I know Greg's cars personally having bought his 1963 Olds Jetfire. The cars, and Greg, are both first class! You absolutely can't go wrong buying this car. It's stunning!

Yes, the Cutlass was introduced mid-year 1961 so only 9944 were produced. This one is body #3666 built 05D.

What a unique and interesting car. GLWS. How does it run and drive? Seems like reasonable money for something so unusual and rare.

[69SSZL1]

It goes great, handles good with the 205/60-15 T/A's. The transmission has a TV (throttle valve) rod from the carbs to the trans. You can adjust your shirt points from under the hood. You can adjust it to chirp the tire shifting to second gear. This car really moves on the open road. The shift pattern on these cars is P N D S L R. The "S" does not stand for second gear, it stands for "Super Range", which is more aggressive shifting and holds the gear unless 60 mph is reached, then it will shift to "Drive". It is a four speed range trans. The fluid coupling has the 1-2 shift which you can not feel or control.

Hey Gregg, been a long time.
Where's the JL8 plain Jane car? still have it? If so, it needs to "come out of the closet"
You sold the Z right?

Here's what I came up with next. Barn find, 1963 Oldsmobile Jetfire, 4 speed, factory Turbocharged aluminum V8, compete and all working, unrestored all original. I will detail the engine, and get it roadworthy. One of these just sold at Mecum Indy for $50k. This one still has some original "Turbo Rocket Fluid" (Methanol) in the spare bottle:
