That's good news on both counts. I'm glad you sold it and I'm glad the car will be repaired. Hopefully you'll see it in it's renewed beauty. Does the new owner live close?

I'm glad it worked out for you (other than wrecking the car). It will now be rebuilt and the Duntov will live again!.
Maybe ve will see it on the road when he gets it back together again being only 100 miles north

What kind of turbo was on it originally? Something like the martin system? There's an accel turbosonic system on ebay now, would be really cool to put that on. :)

Don't know 100%... I read that the manufactorer was Turbo International and that they went bancrupt in 1980... However - there's a company called Turbo International that is still around... I actually e-mailed them but never received a response.

My mother-in-law lives in PSL part of the year. The family and I were going to
visit in April, but we decided to send the kids down by themselves.
I'll have to keep an eye out when we visit - might even snag a pic of her someday.

Olivier, you must have the buyers email addy. You'll have to harass them until
they join the forum. We all know - once you come in .... :lol: :reddevil (evil laugh).
It would be really cool to watch the rebuild - plus he will need help along the way. :yesnod:

Here's to seeing her drive again (soon) :cheers:

Make sure you let us know before you come over. We will have a small get together if you do come. On Mar 29, we are having a fastest street car on street tire shootout, no ET streets allowed if you are going to be here that Sat night.
