faksta · August 27, 2009, 12:45:52 PM

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

faksta · 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

faksta · August 29, 2009, 07:33:42 AM

Not Monza Mirage, but a GM car for sure.

faksta · August 30, 2009, 09:59:40 AM

OK, let's give Pros a chance.

Arunas · August 30, 2009, 11:10:57 AM

Plymouth?

faksta · August 30, 2009, 11:14:37 AM

Not Plymouth.

Arunas · August 30, 2009, 12:46:07 PM

Dodge?

Ray B. · August 30, 2009, 12:55:03 PM

Not my puzzle, but the answer was already given to that, Arunas

Well, it's not Dodge either.

Octavia · September 03, 2009, 01:41:07 PM

Pontiac Sunbird

latham_f2 · September 03, 2009, 05:41:40 PM

Looks very like an Opel Manta to me

faksta · September 04, 2009, 03:06:58 AM

Not Pontiac or Opel

Paul Jaray · October 10, 2009, 05:58:38 PM

From USA?

metalshapes · 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 · 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 · October 11, 2009, 03:00:06 PM

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

metalshapes · 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...)

Yes, it was a special series car, I don't remember for sure, but maybe some kind of a promotional vehicle.
