    Ok so I stumbled upon this listing on ebay.


    http://img.autorevo.com/1979-y89-10t...1-17-large.jpg



    An amazing 92 Grand prix Richard Petty limited edition. Mint all the way through. Decked out GM car with options never seen like a 2nd gear start switch, presumably for launching better. MY question is the car is listed as the 3.4 dual cam on ebay(which im not a fan of) but the dash says intercooled Turbo. Looking at the engine bay pics theres no Turbo. ?

    Very sharp looking car (love the color) but the interior looks like a grandma mobile. Regarding the turbo... I don't know much about those engines but if it has a turbo it would probably be under the air box? I'm sure somebody will know the scoop.

    They did make a 3.1l turbo GP in that era. Someone swapped dashes.

    I'm familiar with the 3.1 turbo. My thing is, why would someone have a numbered car, so well taken care of, so documented and switch gauge consoles? Its so weird.

    My guess is because the cluster had such low mileage, probably a scam / odometer fraud by looking at it a little closer.
