83 M491 SC Cab - info?
A guy at work has what he says is an 83 SC cabriolet with the Turbo look package (M491?) which i didn't think started until the 84 Carrera.
Can anyone point me to some location where I can get info on this car until I get the VIN off him. Thanks

No need to get the VIN.
He has an SC that someone welded flares on to. |

Or just look at the rear brakes. The caliper is on the opposite side than what the SC or Carrera is. I believe the turbo brakes, and thus the M491, are on the rear of the hub.

He claims it's not a creation. It's a euro btw
I have read rumors that you could get one in 83 through the special wishes program but I have not confirmed.

Everyone claims that their aftermarket flared SC is a "Special Wishes" car.
Been happening on this forum for years and years. It's never proven true. |

What engine? Probably an 83 manufacture date 3.2 car.
I had a 77 3.0 that was what I guess was what would be called a special wishes car. It had been converted at the factory to turbo look. |

It's an SC 3.0 L
I found some more information, there were 2 produced for the German market. Trying to get more info still.

Contact the turbo look registry in Germany. They should be able to confirm. |
