Re: JetFire
I found this car in August in Los Angeles. It was sitting in the garage for 25+ years because it was not running. I found out later that the harmonic balancer had broken. The original owner had died 2 years ago and his estate was selling it along with 2 80's Caddys and the house. The Executors of the Estate are the owner's son-in-law and the owner's brother. They both remember when Tom (owner) bought it.
Its in great shape with no rust at all and all original. The Turbo rocket fluid has been decoded and there is a recipe for it: -35* windshield washer fluid (Methanol and water) + HEET (Methanol) + a little Prestone radiator Anti rust solution. There is a JetFire website with a regestry (about 5 working Turbo 1962 Jetfires in the world)with lots of info: http://oldsjetfire.com

Re: JetFire
Yea I know what you mean. I only meet 1 person that even knows that these cars existed. Great photos. I never saw that car before, it is just amazing. I checked and it is in the 1963 Regestry. Even though the 1963 looks alot different then the 1962, they are the same under the sheet metal. The 63 is bigger and the interior is differnet. Heres my tailights:
