Because with the turbo and T-tail (don't slow below 75k on final) no one wants them so it was a steal! Keep in mind it was a 79. Had no issues with the stock manual waste gate turbocharger - but as a professional pilot I babied it).
Also I could do Dallas to Michigan (family) non-stop in 5 hours on 10 gallons an hour and still have 2.4 hours of fuel remaining!
