See the link to eBay. 1980 slant nose with "turbo's", 425 hp, and power steering! Wow, wouldn't that be nice. Has anyone ever heard of retrofitting power steering? Seems it would be one heck of a chore to modify. Nothing mentioned about EFI, so I wonder how trashed this thing is running that kind of power with stock CIS. Hmmm....

I doubt it has it, but there is an electric pump driven PS system out there. Someone posted about it here a good while back.
The pic I wanted is gone, but here's the thread.

Keep in mind.. its being sold by a Chevy dealership and I'm sure they have no clue what that car really is or has. It was probably taken as a trade, or belongs to a relative or froend of the owner or something weird. It seems to be getting bids and will probably sell for under $20K
I can tell you that the reason this car is on ebay is because they can't sell it in the area where they're located. Warrenton is about 45min to an hour SW of DC...and very different. Those that can afford it buy either new luxury cars, Corvettes, Vipers or Peek-um-up trucks! Those that want it cant get financed on a car that old...thus can't afford it.
The engine pic shows that there is no EFI..but it does have a long neck IC....
May also be a steel conversion on the fenders for those who like slants....
