2 different Jetstars for that year, each had their own standard engine!

If you bought a Jetstar 88 new in 1965, the engine would have been the 330 V-8 (also introduced in 1964) and the 2-speed Jetaway automatic. No other engine or automatic transmission options were available.
As noted, the Jetstar I was an altogether different story. It was supposed to be a low-end version of the Starfire (at least, I have always looked at it that way), and, for 1965, it did come with the 425 and three-speed automatic. While the Jetstar 88 lasted three model years ('64 through '66), the Jetstar I was made for only '64 and '65.

Not quite true. The "Jetaway" name was resurrected in 1964 and put into F-85/Cutlasses and the new Jetstar 88. It was a two-speed automatic transmission and was used on the Jetstar 88 through its last year of 1966 and the Cutlass lines through, I believe, 1967. It is not related to the Chevy Powerglide. The only thing the two transmissions have in common is that they're both two speeds.

I would also suggest if you are going to Wild About Cars that you check out the 1965 Large Car Brochures, which you can see/download if you sign up. The 1965 is at http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-b...=9950335326553 and the 1964 is at http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-b...=9960335326553 they will give you the rundown and distinction on the Jetstar 88 and the Jetstar I

As to the trans, it was developed by Buick/Olds as an inexpensive alternative to the Hydramatic/Dynaflow/Turbo 400
