Is this a Ultima or Turbo Ultima

Post by Dbrite111 »

So, I was getting a bit nostalgic and pulled out a couple of cars from 30 years ago. I cannot remember if this was an Ultima or a turbo Ultima. Can someone help?

The front shocks were from my RC 10

Looks to be a turbo judging by the rear tower and platinum shocks

Upper chassis, shock towers, and sway bars are turbo as well.

The only non turbo part I see is the front camber links and front shocks of course

Awesome! Thanks!!

Wondering if it’s worth restoring. Is there a site that sells shocks/wheels/rims ? eBay doesn’t seem to have any. Curious if there a site that offer vintage parts for these types of situations
