      Sign me up. I'll take 2 if they would work on my VW Bug driven by my disgruntled German otherwise known as a "Sour Kraut". He use to be one of those Fokkers in Messerschmitts.

        Isn't prefabricated Amulite illegal now?
        No pixels were harmed, honest.

          Only in California. They banned it when they banned Dihydrogen Monoxide.

            My old Monte Carlo didn't even have a NON-turbocharged encabulator. The General was lagging on new tech, I guess.


            But that's OK. I managed to increase horsepower on-the-cheap anyway, just by installing higher quality muffler bearings and swapping out the stock blinker fluid with some new-fangled synthetic stuff.

              The general was not lagging.

              I present the monte carlo turbo.

              Someday, the 1980 monte carlo turbo will be a collector car.......along with the other lesser known (and rare) cars like the buick century turbo coupe, the lesabre turbo sport coupe, riviera T-type turbo and maybe a couple of others.

                  Mine was a green '81...3.8 V6...no blower. We nearly got the black turbo i had seen in the showroom earlier, but it sold a week before. Always was bummed about that.

                  Neither version had an encabulator option though. It must have been an aftermarket add-on in those days

                    That was a dissapointment. Too much of that on the net. Wish it was something informative.
