BARN FIND Olds Jetfire Rescued after 50 years in barn!

[@rickgolden2396]

We had one my senior year in school. My Dad bought a '62 F85 and swapped it a week later for the Jet Fire. We drove it from Alabama to LA in August that year, passing over heated Caddys. The boost kicked in on steep hills without down shifts. The heavy duty cross flow radiator worked great in the 120F weather. It was a great car!

[@AutoArchaeology]

That's pretty awesome

[@gordonborsboom7460]

First Jay Leno now Auto Archaeology. Olds love today

[@AutoArchaeology]

Well we try!

[@timothyballinger6280]

What a rare survivor! Great find! Now that's a awesome, awesome car. Would love to see this car come back to life and back on the road.

[@AutoArchaeology]

It is back on the road! I have no idea where, but you can see it at the end of the video all nice

[@BuzzLOLOL]

'62 Jetfire was my daily driver back in the day...

[@bear1245]

Nice to see original & not messed with

[@dennisprince8245]

That is truly a beautiful find and now fantastic it looks after a little work. !

[@MrModelworx]

Man that's so rare, great video and what a find.

[@radioguy1620]

As a ten year old kid I actually had the privilege of riding in one and heard a funny squealing sound from the back tires when my Dad's buddy took us kids out for pizza after a game, it was brand new !

[@BuzzLOLOL]

'62 Jetfire was my daily driver back in the day...

[@timothycannon7590]

I wish more people would save the older cars. ❤️❤️❤️

[@simeonorive145]

They are now. Always have been,but now seems like anything 30 plus years old is worth restoring. Its awesome.

[@jakespeed63]

Holy Crap!!! Can’t believe they are still out there Watched the Jay Leno video Sunday Super Cool owner. God Bless him for saving these cars from some rich bastard that only flips it at Barret Jackson I’m a longtime ‘64 Olds guy, but wish I would have bought one of these in the 80’s Thanks for sharing

[@AutoArchaeology]

Yup! We try.

[@The_Performance_Laboratory]

Amazing that stuff like that still exists to be found.

[@leewalker3514]

I’m glad he’s keeping it original

[@davebarron5939]

Slick, congrats on being involved.

[@markbattista6857]

I can only say FANTASTIC , great job.

[@keithhebert9334]

[@AutoArchaeology]

That's the plan!

[@kristoffermangila]

Porsche 911 Turbo, Nissan Skyline GT-R, and all other turbo cars: Thank you Oldsmobile Jetfire, you blazed our way! Oldsmobile Jetfire: (tries not to cry).

[@shawnathon60]

I usually say,, pretty cool,,.. pulling that through the bushes,,, GREAT recovery!

[@AutoArchaeology]

Thankfully it was legit just weeds, nothing hard to pull through!

[@naoufelkourdellah3704]

Very rare and BEAUTYFUL American Dream Car. Those Spacechips made for Gentlemen Drivers.

[@WolfmanRay87]

That's a cool Oldsmobile.

[@davidwellman7080]

My dad had one 330 ultra compression 4 speed 4bbl when I was a kid. Or a 64, anyway I loved that car!! It was black with red interior that's why I fell in love with Olds.

[@AutoArchaeology]

That's cool!

[@BuzzLOLOL]

Had to be a '64 Cutlass... not Jetfire... totally different car...

[@baja9326]

Oh my thats super cool, being an Oldsmobile guy myself this would be better than hitting the lotto. This car is one year younger then me.

[@AutoArchaeology]

That's cool!

[@ololiver92]

Jay Leno sent us here

[@AutoArchaeology]

Thank you for coming!

[@Mercmad]

I love those BOP V8's! .I have one in my VW type 3 which has been under flood water here in Australia since last Friday night 😪😪 Jay Whatsisname had one on his channel last week .

[@AutoArchaeology]

Oh no! Stay safe over there!

[@bonniewalker9421]

My mother had a beautiful Cobalt Blue Starfire. It shined like the midnight sky 💫with twinkling ✨ stars🌟.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool!!!

[@jackbart1960]

Wow! Just saw Jay's video pretty neato!

[@srercrcr]

The '63 rear is much-improved!!

[@ruthbarillas3259]

Que bonito vehicle y sustentables.

[@BillyWilliams-d2e]

Hey guy's I am looking for a 1962 jetfire. I have the turbocharged engine, need the car

[@ryand.8176]

Very cool!✊

[@davidleland8729]

My first car was one of those. Same colors and everything. That was back in 1975.

[@AutoArchaeology]

Cool!

[@davidleland8729]

@@AutoArchaeology Yeah, the kick in the head is I paid $350.00 for it. It was a great car!

[@johntona3829]

Thats really cool

[@bengone3349]

Interesting find of a rare car. Please purchase a tripod or something so the videos are not shaking around at times.

[@AutoArchaeology]

This is an old video, I have a gimbal now

[@wildcatnation3101]

I will be restoring my grandfathers!

[@AutoArchaeology]

Awesome!

[@markbehr88]

Very cool

[@60andmortgagefree8]

Am I the first to mention the used cars window stickers that don't look like 1971?

[@oldsjetfire8975]

The guys son said he got that car a long time ago and those stickers were on the window. He pulled them off and stuck them on the inside of the Jetfire glass. I still have those stickers on my cabinet in the garage.

[@roysmemorylane]

Cool!!!

[@JEDIMasterVanDer]

Dude! How do you keep finding these things? I'm asking you nicely...

[@AutoArchaeology]

I just talk to people. Nothing crazy

[@francislawlor4123]

That's not your father's Oldsmobile! 😊❤👍🚗🪣🧽🇺🇲

[@jpalberthoward9]

Wow! What a great car! Please don't make it into a dragster or a low rider. My guess is.... Slam dunk quick and dirty flip.

[@oldsjetfire8975]

Wasn't quick. Had to change the cam and lifters. Pulled all the interior out to clean it and air it all out. Was a lot of work but worth it to make another one road worthy again. The car is located in Florida now and likely to get a full restoration in the future.

[@robertphillips6296]

Jay Leno did an Excellent Video on his KZbin channel of the 1962 Oldsmobile Jetfire.

[@AutoArchaeology]

Yup! That's in the other video

[@gideondingle9363]

I wonder how many miles R on that car.

[@nw9120]

Nice

[@gersonhay984]

cool.

[@TestaFranco]

02:45 You said that it might have been in the barn since 1971 but I dont think that stickers/plotters from the window can be that old.

[@AutoArchaeology]

We went through the history and it is correct, it was put away in 71. Not in that exact barn, but it was parked in 71.

[@AutoArchaeology]

And those big stickers was for the sons used car business. He just stuck them on there.

[@kyrujames]

Very cool, maybe pick up an iphone or something, this looks like an ultra old gopro quality lol

[@AutoArchaeology]

The video is from a few years ago

[@Wixom2200]

My neighbor has a similar car. It's not the same car though. There worth nothing he told me years ago, when I asked about his. Worth about 3000 in good condition

[@corydriver7634]

Why did you say it was sitting in the barn since ‘71 when the old dude said ‘78?

[@jeffsonnefield6199]

I believe the license plate was 1971.

[@AutoArchaeology]

We found out later it was sitting since 71. He had moved it once in 78

[@mikekirkpatrick293]

Like a baby being born

[@mlor8005]

How much he sell the car for

[@AutoArchaeology]

I have no idea, you can ask on his page.

[@woodchucksgarage1517]

Back when I was 16 & spongebobin @ my first job at BK **aka the former burger chef.... remember those ?? Some strange women approached me about buying a car she had...& I was envisioning this.... Nope ..it was another incarnation in the form of a hatchback...think Vega/Monza...sad.. just like they destroyed the Nova plate and now a Blazer is just a crossover car.....sigh...
