jensenracing77 started the topic 2023 OCA Nationals Dayton Ohio August 9-12 in the forum Discussion Topics – Ask the Experts 7 months, 1 week ago
Just a reminder that the OCA Nationals are in Dayton Ohio this year. August 9-12. There will be a minimum of 5 Jetfire there and several more likely to be there. Would love to see a large turnout of all our 61-63 cars. The 3000 mile 1963 Jetfire is likely to be there as well.

I almost never come here any more. The Facebook group is pretty active. You can actually start a Facebook and not accept any friends of any kind and only join the 61-63 group. The only thing you will see if our stuff and nothing else. There are three of us that are administrators and keep it specific to our cars. It is a really good group.

jensenracing77 replied to the topic New to me '63 Jetfire in the forum Discussion Topics – Ask the Experts 1 year, 3 months ago
Welcome! I am not on here as much as I use to be. Yes, that car has went through a few hands but some of those hands made nice refinements to it. I was supposed to go look at it at Mecum Indy a few years back for some people interested in it but the virus moved the date to when I was on a family vacation.
I am only guessing but I suspect it is…[Read more]

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.

jensenracing77 replied to the topic F85 listed for sale in the forum Discussion Topics – Ask the Experts 1 year, 5 months ago
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.

jensenracing77 replied to the topic Jetfire valve sizes in the forum Discussion Topics – Ask the Experts 1 year, 6 months ago
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.

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.

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

jensenracing77 replied to the topic 1962 Jetfire 4 speed car value (can someone help value car) in the forum Discussion Topics – Ask the Experts 2 years, 1 month ago
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]

jensenracing77 replied to the topic 1962 Jetfire 4 speed car value (can someone help value car) in the forum Discussion Topics – Ask the Experts 2 years, 1 month ago
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.

jensenracing77 replied to the topic 1962 Jetfire 4 speed car value (can someone help value car) in the forum Discussion Topics – Ask the Experts 2 years, 1 month ago
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.
