The Ladies Dig Turbo Rocket Fluid: 1962 Oldsmobile Jetfire [Classic Ad Watch]

The 1962 Olds Jetfire was the first American production car to get a turbocharged V8, and it produced 215 horsepower out of its 215-cubic-inch aluminum V8 (yes, the same engine family that became the Rover V8). Here we see an Olds-drivin' stud getting his lady friend in the mood by stomping on the go pedal and sending the boost gauge into happy territory. Just don't run out of "Turbo Rocket Fluid," which later generations came to know as "water and methanol." Thanks to SOS10 for the tip!

Backyard Lambo Of The Day: The Missouri Olds Toronado-fied Countach [Backyard Lambo Of The Day]

Nobody seems sick of this series after one repetition, so we're back for more homebuilt Lamborghini glory today! What we've got here is not a Fieroborghini; much like the Indiana Turbo Buick Countach, this Fauxborghini is based on a tube-frame chassis. The best part? The powerplant: a torque-brute 425 engine and front-wheel-drive transaxle from a 1960s Oldsmobile Toronado, installed amidships just like a real Lambo! Unlike a real Lambo, it's a 3-speed automatic, but gear selection is pretty much irrelevant with an Olds big-block. Sure, maybe the handling and braking isn't up to Lamborghini standards, but acceleration and top speed should be outstanding, what with 360 (or more) Olds ponies behind you.
