Hey all i'm new to this site been told its a good place to find info aswell as parts for v6 Turbo's. I've got a 1981 Monte Carlo Turbo found this car back in March in a Barn. Car had been owned by the same family since new with 87900 km's when i purchased the car. I've now had it on the road for almost 2 months and have put a little over 1000km's on the car as i've been working out the bugs in its to make it work alot better. I've been looking for air intake tube for this car as mine is in bad shape also looking for some chrome trim pieces and a few other misc. parts. If anyone has any parts for this car let me know i'm very interested and have only found 1 other person that has one of these Monte's. I know there was 3027 of these built in 1981 and mine is fully optioned with T-Tops.

i'm for sure a intake tube wont be hard to find. everyone always get rid of them to make a cold air kit. are you not in the US? no one here uses km's.

Got any pics to post up? Welcome, and congrats on the purchase!
Like James said, welcome aboard! Please post some pics of the car.
Since you sound like a knuk a little more info may be needed but we're glad to help if we can.:smile:So far its been hard to find any parts for this car. I'm glad it didn't need alot to get on the road. I need the red air intake tube, aswell as the part on top of the carb. I need the chrome driver rear wheel well trim. both sides of the front bumper chrome trim. Trunk lid lift supports and the glove box door and latch.

Nice car.
The 1981 Turbo V6 for the US would have been computer controlled, but for export to Canada, I believe it has a set up without a computer like a 1980 US engine.
The red elbow on the carb is slightly different for the computer controlled Q-jets (has a notch for the MC solenoid). There are different styles of the accordion hose, but I believe any will all fit if from a Regal or Century (maybe even LeSabre). Red with the 90° front end might be a 1981 part only.

Nice car - don't see too many of those.
I so have enjoyed this car over my first 3 months of having it on the road. I've worked out a few kinks that i've found so far and know that the motor will be pulled out as of the end of October to clean up and redo gaskets. Also plan on cleaning up the engine bay and painting to original standards aswell as the motor. If anyone has any info on where to get the correct paint that would be greatly appreicated.

That is one of the nicest turbo montes I've seen so far. Do you have any interior pics?
