I will be at $14,000 on the car. With it being a factory 4 speed car with the Protect O Plates to prove it, and also being all original critical parts, I feel like it should be worth that. People that convert automatics to 4 speed have a lot invested into the swap so being an original 4 speed fixes that problem.

Yes, the Holiday red and white…[Read more]

I started cleaning the body up. I only worked on the fender but I think it will look much better than I expected. It will still need a full restoration to ever be a show car but for a mostly original paint car it will be ok. Looks like the passenger side front fender and door has been repainted before. The hood, trunk lid and roof have lots of…[Read more]

Just got home from MCACN. Had a wonderful time but crazy tired. When I got to my home town I got a little energy and decided to stop at the car wash and pressure wash the car. It cleaned a little better than I thought it would. I dropped it off at work and set fans around it to get it dried out before I bring it home. I may leave it and work on it…[Read more]

I am pooped. Been on my feet all day telling the same story over and over again, lol. I really enjoy being able to share info on these cars to so many people that never even knew they were made. I am also encouraged that so many younger people in their 20’s are interested in what they are. I have had many young guys ask questions in a way that I…[Read more]

I just found out about it a couple months back. It is at the very bottom of the page.

Loaded up and ready for MCACN. I will post a couple pictures from there. We set up on Friday.

I completely forgot about this. Here are some pictures of the one I have. It has a little spot on the front corner that is rough but for the most part is really solid. Looks more like something rubbed it than rusted out.

I fell like you got a great deal on it. If it were closer or better timing I would have bought it myself. I had already talked my wife into buying it after the 4 seed car sells if the guy still had it at that time. I am sure glad to see another one show up.

Great! The price sure looked right for what is there.

With the restoration of this car on hold from my body guys shop burring down, I have adjusted some of the plans. I built this turbo setup to use temporarily on this car. I took it for a drive tonight and it works very well! I was also testing some thicker fluid metering diaphragms and as I suspected, those will not work. Just not flexible enough…[Read more]

I have a tray but need to check and see what condition it is in. I believe it is still nice and solid. I will look when I get home from work

I did not word that well. Both of our 62 automatic Jetfire and the one on our 62 4 speed Jetfire and the one I pulled from a 61 Buick Special are all 4 the same. I will have to look at the 63 Jetfire but I believe it is also the same. I have a 62 and a 63 Cutlass and both of them are the other style like you are saying.

Got the generator and fan on. All I need are plug wires. I may put a Turbo Rocket Fluid filter on it. I would still like to put a tank on it but don’t have time to make a bracket to hold it on.

Do you think you will make it to the Homecoming show in Lansing next June?

The style on my Jetfire I also pulled from a 61 Buick special.

What style do you have? I think I have a good used one of each style.

Typical Inline tube service. I am thinking about sending The Right Stuff my fuel lines and see if they would be willing to make them.

I sure hope someone will restore it. If it waas close to me I would already own it.

I don’t plan on a power steering pump but I will put good plug wires on it and detail the coil better.

Well, the engine is nearly ready for the MCACN show. I decided to put it all the way together with the accessories. I have no junk plug wires that I can use. I am thinking I am going to have to buy a new set to put on it. I can always swap them out later when I get a junk set to use.

I also had a friend weld up a roll around stand for it. I just…[Read more]
