----I owned a low mileage 63 Jetfire a long time ago. Guys that knew anything about them (few and far between) called the methanol mix &quot;Moose Milk&quot;. I didnt keep the little bugger long as it only had about 7000 original miles on it and someone offered me way more for it than I paid. It was a really nice little car and always turned heads......Bill S

Got the Turbo Rocket running this weekend. I am amazed at the power, especially on the top end! I am sure this would beat many stock small block muscle cars. And this car is LOW. The top of the body above the door handle is 34&quot; above the ground. Only 2750 lbs also. Is this an early Muscle Car?

You've been busy Greg! It looks GREAT! Not something you see very often. I'll bet Hemmings Classics would be interested in your ride.

Very nice car.

With that tree farm next door, I would guess central valley somewhere, although I have seen terrain like that in San Diego county.

Yes, San Diego. I plan on attending the Heartbeat Happening car show on April 27th. I don't know about the Good Guys Del Mar Nationals on April 4-6 yet as the paint on this car has alot of patina and is not great.
