5031-TPA 1963 OLDSMOBILE F85 JETFIRE
This 1963 Oldsmobile F85 Jetfire holds a remarkable distinction as one of only six 1963 'Turbo intact, factory 4 speed' cars licensed and on the road. The Wedgewood Blue exterior paint creates a bold appearance while the Provincial White roof adds a distinctive contrast. The 14-inch wheels with 205/70R14 tires solidify its stance, while gleaming chrome bumpers and trim complete the classic look. The beltline trim and window surrounds maintain their original brilliance, amplifying this Jetfire's presence.
The blue vinyl interior reflects the era's innovative design philosophy. The bucket seats provide ideal positioning behind the wheel, while the console-mounted shifter adds a sporty touch. The dashboard houses clear, easy-to-read gauges, complemented by an AM radio and an aftermarket Pro Tach for enhanced monitoring. The blue theme carries through to the door panels, carpeting, and headliner, creating a cohesive look throughout the cabin.
The revolutionary aluminum 215 cubic inch turbocharged V8 made this Oldsmobile the world's first production turbocharged car. Mated to a Borg Warner T10 4-speed manual transmission, this powerplant features a single-barrel side draft carburetor working in concert with the Garrett AiResearch turbo. The engine bay displays factory-correct components, including the signature turbo rocket fluid reservoir. The coil spring suspension with factory air shocks (extremely rare option) in the rear maintains proper handling characteristics.
