For one point I need make and model of this car.

faksta · « **Reply #1 on:** August 29, 2009, 06:43:29 AM »

To experts.

Looks like a GM H-platform so could be a Chevy Monza ,Pontiac Sunbird, Buick Skyhawk, Oldsmobile Starfire,
Pontiac Astre, Chevrolet Vega - same base car - but im sure you want more than that !!!

More specifically a Monza Mirage for example

Not Monza Mirage, but a GM car for sure.

OK, let's give Pros a chance.

faksta · « **Reply #6 on:** August 30, 2009, 11:14:37 AM »

Not Plymouth.

Arunas · « **Reply #7 on:** August 30, 2009, 12:46:07 PM »

Dodge?

Well, it's not Dodge either.

Octavia · « **Reply #10 on:** September 03, 2009, 01:41:07 PM »

Pontiac Sunbird

latham_f2 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 03, 2009, 05:41:40 PM »

Looks very like an Opel Manta to me

faksta · « **Reply #12 on:** September 04, 2009, 03:06:58 AM »

Not Pontiac or Opel

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #13 on:** October 10, 2009, 05:58:38 PM »

From USA?

metalshapes · « **Reply #14 on:** October 10, 2009, 10:45:09 PM »

I think its a Buick Skyhawk Turbo.

Edit.

These cars were 1978's and had Doug Roe turbocharger kits.

Edit again.

Looks like the pic was taken from a Feb 78 Car & Driver article about it.

faksta · « **Reply #15 on:** October 11, 2009, 01:42:04 AM »

Yes, it is American and yes, metalshapes is right - it is a Buick Skyhawk Turbo.

Is that enough Info, or are you looking for more?

faksta · « **Reply #17 on:** October 11, 2009, 03:00:06 PM »

Nope, that's enough. I just forget to move it

metalshapes · « **Reply #18 on:** October 11, 2009, 03:05:36 PM »

Cool...

Because thats all I could find.

( other than this is probably the first time the Buick turbo 6 logo was used...)
