    Does anyone know anything about this car? It's a 1986 Buick Century T type. Never heard of it. Looks pretty sweet. I would pimp it.

    Yup. It had the 3.8 in it. Nice steering wheel and rims. Bucket seats with a center console. Just never seen one like it. And never seen one that was badged as a t type.

    Oh you better believe I was looking for a turbo when I saw the t-type badges. But no, N/A 3.8 is all it was. But still it was kinda of cool. If I had it. It would definitely be getting some up grades off of a Grand National. I just love me some sleepers.

    Buick T types were in their best around 87. Lots of guys love them. Really there was little special about them mechanically, it was all cosmetics.

    The LeSabre was the one to get...seen hur:



    I had a '86 Century Custom coupe with the Iron Duke in it...but it wasn't a T-Type...still a rarer car tho...don't see hardly any coupe Century's around...even in junkyards.

    This was a Century Custom T-Type Coupe...do want.



    For whatever reason I always liked them...but I think that white one might be a swapped car...I don't think they ever came in white. Pretty sure it was silver/black/red...and that was it.

    If it was a swap, it was one of the most thoroughly done swap I have ever seen. The even did the emissions sticker that said 3.8 engine. So I seriously doubt it was a swap. I don't think anyone would go that in-depth into a century to make a clone.

    I actually owned a 87 Buick Regal T that also was not a turbo, it had a V8 in it.
    I special ordered late in 1986 including black out package and posi rear. It was a great running car, alittle slow, but it looked and drove great! Sold it to a collector in 2000 with 58,000 miles on it. This collector knew as well as I did not many made.
