1962 Jetfire $3500

This 62 Jetfire sat it an eastern Washington field since 1989 . The body is straight/original, and I think I have almost every original part as pictured. There is rust in the floor boards as well as one corner of the trunk, but the rest looks surprisingly solid. The Turbo has long been removed and replaced with the 4 barrel intake and GM Rochester 4 barrel (not sure if this was a dealer swap or not?). The motor (code below) turns over, and I actually ran it (after oil bathing the pistons) for a few seconds. One of the cylinders (#2) has no compression unless oil is added, and I believe it is due to stuck rings, which may loosen up with more soaking and longer run time. I am not sure of the tranny condition, but it did pump fluid all over my garage floor during my short run as the radiator cooling lines were disconnected (nice planning on my part). I also have the original Turbo exhaust manifolds, extra heads, intake and various other parts. I am including several pictures below. This was going to be my retirement project, but plans have changed. Let me know if you have interest. Car is located in Washington State and is titled.Engine Code: HI254308

That car is originally from Chicago. The trunk badge is worth something to fans of that dealer, I have a car from the same place.
