Extremely Rare 1963 Oldsmobile Jetfire factory Turbocharged, ethanol injected, luminum V8, ardtop coupe. Only a few of these are left on the planet in working condition (about 12). Very original, ll stock.
Jetfires were special built: In 1962 Oldsmobile took a F85convertiblebody and welded on a Buick Skylark hardtop (at this time, here was not a hardtop in the F85 line up). Jetfireswere further factory modified to accommodate the special TURBO ROCKET motor andMethanolinjection system. This motor is a work of art and an engineering masterpiece.The Turbocharger is a Garret AiResearch T-5 built forOldsmobilethat puts out 5-7 psi of boost. The engine compressionratio is 10.25, o there is NO turbo lag. The Methanol injection system stops enginedetention and is controlled by the amount of boost produced.This motor wasone of a few to have 1 hp per cubic inch at the time (215hp/215ci, 01lbs torque).

The Oldsmobile Jetfire was only made for 2 years and is the World's first Turbocharged Production car. A few thousand were built. Most people have never heard of these special cars, nd with a lot of Turbos being used in the late model cars now days, ncluding the 2016 Mustang, t has become Historically Significant as the first.
