I don't think he's interested in another car. My mother gave him her 1965 Jetstar 1 when he turned 16 & got his license back in the 70's. All he did was put Daytona Sport 60's on the rear, a set of Cherry Bombs on the factory dual exhaust & played with the timing. That car ran like a scalded Dog ! He was beating a lot of Muscle cars with it & they couldn't believe it. I was with him one night (3 of us) & he out ran a 1967 442 3 times, before the 442 gave up. Not sure what the deal was with the 442... Long Story short, my brother bounced/wrapped the Jetstar 1 around 2 trees.(he claimed a Vega ran a stop sign) and he had it wide open at the time. 16 years old, of course that the only way to drive them at that age.... We didn't have the means to pull the engine... that sucked. I wanted it, but was too young. Anyway the guy we beat in the 67 442 ended up buying the engine from the junkyard & put in his 67 442.
He always wanted one after that, so I found this Jetstar 1 for him.

 

He just emailed me. He's asking $8,500. Well worth it, for a rust free car & everything included.
