My Dad used to have a Flying A Gas Station back in the 60’s.
One of his Customers worked for Chrysler and pulled in one day driving the Turbine.
He took my Father for the ride of his life. LOL

Yeah, he talked about it for years. Loved that car.
He’s 93 now. I’ll have to ask him about it and see if he remembers any more details. It’s only been 50 Years.
Not sure if the guy let him drive it.

How was the turbine acceleration? Early jets were notorious for being slow to speed up (while landing) and slow to slow down (while fueling, while landing as well).

I’ll ask my Dad if he remembers.
At 93 he isn’t as sharp as he used to be but he remembers some pretty bizarre things that I have long ago forgotten...

IIRC, they had to mate it with an automatic trans due to the slow spinup. Read some R&T reviews when I was a kid, bit do not recall much other than the turbine was slow to spool and needed the auto.
Had one pull up next to us parking for mass at Loyola university. Clearly heard the turbine wind down. Very quiet.

I had a barn-find 1970 440 Six Barrel four speed GTX with an Air-Grabber Hood in 1991 that I found here in Charlevoix County where it had been stashed away for 15 years. It had the strange colors combination of being Hemi Orange with a white interior and a black vinyl top. I posted the story on the web site Cars in barns.com and it was up there for a few years. However, I didn’t have the space to restore it back to original as I wanted it but i sold it about five years later. Oh well...

I have a cousin in BC who would probably remember that car since at that time he had a highly modified '67 Z-28 Camaro that he would occasionally run at Northern Michigan Dragway...
Lots of guys up there at that time had souped up cars and they all knew each other............My cousin is still involved in drag racing and has I think a Dodge Ram pickup that he occasionally races just for recreation.

I love the classics but I enjoy my 2016 Mustang. Performance and comfort way above the old muscle cars.
