Here's a cool car I saw on CL:
http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/5927227864.html
How would a potential owner replace the turbo? Can these turbos be purchased anymore? I suppose one could always install an aftermarket turbo... but for a car that is so rare it would be a shame.
FWIW, I just answered my own question.

Very cool, thanks for posting! I just called him and left a message. The turbo on your ebay link is just the turbo itself. There is much more to the turbo system to make it work.
Here is a picture of the turbo, carb and fluid metering system complete. From what I can tell in the limited picture views, I believe he is also missing the intake and exhaust manifolds, check and relief valve, Fluid tank, and fluid tank cap that are all super rare parts. Maybe he has some of those parts to go with the car? Looks like a great project. Just curious what the asking price is. Most people think these cars are worth a fortune.

I didn't think that a specific intake / exhaust manifold and carburetor would be needed. I just ASSumed the carburetor would have been a 2GC or 4GC Rochester like the any other from that era.

The guy that listed it did so for a friend. His friend is supposed to call me back.

It looks like it is good enough that it would be worth the hunt for all the parts and convert it back. I hope it gets saved. Another member on here and I both have all the parts it would need but the car just needs to find the right hands.
