This 1987 Buick Regal T-Type is a true masterpiece, lovingly crafted by the owner, known as V12Buickguy. Under the hood, you'll find a roaring 5.5L M275 V12 engine from a 2005 Mercedes SL600. This isn't just any engine swap; it's been upgraded with FIC 1200 cc injectors, LSx coil packs, a Megasquirt MS3Pro ECU, and a pair of Precision PTE 6266 turbochargers. Originally producing 640 horsepower at the wheels on 14 psi of boost with pump fuel, this beast now runs at a fiery 24 psi of boost on E85 fuel.


Power is seamlessly transferred through a Mercedes 722.6 five-speed automatic transmission, controlled by a PCS TCM-2800 transmission controller and a high-pressure valve body from Sound German Automotive. A custom Driveshaft Shop driveshaft channels the power to a robust GM 10-bolt rear end, featuring a locking differential and 31-spline axles.
The suspension is just as impressive, with QA1 double-adjustable coilovers up front and custom-valved AFCO double-adjustable rear shocks by TRZ Motorsports. Stopping power is provided by Mercedes E55 8-piston calipers paired with Corvette C6 Z06 rotors. The car rides on stylish Weld RTS S71 wheels, measuring 18x8.5 inches in the front and 15x10 inches in the rear.
