Banning's T-Type WH1: RPO sheet
Last modified: 10/31/01

 

Buick built turbocharged Regals from 1978 to 1987, but the turbocharged and intercooled cars were only available in 1986 and 1987. In 1986 roughly 7,900 turbo cars were built. 2,384 of these cars were T-Types, and 5,512 were Grand Nationals. 1987 was by far the more popular year with roughly 29,000 turbo cars built. 8,547 of these cars were T-Types, 20,194 were Grand Nationals, and 547 were GNX's.

My car is one of those 2,384 T-Types built in 1986, but there is something else that makes my car a little more unusual. My car is 1 of only 463 T-Types that were ordered with the WH1 option package, otherwise known as the "Designer Series." The WH1 option was a paint and body package that consisted of black and gray two tone paint and a rear spoiler such as the one that came with the Grand National. This is the only Regal other than the Grand National that was available with the rear spoiler.

Listed below are some of the RPO #'s and options that came with my 1986 T-Type. The RPO list on the car itself is pretty long, so I only listed the options I thought were of most interest.
