Default Re: Whats the difference in a T-Type and a T-Type GN?

To expand a bit ...
  • In 1986 there was a "T-Type" which was a specific package that included suspension, trim, badging, bucket seats, turbo motor, black out moldings, etc. As Scott pointed out, a GN kind of "starts" with the T-Type package.
  • In 1987, the options were broken out a bit more and "T" Package became suspension, badging, wheels, and trim.
  • In 1987 you could order a "T" Package Regal with a 307 Olds V8 (it came without the turbo "bubble" hood).
  • In fact, you could get a base Regal with bench seat, column shift, chrome base mirrors, AM Radio and then get the LC2 turbo motor in it (which came with the T package suspension and wheels and A/C as "mandatory options".)
  • Since the turbo motor and the "T" package weren't necessarily linked together in 1987, some unique combinations can be found ... V8 "T"s, Limited Regals with the turbo drivetrain, base Regals with the turbo drivetrain, Regals with bench seats, 60/40 split seats, leather 60/40 seats, buckets, black out trim or chrome trim, etc, etc.
  • A "special" option "T" ... referred to as the "Turbo T" or WE4 was available late in the production run that came black with GN black bumpers, grey bucket interior (not the GN black and grey), no rear spoiler, "T" wheels, turbo motor, and black out moldings.
