This 1985 Buick Regal T-Type has been extensively upgraded for performance, featuring a custom-built 393ci stroked V8 engine equipped with a P-1SC ProCharger supercharger, competition camshafts, Sniper EFI, Diamond Racing pistons, AFR heads, ARP studs, and Total Seal piston rings. Finished in a custom GNX-inspired black over a black interior, it is equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission, performance disc brakes, rear spoiler, 18” aftermarket wheels, bucket seats, air conditioning, power windows, and more. This tastefully modified Grand National tribute is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Massachusetts.
This example underwent a comprehensive restoration and was refinished in custom GNX-inspired black paint. Exterior features include a sculpted hood, flared fenders, fender vents, bullet-style mirrors, and a rear spoiler. It rides on black-finished 18” aftermarket wheels wrapped in Nitto NT555 G2 tires in the front and Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial tires in the rear. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a CARFAX report noting minor damage in April 2018.
The interior is appointed with front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in black and Sand Gray cloth, with Turo 6 embroidery on the front seat headrests. Amenities include air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, and a Delco AM/FM/cassette stereo. The seller notes the presence of typical wear consistent with use but confirms that all gauges and electronics are in proper working order with no warning lights illuminated.
Power comes from a custom-built 393ci stroked V8 engine featuring a P-1SC ProCharger supercharger, a full roller competition camshaft, Sniper EFI, Diamond Racing pistons, AFR heads, ARP studs, and Total Seal piston rings. The vehicle has been dyno-tested to produce 653 HP at the rear wheels, transmitted through a 4-speed automatic transmission. Additionally, four-wheel performance disc brakes facilitate stopping power.
This sale will include a rebuilt title.

@jbauto based on?
So, what is the V8 engine based on? I see a parts list but no explanation.
@BigBooter Just had one of my guys sit in the car, he went through all the gauges and lights and ac everything works as it should only thing wasn't working was the radio.
@BigBooter unfortunately we do not have any info on why it was originally declared a salvage title. The car was redone completely as a resto mod. The car is definitely a full re paint, and done correctly. I will have one of my guys sit in the car and test all electrical, and gauges to assure everything works.
I guess the question about the salvage history, from me at least - it was salvaged in April of 2023. Understanding it's a restomod, but curious if there is any indication of why? A flood could mean potential electrical issues, theft - anything, prior collision, was it repaired correctly? This appears to be a good driver for sure. Just trying to due some due diligance on my end. Appreciate the prompt responses below! GLWTA!

As we head into the final hours of the auction. We will be here to answer any questions you may have. Thanks to all that have watched and all those that have bid and good luck with the auction.
@BigBooter There is no indication of the reason for the salvage title anywhere.. Salvage can be anything, it isn't necessary a specific reason. Keep in mind this i a resto mod, the car has been completely built and redone. As for the movement on the car from what it seems original owner moved around then it was sold after that few times until it ran in Barrett Jackson in April in palm beach where current owner (car collector) bought it and brought it to his secondary house in Mass. He is a snow bird which travels down to Florida during the winters.
@matpatte there is no mention anywhere of any flood, this car is a resto mod..... it was completely built new.
@pinnacleimports1 -- what is the reason for the junk title. So this car went from Texas, up into Manitoba, back in to the US via Washington State back in 04/2023 - but then a salvage TX title after that....currently in MA??? Lots of questions on history here that should be addressed....if you are able to. Thx.
PS. very Cool car and in MA (same here)
Any explanation on the sudden junk title? Flooded in Texas?
