Exactly what is an Oldsmobile F-85 Jetfire wagon? Well, to start, it's a one-year-only, five-door spinoff of the 1961 Cutlass (F-85). And it bears the name "Jetfire," thanks to a 215-cubic-inch, 215-horsepower (300 lb-ft of torque), all-aluminum Oldsmobile Jetfire Turbo-Rocket V-8 engine that was designated exclusively for 1962/1963 F-85 sport coupes and convertibles, and 1962 station wagons. A BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission completed the unique cars' dynamic drivetrain.
OMG!*&%! I cant believe how this misinformation is spreading all over the internet because of Hot Rod and Motor Trend covering this wagon at the auction. This is a fabricated 1 of NONE wagon built by a guy that had Jetfire parts laying around. Jetfires were 1962 and 1963 HARD TOP COUPE only cars, no wagons, sport coupes, or convertibles were ever factory produced. There are 2 fake convertibles out there also. 1962,63 Cutlass were post cars, only the Jetfire was a Hard Top COUPE and you could only get the Turbo in a Hard Top COUPE Jetfire.
Here is my REAL 1962 Jetfire:
