People are dragging these out of swamps now but the critical turbo components to rebuild the turbos has run out, so unless you already have a restored turbo on hand, you are not going to be able to restore a Jetfire.
Rick, your Jetfire is one of the best (I should know!). Try it at auction, it should do well.
----The Mecum Jetfire may have had a disc-brake addition, but there was a 15 wheel inch option on 63 Cutlasses. I know as a buddy ordered his 4-speed convert new with 15s......Bill S
