Monte Carlo turbo

I was looking at the random pics at the bottom of the main page and seen the ad for a Monte Carlo SC Turbo. How rare is that car cause iv never heard of such

It's fairly rare as it was only made for a year or two in the early 80's. It's a blow-through carb setup and is the same setup used on the early turbo Regals in the late 70's. It is rare today because, like all turbo engines, it requires more maintenance to keep it working right, and most people ignore their cars until something goes wrong. Doing this with a turbo does not make it happy for long, and so when they die due to neglect or improper operation, they get junked.

I had a chance to buy one but unfortunatly someone else bought it . All it really is a monte with a buck grand national motor in it ,and it does take a lot to kept up but it's well worth it.

Fairly rare, but not really sought after either. The early turbo cars were extremely slow.

I found a really nice 80 turbo here... If it had a 305, I would've bought it.

GM has a history of slapping a turbo on an engine and advertising it alot to draw a crowd to the model.
