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.

That car has floated around for a few years. The cowl tag and very likely the VIN tag were removed from another car and riveted to this one. My opinion is that the owner should cut his losses and sell it as a parts car. 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.

They are the same size but the Jetfire used an aluminized coated valve and the f-85 and Cutlass did not. If you are replacing the valves it don’t matter because most all the new valves are superior to the Jetfire or f-85 valves.

I have everything needed but I am really far away. Shipping would be killer because it is all heavy.

Parts you have to have are….
Shaft in steering column and rag joint
steering box
pump and brackets
pitman arm

The outer steering arms that bolt to the spindles and the outer tie rod ends are specific part numbers to power steering but I have…[Read more]

Thanks. I hate to say it but I don’t check in here very often any more. I have sadly joined the masses and mostly on the Facebook group. It is a very active group there.

This trip was an incredible trip for the entire family. He called me about 2 weeks after the Olds Nationals.

Looks like your car Jim

That is a vinyl top. The A pillars have the stainless on them. The A pillars would be white also if it were painted.

I don’t know anything about the car but would really like a picture of the cowl tag. It is a rough car and you wouldn’t want to pay much for it. From those two pictures I would not give more than $2000 for it. Maybe $2500 because of getting the 4 speed parts but nothing more than that. Hard to say why it was parked but there is a really good…[Read more]

Get lots of pictures. Also one of the cowl tag. Looks like a project. I assume the interior needs redone also? You will have to get it at a really good price because it is really easy to get upside down in one really quick. With it being a 4 speed, it will raise the price some even in that condition. Keep us posted and good luck! I would love to…[Read more]

You say it is registered here? What car is it? Have you seen the car in person yet? The reason I ask is that the 4 speeds are very rare and just be sure that it is not a scam where someone got pictures off the net and made a fake listing. This is happening a lot right now.

That is a loaded question without lots of pictures. Are you sure it is a factory 4 speed car? You have to consider it as not running and turbo system needing rebuilt and the fact that there are no floor pans available…. Also rust is always worse than it first looks. Without detailed pictures and more information it could be between $2000 and…[Read more]

Thanks guys. We had a great time there. I am not very good in front of a camera and very glad Felix was there with me. Both of Felix’s cars and mine got 1st place in the points judging and then our 4 speed car got BOC. They also give our car the best post war car of the show. That totally took me by surprise and completely unexpected.

I have some interior trim but if he is looking for the front windshield trim for the glue in windshield I am out of those.

Looks like I have 12 good ones and another one that will work but not as good.

Sorry, I had completely forgot about this. I will try to remember toy get some for you. I have another parts car with some in it and not sure how good they are. Shoot me an email to remind me if you don’t her back tonight.

Jim, The 63 trunk emblems area a rectangle style barrel clip. I have not found these yet.

The E I have is missing a stud and the chrome is dull on both of them. For some reason I can’t post pictures here any more but if I can get an email address I could send you pictures. I have not found the clips yet but I know I have some

I will look for them tonight. I have just a few of those clips but not sure how many. I am not aware of them being reproduced but not sure. Sandy looked and couldn’t find them a while back. Hoping that not all of them are bad that you have. On similar emblems I have used 3M clear emblem adhesive on the little studs when I install them and it holds…[Read more]

Some 63’s were black and some were body color under the hood. Not sure what determined the difference? Maybe a mid year change? I believe it was just the typical chassis black they used for years. More of a satin finish. I have some extra trunk letters but not sure how nice they are. If you find you need them let me know and I will look for them.…[Read more]

Here is another video from last weekend when I started it up and broke in the cam. This weekend I have both front fenders and front bumper on. Most of the front end is together. I will try to post pictures again but it has not worked for a few weeks for me.
