‘87 Turbo Regal

[Gusszgs]

This is just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt.
I have NEVER owned a more enjoyable car, and I’ve owned quite a few different muscle cars over the years.
That being said, you MUST learn how to tune these cars and work on them with much patience.
Many don’t like the finicky nature of them and give up.
If your going to purchase one I highly recommend doing you research prior to make sure the car is/has a good foundation to build on.
Do a compression check, cooling system check. A stock unmolested TR is what to look for. Although that’s a rarity.
If you find one with mods do your homework, chances are it’s be beaten on. Again, not necessarily a bad thing provided the owner is a good tuner.
These cars are still to this day very quick with mods and will break many hearts
My Ltd is a prime example of a “wolf in sheep’s clothing”
Cushy bench seat, loaded with power moonroof, AC, ect....
Pretty much anyone who’s had a ride in it is completely shocked with with the power it makes.
The look on the they’re face at 26 psi and alky is priceless.
The car runs low 11’s in the 1/4 and the motor is stock un ported heads.
All that being said, it’s accompanied with 22-25 mpg if driven civil. Easier said than done lol

I've been driving and owning TRs for over 25 years and they're just a great car. I do all my own work. Sure, you have to learn how to work on these cars just as you'd have to learn to work on any electronically controlled car today. It would be best to learn them for yourself, because, other than an extremely experienced TR owner, there isn't a repair garage I would allow to work on either of my 2 TRs, or my GN drivetrain El Camino.

TRs are BADASS! -- super reliable, fun to drive, and cheap to operate.

Yea I started going the homework on them as you should always let the turbo cool down before shutting off the car ect .the car did have a upgrade turbo set up and did not look stock

That’s a myth, only if you’ve just thrashed the shyte out of it at the track. Even then, by time you get back to pits it’s cooled off.
Does anyone go out and trash they’re car, then immediately shut it off. Hardly, you usually continue on, cruising at at a civil pace.

Mine is a draw though engine converted intercooled blow through engine. Mine is on the tame side, but wow. Don't underestimate the little six. More fun than a cammed up small block. But beware boost is addictive!

Depending on how young your kids are? Car seats do not work very good with a unworn out rear seat in a Monte. If you only have one kid? The center works the best for a car seat. That is why I want a wagon or four door Gbody for a daily driver.
