weird i have never seen that

Looks like a fuel rail cover from a Series I 3800 Engine modified to Fit.

ac is disconnected......MAF sensor and air cleaner assembly is gone......

 

[larry33kc]

how does that little itty bitty hose fit on the inlet bell

 

[Cakes]

That little hose looks to be the upper radiator hose and not the turbo inlet hose. The turbo inlet hose looks missing.

holy shiznits,is that a spark plug in the hose from the turbo to the passengers Valve cover

 

[fast-turbo]

Check out the radio and shifter handle. Those look like they came from a grand am or something?

 

[gn85]

Whoa Nelly!

That thing looks like a hack and a half job. Darn thing shouldn't be running. Sold as-is??? RUN RUN RUN!!!

Just saw the shifter handle is wrong, the horn button's missing.

My g/f just saw that the headrests have no Turbo6 emblem!

Looks like round coil packs. And yes, that does look like a spark plug. HUH!

Also, look on the hood. No emblems there! In the listing, it's listed as a 'convertible' as an option??? I'm sure he meant t-tops, but come on. The seller has had 9 other sales so far, including a $40,000 Mercedes Benz. Man... does THAT scream run away from this thing.

Has anyone considered emailing the bidders to point these things out. We all know how we hate to see someone screwed when entering this community.


Very odd.

hurtin for certain!

definatly not something i would buy.

there are 2 things i see that i do like though. the plastic valve cover covers look pretty cool, maybe if they were something like a corvette cover, only saying turbo or buick or something, it could look good. on the passengerside of the throttle body there is some cover (right above the mystery spark plug) it kindof cleans things up a little. other than that its a complete botch job thats only worth the price of the parts on the car.

 

[1QUICK85]

WTF.............that sucks. The carpet in my GN is black do they come with grey carpet too? I know the 84's have lighter carpeting. Got to love that Grand Am shifter Missing the buick emblem on the grille too.

 

[mob1202]

That car is a joke,am I the only one getting a kick out of this?
I feel bad for whoever gets that thing..

That's not a cover for the valve cover. That's a cover for the fuel rail. If you look carefully you'll see the gray valve cover further to the sides where they belong. Not easy to see on the passenger side.

 

[87gninpa]

i just dont see how that car is even running. there is no hose to the inlet bell, no maf, and a freakin spark plug there for no reason!!!!!!! i feel really bad for the person who buys it and thinks as loosely quoted from the description, "Car runs good, but could use a tune up"(or something to that effect). that really sucks

 

[87gninpa]

also, the reason there is no tuebo "6" on the headrests is because you can tell the seats have been recoverd with some crappy aftermarket material. look at them and then look at yours you can tell they are all bubbly and just plain crappy looking. also, id be willing to be the car has 154k and not the 54k as claimed

 

[Maltman]

Gotta love parts that are held on by ZIP TIES!!!!
