1987 Buick Regal GNX & Turbo T

Not every muscle car needs a massive V8 engine or an aggressive appearance to command respect. Sometimes, the most dangerous machine on the road looks like an ordinary American coupe.

The 1987 Buick Regal GNX & Turbo T collection brings three iconic turbocharged performance cars to Project Zomboid, combining classic 1980s styling, impressive speed and extensive customization possibilities.

With their distinctive rectangular bodies, spacious interiors and understated appearance, these Buicks represent a different side of American performance history.

They might look perfectly at home in a quiet suburban driveway, but don't let their appearance fool you.

These cars are fast. Very fast.

And if you decide to discover their maximum speed on the abandoned highways of Kentucky, you'd better make sure the road ahead is clear.

Three Buick Regal Variants

The mod introduces three versions of the classic Buick Regal:

• 1987 Buick Regal Turbo T - A turbocharged performance coupe combining traditional American styling with impressive driving capabilities.
• 1987 Buick Regal Turbo T FBI - A discreet variant with a stealthier appearance, perfect for players who prefer an understated performance car.
• 1987 Buick Regal GNX - The legendary high-performance version, bringing the unmistakable character of Buick's iconic turbocharged coupe to the apocalypse.

Each variant features its own characteristics and performance statistics, giving players a reason to experiment with different models.

Despite these differences, all three vehicles share their components, making maintenance and restoration more convenient.

Every version also includes four seats, allowing you to bring a small group of survivors along for the ride.

Performance Meets Practicality

The Buick Regal offers an unusual combination of speed, passenger space and classic American styling.

Unlike smaller two-seat sports cars, these coupes can accommodate four occupants while still delivering exciting performance.

This makes them appealing for players who want a fast vehicle without completely sacrificing the ability to travel with friends.

However, high speed brings additional risks.

Kentucky's roads are filled with abandoned vehicles, unexpected obstacles and wandering zombies. Even a powerful Buick can become a wreck after one badly timed maneuver.

Choose your route carefully before pushing the accelerator.

Two-Tier Armor Protection

Speed alone won't protect your car from the dangers of Knox County.

Fortunately, the mod includes an extensive system of craftable protective equipment, allowing you to reinforce vulnerable components.

Available upgrades include:

• Three front bumper configurations
• One rear bumper configuration
• Two tiers of bumper protection
• Bullbars and additional protective attachments
• Armor plates for windows
• Reinforcement for doors
• Engine compartment protection
• Headlight armor

All vehicle parts are shared between the three variants, while the available equipment can be crafted and repaired.

This allows you to gradually improve your favorite Buick without abandoning it after the first serious accident.

Customization and Exterior Accessories

Beyond armor, the collection includes a wide selection of visual and functional customization options.

Available components include:

• Different front and rear bumpers
• Bullbars and protective accessories
• Roof racks
• Front lips and aerodynamic body details
• Rear spoilers
• Window armor
• Multiple exterior texture variations
• Removable body panels and accessories

Additional parts can be crafted or discovered throughout the game world.

You can preserve the clean appearance of a classic Turbo T, equip an FBI variant with protective components or transform a GNX into a distinctive apocalypse-ready performance car.

Detailed Animations and Interactive Parts

All three vehicles feature detailed body animations and interactive components.

The hood, trunk, doors and windows are fully animated. The interior and character remain visible during driving, while improved entering, exiting and aiming animations make interactions more natural.

Additional features include:

• Removable 3D parts that can be placed in the game world
• Shared components between all three vehicles
• Craftable and repairable equipment
• Four passenger seats
• Support for towing other vehicles
• Ability to be towed when necessary

Future Additions

The creator has also mentioned several planned additions:

• Sunroof variants
• T-top roof configurations
• Standard chrome versions without blackout styling
• Additional customization components

These features are planned for future updates and are not part of the currently described equipment.

• Build 42.12 - Single Player supported
• Build 42.13+ - Single Player and Multiplayer supported

The 1987 Buick Regal GNX & Turbo T collection is an excellent addition for players who appreciate classic American performance cars, turbocharged engines and detailed vehicle customization.

Three distinctive variants, interchangeable parts, extensive protective equipment and impressive performance make these Buicks an exciting alternative to ordinary transportation.

Find an abandoned Turbo T, restore a discreet FBI coupe or prepare the legendary GNX for a journey across Kentucky.

Just remember that surviving the zombie apocalypse is difficult enough without losing control of a turbocharged Buick at full speed.
