Have you ever wanted to cruise down Broadway Boulevard sounding like an F-16 taking off from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base? Look no further.
Up for grabs is one of the ultimate holy grails of American automotive history: a 1963 Chrysler Turbine Car. Finished in its iconic metallic bronze paint with a black vinyl roof, this masterpiece of jet-age styling features turbine-blade hubcaps and those unhinged, chrome-bezeled rear exhaust pods that make standard mufflers look like tin cans.
Under the hood sits Chrysler’s fourth-generation gas turbine engine, which idles at a smooth 22,000 RPM and redlines around 44,600 RPM. The best part? It has zero octane requirements. You don't even need to stop at a gas station. It will run on jet fuel, diesel, kerosene, tequila, leftover fryer grease from Eegee’s, or cheap perfume. If it's a combustible liquid, this car will burn it and turn it into thrust.
HIGHLIGHTS & SPECS:
-
Jet-Age Tailgate: The rear end features dual turbine-intake-style housing pods complete with air filters mounted directly inside the chrome nacelles. You will instantly win every single local car show in Southern Arizona.
-
Interior: Pure 1960s space-race luxury with a full-length center console styled to look like an actual jet engine shaft.
-
Desert Advantage: Instant cabin heat in winter. In summer, you will melt the bumper of any tailgate enthusiast behind you at a red light on Grant Road.
-
Exclusivity: Only 55 of these prototypes were ever built by Ghia, and almost all of them were crushed by Chrysler. This is one of the vanishingly few survivors in working condition.
Serious inquiries only. No test pilots without proof of funds. Cash, bank wire, or high-value Tucson real estate trades considered.
