Hello

I do not know if the car is imported from the new or used United States I will take photos tomorrow of the serial numbers my car is full level parts

I have watched those videos before. I even commented on one. I did not know the videos were from France till now. Do you know if this car was sold new in France? My records show that only 4 of the 62 Jetfire cars were exported when new. Would it be possible to get a picture of the cowl tag. It looks like this. It is great that you are restoring it…[Read more]

Welcome to the Jetfire forum. Would it be possible for you to post pictures of your car? We love pictures.

Hello macf85 and Jim Christmas would you have if not all I need to completely restore my turbo system I have the complete vehicle

Thanks for the translation MAC 85. No, I do not speak or read French.
I have not decided if I want to get involved with shipments outside the USA. Have already had one bad experience with customs! Completely trashed a turbo system, Must have been looking for some sort of contraband.

Don’t know this for sure but rather than mod your orig eng, why not go to a late Rover eng. Arguably a better eng overall with casting improvements, parts availability, modern injection system, factory larger displacement…Agin not positive but probably cheaper to do also. Those performance parts for the 215 are held very dear.

I’ll also suggest browsing the engine builds at britishV8.com. Lots of good info on the BOPR motors (that’s Buick-Olds-Pontiac-Rover).

Very nice! When you get a chance and if you don’t mind, we would love to see more pictures and maybe one of the cowl tag. We started a collection of cowl tag information. Jim Noel, here on this site, rebuilds the turbo, carburetor and fluid injection setups for these cars if you find you need that.

the car is a ’62. My father-in- law owns the car but I keep it for him and tinker with it here and there. His father actually bought it new. it is a hardtop, automatic and in really good shape. its major problem is that it is never driven, and since I got it moved to where I am now I can at least try to get it running smoothly and…[Read more]

I have enough material left that I may make another set just to put away. I am actually going to cut a couple wide strips and pinch between the tank and trunk pan also. Not original but it helps for sound deadening.

Awesome:and now you have ‘patterns’ for any other 62 owner that does not have any!

Dan LaGrou of D & D Fabrications has published information on beefing up a 215. Attached is a brief write up from his 2001 catalog. This catalog covers considerable information on component combinations to increase c.i.d.
