Even more interesting is the SU carburetor and the double front-ended red and blue
car in the picture.

Missed that pic of the 2.5" SU ,holy sh#t they don't work that great on an N/A motor let alone on a turbo motor,expect its an old Crown conversion ?,could be wrong here hoping someone will chime in ?.

Ouch. $10K?

Also looks to have 4 carb, Corvair 140 hp heads. You can see 1
of the carb mounts blocked by a solid plate.
140 hp heads had larger valves so I don't think Corvair
turbo sodium exhaust valves fit..??

They made adapters for 1 3\4" SU carbs and Weber 45 DCOE carbs.
Both were supposed to be an improvement over the factory Carter.

Turbo set-up looks to be stock GM, except for the air cleaner and carb.

That's a lot of work someone put into converting and probably too much work to get it back to driving for $10k.
