It was  the first SUCCESSFUL production turbo.  The Olds Jetfire came off
the line about a month earlier, but was a dismal failure, with GM
eventually offering the replace the troublesome turbo with a  V8.

Actually the Jetfires were already a V8. They just put a 4-barrel on  in
place of the turbo set-up, If the customer demanded it. (So I have heard) -
