Thanks Jensen. I have a ’63 that’s missing the engine. I may know where some parts to it are, but will probably be listing it for sale here soon.
Thank you, though!

Do you have a Jetfire or looking at one? If you are looking for a Jetfire engine to put in a car with a missing engine there are some out there. I have a 62 Jetfire engine in Indiana available.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your help.

Has some great parts but not sure how legal the car will be to title in different states when the title says it is a hardtop.

For 1964, Olds offered the F85, F85 Deluxe, Cutlass, and 442 in the A-body line and the Jetstar 88, Dynamic 88, Super 88, Jetstar I, and Starfire in the…[Read more]

631 is also for Jetfire. 636 is Starfire full size car. Later, Olds made a Jetstar and Jetstar II.
So Jet, Star, Fire, we’re all used in different orders at one time or another.
The engine in later F85s and Cutlass was called Jetfire on the air cleaner just to confuse things more.

Thanks Joe. Good news!

All Jetfires came from the factory with a turbo. Many were replaced with a 4bbl setup when problems arose.
