Re: rare 1964 jetfire

i hear you guys about restoration and rarity and all, and you're right but the turbo has design defects and has to have a special mix of fuel to not knock. alcohol and water injection, mixed in a special reservoir, it just seems like a hassle.

a friend said that a similar car was very quick when tuned right and ran in D-stock at the drags. and because of lightweight and small cubic inches would put a lot of cars on the trailer in stock eliminator.

truthfully, i had never heard of them before. JetFire... just sounds cool.

a complete restoration is way out of my budget and most of the parts would have to be from other cars and who knows how many there are or were.

the tempting thing is its very cheap. i going to see if there's a Oldsmobile forum out there... need knowledge...
