You might just be looking at the least expensiveand#44; coolestand#44; and easiest way to get attention at the survivor shows. This 1966 Oldsmobile Jetstar is the kind of car we dont see too often anymoreand#44; so for it to be this unmolested and have under 20K miles is a value-priced miracle. Theres actually a good reason you dont see too many of these anymore. Oldsmobile only made 13and#44;734 Jetstar sedans in 1966. Now subtract all the ones that were used up as family haulers and salesman callersand#44; and you can see that any complete Jetstar is a rare sight today – let alone something one this amazingly well preserved. But more than just rareand#44; this is a beautiful full-sized sedan. Oldsmobile promised more than just the common car and you can see it in the lines on this one. The wraparound chrome bumpers that cleanly integrate into the extra wide front and rear panels; the intricate full wheel covers; and sheetmetal that has a sporty kick-up integrated into the rear door. This is 60s styling at its best. Thats what a complete and survivor-grade car like this is all about. And yesand#44; thats original Ocean Mist factory paint. It seems to tell a story more about the cars ultra low mileage than this classics age. The two-tone blue vinyl and cloth interior is the kind of pattern that you only get to see once – when its original. The vinyl backingand#44; door panelsand#44; carpetsand#44; and especially the dash are a marvel at how well they present today. Some of the seat inserts have not held up quite as well as the sheetmetal over the yearsand#44; but thats actually one way people instantly can tell that its a true survivor. Youll love getting behind the original steering wheel and looking at the full gauge packageand#44; including the speedometer set in the deep V and a winding clock that actually works! Pop the hood and see that great golden block radiating from inside the engine bay. The 330 cubic-inch Rocket V8 shows all signs of being originaland#44; and after alland#44; who would have messed with a car thats already so authentic? A car like this with such low mileage often can make people weary that there might be a problem in the engine bayand#44; but instead we only have good news. The V8 reliability fires up like one of our best classics in the showroom. Its a testament to the engineers at Olds who back then has the freedom and pride to create a unique and smooth powerplant. Add in the automatic transmissionand#44; power steeringand#44; and a new set of tiresand#44; and youre turnkey ready to take this to the survivor show this weekend. This is such a cool and rare car with such impossibly low mileage. Sureand#44; its a great base for an affordable and interesting restorationand#44; but this classic Olds is already a landmark car the way it sits today.
