Re: Turbo Rocket-Oldsmobile COPO?
It's about time you "non-believers" (joking you know) took notice of our beloved Oldsmobiles! Olds engineers were on the forefront of technology on many clandestine operations that most of the public (car guys included) are/were not unaware of. Some of the ideas never made it past the drawing board or prototype stages, and not all were 100% successful (late '70s -early '80s diesels), but many were quite innovative such as the rarity discussed here. This was not the first turbo-car from Olds that was available to the masses. I personally like the '63s a little better than the '62s, (I like the '64 f85 post body style best). I'd love to own this car if I had the means to store it properly, and YES!, that engine does look daunting. Please tell us more about this car's history and how you came to acquire it; if that info has been posted I missed it.
Great car and thanks for sharing!!! Love the color, too!!!
