Default Heavily modded 87 Buick Turbo Regal

Listing this for my dad.

1987 Buick T Limited (Formerly Lawrence Conley's "ZR-WHAT")
Needs some TLC.
Car is very dark green...almost black.

The Good:
Ported(to the max)/Polished Iron heads w/ big valves
Port matched intake
Ported TB
Conley sold cam (.276/.276 total duration)
TE-60 turbo (little use)
CAI
3" Downpipe
3" dual exit custom exhaust
Deltagate Wastegate mounted on crossover pipe
Magnecore plug wires
Art Carr 9" converter
Built Trans with shift kit
Southside Machine rear traction bars/LCAs
4-wheel Disc brake conversion
Thumbwheel chip
Racetronix fuel pump setup (ready to be installed)
Adj fuel press. regulator
Injectors - believed to be 42#'s

The bad:
A few rust spots above the doors, on the trunk lid, and at the lower doors.
Needs the fuel pump and tank installed.
May need a coilpack
Paint is rough.
There is a tear in the passenger side front seat. Both front seats are a little worn from the heat.
Tires will probably need to be replaced.
Front bumper fillers are cracking.
Reconditioned title...theft recovery

This car has everything to be a very fast street car. It just needs some TLC, and probably more injector to go real fast.

$5800 is the asking price.
We feel we could part the car out and get this money, but we would rather sell the car complete. We do not want to part the car out. We want "ZR-WHAT" to stay intact.

Links to picks.






Contact JCates7@houston.rr.com or rcates1@houston.rr.com if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Ross

Yes John. You are correct. Same car, bigger turbo...and with todays technologies, it is capable of a lot more than it was back then.

It needs a few minor things to get back to running condition. It needs more injector to be raced, but with a good tune it should easily run some very low 11's. I don't know what that equates to in the 1/8th.

i would say this car would run a 7.10-7.30 in the 1/8th which is a low 11 second 1/4..

I dont think the tears in the passenger seat are from the heat. I think they were from me damn near shitting myself when we used to cruise around in it. It was definitely a badass in its day and shouldnt take to much to get it back to that status. Like Ross said, it only needs some TLC. Bump for a Buick!

It won't start right now (brand new fuel pump and tank are out of the car).
When running and no other changes, I wouldn't push it much further than high 11's. After that, you are probably out of injector.

Just to give you an idea. Your typical heads/cam/intake/turbo/converter Turbo Buick will run deep into the 11's (sometimes even some high 10's)with the right tuning and enough fuel.

My last buick went 11.60's at 113.8mph. It still had the bone stock original motor in it. T63e turbo, 3" DP, 9x11 3400 stall converter, 60# injectors, fuel pump, slicks...26# of boost.
