    I'm looking for the air intake tube for a 1979 Buick Regal Turbo. I believe they are red in color. Let me know if you might have one or know of somebody. Thanks.

    They made a turbo regal in '79? I thought the only turbo car (domestic) was the turbo trans-am that was a freak oddity?

    Yeah we got one that we're putting back together. We've had it quite awhile and it wasn't are first one either. Meaning 79 that is.
     
  4. have the whole set up in a 79 lasabre yet. the guy that has it blew the motor and wants to part everything out. i do not know which part for sure you want but everything is there yet.
    he thought he might get $150 for the intake and all the turbo stuff along with the tubes and everything else you might want from the top. just called him while i was making this out.

    We are only in need of the inlet tube which looks like an accordian. Hope that is spelt right.

    They made the turdo Mustang in 1979 and 1980.

    I had a turbo four cylinder 1979 Mustang that would out run most V8 cars.
