1984 Buick Regal RWD Cars Fact Sheet

The Regal Limited included the base Regal equipment: bumper guards and protective strips, power brakes and steering, AM radio, cigarette lighter, dual horns, dual chrome mirrors, color-keyed body-side moldings. More sumptuous notch back 45/55 front seats (cloth or vinyl), and P195/75R14 steel-belted radial whitewalls were added.

All engines except the base 231 CID (3.8 Liter) V-6 could be equipped with the four-speed overdrive automatic transmission.

Regal’s high-performance T Type had the new 3.8 Liter V-6 with turbocharger and sequential port fuel injection, which produced 200 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. Distributor-less ignition on the turbo used three computer-controlled ignition coils to send current to the spark plugs. T Types came with a 3.42:1 performance axle ratio, overdrive automatic transmission, Gran Touring suspension, leather-wrapped steering wheel turbo boost gauge, trip odometer, tachometer, and air conditioning.

Buick’s display of turbo technology at auto shows during 1984 was highlighted later in the model year by the emergence of the 1984 Regal Grand National “produced in limited numbers for those who demand a high level of performance.” Its purpose was to give much of the feeling of a NASCAR race car. It was an option on the T-Type carrying a $1,282 price tag, but few many Grand National packages found their way onto T Type Regals in1984.

Grand Nationals were equipped with the turbo 3.8 engine, P215/60R black walls, sport steering wheel, tachometer and boost gauge, and 94-arnp Delcotron. Distinctive bodies came only in black, with black bumpers, rub strips and guards; black front air dam and deck lid spoiler; black headlamp bezels; turbo aluminum wheels with black paint; and Grand National identification on front fenders.

The optional Lear Siegler interior had the front seats embroidered with the Grand National logo.
