Typical car show for me, have not met one person that knew these cars were made:

Another show yesterday at Cruisin' Grand in Escondido, CA. I put a information sheet n the windshield because I got exhausted telling people what this car is. Its alot of fun watching people walk by and then see whats under the hood. At first they think I added a Turbo, but they can see that there is no way it is home engineered:

Wanted to post this photo of the original Turbo Rocket Fluid tank cap that is included. Works perfect. It is designed to release excess Turbo boost if the waste gate failed. Very rare cap, only for this application.

The Fluid tank monitor is the other port on top of the tank. It is a brass float with gears to turn a switch on top of the tank and light the "add fluid" lamp under the "Turbo Charger" words on the turbo gauge located on the center console.
There is disinformation out there about how this system works. There is no way to damage the engine if the fluid runs out. When the fluid is empty, the cap opens, the waste gate opens and a secondary throttle valve in the throttle body closes, preventing the engine from making any boost.

Because these cars are so Rare (only 12 in running condition with Turbo intact), the collector car Value Guides have nothing to go on. They are based on old data of incomplete, rusty, and non-turbo cars sold over 10 years ago. These 12 cars never change hands, the last eBay sale was over 2 years ago for $42,100.00. Once in a lifetime chance to own one.

Make me an good offer.
