Factory 1980 Turbo..

I've read articles about these, NEVER in my wildest dreams did I think I would be able to see one and talk to the owner of one.

I wonder what the power output was? Looks different then the units made by ACI for the Duntov Turbo's. Sure would have been quite the ride in 1980!

Joe,

I believe the plaque on the driver side said 505 dyno @ 505 to rear wheels :eek

I wish I could remember which Turbo they used on this one. Seems they used 3 different Turbo setups. I remember the owner saying it was one used on aircraft, but name escapes me.

There is on up our way that I was fortunate enough to see last year.
the vette was mind blowing as every thing about it was an 81 , but it was also a vert as well...which they did not make,so it was confusing to say the least when we were trying to figure out what year it was and the story behind it!!!

Wow if they had produced this it would have put the Buick Grand National as an afterthought when it comes to a turbo powered sports car...
