Thanks again Rocketraider, paint tab was right where you said, i really appreciate all the help you've been,,, I think it's a good looking car too!, I've never seen a back window like the one in the J-1, it curves plus it looks like it's concave, really like that look,,i bet it's a hard window to find if i were ever to need another one,,,,, thanks again and happy holidays........ johnnie

Hi, anybody know where i can find the paint and trim plate on my '64 Jetstar? the vin plate is where it should be,,, nothing on the firewall,,,,, thanks for your help......... johnnie

Thanks again Rocketraider for your help,, i'm sure you'll be hearing from me again,, johnnie

Thanks for the heads up on the resonators, i'm going to print out your post and take it with me,,, the mufflers in the back are pretty much shot, and the right side pipe was ripped out of the manifold during shipment,it looks pretty well rusty,, i'll know more when we get it on the lift,,, thanks again for you advice, it's greatly appreciated,,,, a little off the subject but i just spent all 4 days over the turkey rod run in daytona, on fri. and sat. there were 10,000 cars, i walked the show for 4 hours both days and didn't see one J-1,, are they a scarce car?, or is it nobody wants them?,,,,,,,, thanks again.... johnnie

Thanks Rocketraider, i need to run it awhile to see if it pings or not, haven't got it on the road yet, waiting on an insurance card,, and i've been told by others about the octane issue, i guess I will be making potions up too at the gas pump,,,, it smokes a little, i'll see if that gets any better after it's on the road,, most likely will need valve seals like you said,,, also need to put exaust on it, both sides, still has the original,,, thanks for the advice, i will be back....... john Habecker

Should I add a lead additive to the fuel for my '64 Olds?, the engine is a 394ci., i know in '64 they had leaded fuel, I run lead in my '40 chevy, seems to run fine,,, talking to guys in the club, some say do add lead some say don't, and others say it doesn't matter??,, anyone's opinion on this would greatly appreciated,,,,,,,, thanks........ johnnie

The '64 jetstar arrived Dec.1, what a beauty, there aren't many options, PS, PB, it's white with blue interior,, boy it rides like a boat, you can see a picture at johnnie276 pics. , at the bottom of that page are a couple of pics.,, This is my first Olds', and i love it!, it's a 394ci. with 345hp,,,,,,,,,,,, johnnie

I haven't seen the car yet, the car belongs to a friends sister, my friend is going to get it over Thanksgiving, her sister is the original owner of the car, i think it's blue, don't know what options are on it,,I will know more about it by next weekend,, i'll post back,,,,, was 16,084 a low or normal production number for Olds??,,, thanks again for your time........ johnnie:-)

I've found a '64 jetstar 1 with only 39K miles on it, excellent interior, and the body is in great shape, it's been coved up in a barn for years,, the owner had driven it just 2 months ago,,, i've been told it's kind of rare?, is it? and is it worth $4500,,, any info on this car would be greatly appreciated, i've never seen or heard anything about the jetstar 1,,,,,, thanks for your time, johnnie
