  • The corvairs is cooler, came out like a month later

  • First turbocharged car..

  • 'Jetfire Turbo Rocket V-8'... well if that doesn't scream "Death on Wheels"... LoL

  • I had one of these, I added a tach and discovered it pumped up the lifters at only 4400 RPMs/98 MPH. It was fairly strong for a little 215 cube V8 engine, 215 gross HP. Got about 25 MPG. Wish I had it now, cute little red car, and with what I know about turbo engines now. It could make some serious power with a few mods. The auto trans puked at 40,000 miles and I converted to stick shift, then ran out of turbo fluid and engine melted down the pistons, and I swapped in 2bbl engine...

  • YAY!!! My parents had one of these -- I LOVED that car!! I was a kid at the time, and I remember my dad had to put a bottle of something like looked like milk into the engine periodically. Then my baby brother was born, and we had to trade it in for a VISTA CRUISER STATION WAGON (talk about a different kind of ride!). I did like looking out of the windows in the roof, though! :)

  • i love these old commercials. that car was sweet

  • way ahead of its time too bad so many were converted over to na 4 bbl making finding one even more rare indeed

  • after asking around the fourms i found out that just what you said

    still a cool car :P would be even better if it got 8000 mpg

  • that has got to be a typo. 1 gal of gas tacking you 750miles is crazy enough but 8000? i would like to reed this article

    "Drive across America on ONE gallon of gas"

    maybe its talking about the "Turbo Rocket Fluid" a mix of water and alcohol that is injected after the carb to cool the intake charge and prevent pre-ignition

  • i love it and i wish that i have so one omg

    i have a cutlass ciera 1989 3.3 but iam sure this one is better then what i have
