What Greg doesn't mention is that I bought the car and drove it from the San Diego area to Las Vegas. Made one pit and gas stop on the 302 mile trip. The car performed flawlessly!

Thanks, Greg!! Beautiful, rare, car.

Forgot to mention--I averaged 17.8 miles to the gallon, in traffic, up and down the Devore Pass, through Barstow, Baker, Mountain Pass and into Lost Wages----bugs in my teeth only partially hiding one big smile!

Finally got onto the Olds/Jetfire forum. Looking for some parts to finish off the car!

Thanks for the kind words.

I think GM sold the rights/tooling to that 215 engine to British Leyland/Rover in the early 70's. They used the 215 CI V8 in the Triumph TR8s built between 79-81 which were basically TR7 wedges with a V8, very fun cars

I am enjoying this car more each day. Honestly, it gets as much attention at the show and shines as either the Hemi Charger or the Yenko Deuce. Few old car enthusiast have ever seen the "fluid injected" turbo set up!
