can anyone tell me the approximate value of a low mile 65 jetsar big block 3 deuce 4 speed convertible /rust free . mint shape .

 

So before all the other guys who really know what they're talking about say it, post whatever pictures you have as this will help them in giving you a good/better answer.

 

Based on the info you've provided, somewhere between scrap value and a million bucks. Sorry, but without photos and more info, it is impossible to provide a useful answer.

 

Go here and let them give you a price/ guess.... Tedd http://www.collectorcarmarket.com/co...-88-value.html

 

It's worth whatever the next guy is willing to pay for it. Sounds like a cool car.

 

So it must not be a Jetstar I because a convert was not made in that model in 1965, The Jetstar came with the 330 so if its a BB with Tri-Carbs someone swapped that in.

 

1965 JetStar 4spd convert , factory car . known the car for 20 years .

 

But we haven't, so unless you can provide photos and more details, you won't get a useful answer.

 

I don't have photos . take ANY 65 JetStar convertible with a big block and a 4 speed that has 45xxx miles on it , no rust no dents .blue w black int .
and put a guestimate on it ?

 

Your car is not original, it has been modified. One more time: Olds did not build a 1965 Jetstar 88 convertible with a big block; the 330 was the only motor offered in that car for that year. Since we know the car has been modified, we have no idea how original it is, how well (or poorly) the work was done, or if the car was even a manual trans car originally. Photos, the VIN, and the cowl tag would go a long way towards providing more info. If you can't be bothered to provide more info, don't expect people to help.

 

HI, I would like for someone knowledgeable to talk with me about a 1965 BIG BLOCK 3 deuce 4 spd convertible . it may be a 1 or 2 of a kind car . who would know what I have access to here . One gentleman says it doesn't exist . i'm telling you it does . I DON"T have pics nor would need them to find out how many of these were produced . SOMEONE in here knows something … I am interested in purchasing this car , I do not own it . this padavano guy isn't being professional here can someone else help me ? Thank you. Doug

 

They say pictures r worth 1000 words, we need them. For sure there was NOT a 65 Jetstar I produced as a convert. They did make the Jetstar 88 convert with 4spd but it would have a 330 small block. There were no 3 2bbls in 65, so it would appear someone swapped the BB and 3 2bbls at some point... The Jetstar would have a 4 3/4 wheel bolt pattern while the star I a 5 inch bolt pattern. Don't fall for peoples stories of 1 of a kind factory builds car hype.

 

So what do you want pictures of ?

 

We know with certainty that there were exactly ZERO Jetstar I convertibles built every, and exactly ZERO Jetstar 88 convertibles built with a big block in the 1965 model year. There were 2,879 J88 convertibles built that year and every single one of them came from the factory with a 330 motor. There were three versions of the 330 available in the 1965 model year in that car, the base 330 2bbl high compression motor, the optional L65 2bbl low compression motor, and the optional L74 high compression 4bbl motor. Apparently you don't want to hear that answer and will continue to ask the same question over and over again. I'm sure if you ask this on FB or a similar site, someone WILL give you an answer you want to hear. Good luck with that.

 

o what do you want pics of ? i'm going there this evening ?

 

Engine compartment front grill, hood sides of car rear of car. Glovebox door and interior.

 

VIN tag
Cowl tag
Engine (several, from different angles)
Interior
Bottoms of front and rear fenders behind the wheels
Overall shots of the car
Clutch and brake pedals

 

Perfect...

 

I should add that the engine photos need to include a picture of the block casting number (above the water pump) and the cylinder head casting letter (next to the #1 spark plug). Examples of these numbers shown here:

 

Joe P. is probably the most knowledgeable person on this site. You can ask this question a 1000 more times but your not going to get the answer you want to hear. Post the pictures of the areas asked and you can get some realistic opinions on value.

 

EXACTLY. Douglas, you need to listen to voices of reason here, like Oldscutlass and Joe P. For God's sake, man... you've elicited responses from a few guys with 10's of THOUSANDS of posts on a site that, if you looked around at the content, you'd quickly discover is filled with some EXTREMELY knowledgeable people. Joe P responds the way he does because he's being as direct and concise as possible. You're not going to get better answers from anyone else.

The only way to confirm a 1 of 1 car is with bulletproof provenance. Just because the owner says it was born with something doesn't make it true. Now, if there was legitimate documentation from Oldsmobile, GM, the Heritage Center, historical magazine articles, etc, then you'd really have something. But right now, you've got the same question posted 6 times, and keep deflecting and outright avoiding the answers, questions, and suggestions you have received in response.

Overs on the Facesbooks, theys calls yous a trolls.

Here on ClassicOldsmobile.com, we think you're a dealer / flipper that is dishonest, deceiving, or just plain unknowledgeable and unwilling to listen.

 

Thought I was going to help by being the first one to say post pictures way back at post 2

Joe P doesn't make mistakes. He thought he did once but he was wrong.

 

My ex-wives would beg to differ.

 

The “ Padavano Guy” is an encyclopedia of Oldsmobile knowledge, he knows whats up, the dude eats, breaths,sleeps and ***** oldsmobile..if he says no..it NO..TAKE IT TO THE BANK.

 

So no update?

 

I think they only made one, so if you can pick this thing up for a song and a dance you can turn around and sell it for millions, you lucky dog!
