1963 Olds Jetfire
I just noticed that a 1963 Olds Jetfire crossed the block at Mecum in Indy. Buyer paid $50k for the car plus a 10% commission for a total of $55k.
What does anyone think of the quality of the car and its hammered price? I have one and am just trying to get a feeling of current value. Rick

IMO - it's a really nice car:

----Loved that Jetfire! Quality was terrific on what I was told was an older resto. The 4-speeds are extremely rare, and I would think maybe $10,000 stronger than an automatic equal......Bill S

That Mecum car was a modified car with 15" 5 lug and disc brake conversion, bidders probably did not know that since not a lot of people know about these cars.
In 1963: 4406 automatics, 1391 4 speeds, 45 3 speeds. People are dragging these out of swamps now but the critical turbo components to rebuild the turbos has run out, so unless you already have a restored turbo on hand, you are not going to be able to restore a Jetfire. Rick, your Jetfire is one of the best (I should know!). Try it at auction, it should do well.

Yeah, my car is pretty damn perfect and well documented and nicely restored. I'm still enjoying it and simply would like to know what I should insure it for?!
FYI: My car is a consistent winner at most local car shows. People are most impressed with the engine and provenance! Rick
