ebay ad says its a turbo 5cyl with a 5-speed and factory ordered amazingly. ad also says it has a 717.400 gearbox. Arent those the ones with the separate bell housing and a fifth gear ratio .813?

instead of 90, more like 130hp, but the ad does say 90hp, AND it also describes the car as a turbo variant. that car would be very entertaining to drive. If its factory, I wonder what they used for a rear end, and a flywheel. my feeling is the stock turbo 3.07 diff would be great with an overdrive option, in fact, ive been glacially building that myself forever.

This car should be snapped up, even at that price. Looks like a very very nice example, and would be very capable of keeping up with traffic and cruising economically at highway speeds


EDIT-

From the pics, that car definitely is a non turbo, from the NA manifold, and I failed to read the sellers note that makes that clear. Too bad, I wish it were so.
I guess its only an extremely rare 5-speed NA version.
