe, larger injectors, and an adjustable fuel regulator. There is also an impressive aftermarket turbocharger.
For proper cooling, the car has a Griffin full aluminum radiator with dual mounted electric fans, and a Kenne Bell "Big Boy" front mount intercooler.
A scan master ECU and a Knock sensor gauge mounted on the pillar.
This car can easily be made to be much quicker. Right now it runs at about 450 horsepower.
Once again, this car is quite unique. It is comfortable regarding both the interior and the ride quality, it is fast as any street-legal muscle car (while still very reliable), and it has the undeniable charm of a Grand National GNX.
Other interior accompaniments include:
The dash has properly functioning VDO gauges taken from a true GNX.
a new carpet and headliner were installed only a couple months ago. This car's only shortcoming is some cracked plastic on the center console.
A Phillips CD player with a built in Rockford Fosgate sub and speakers, and a built in JBL Audio Amp. All powered by a larger alternator.
