This 1963 Oldsmobile F85 Jetfire holds a remarkable distinction as
one of only six remaining 4-speed examples known to exist. 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 air shocks in the
rear maintains proper handling characteristics.
