ACC 631 (this is the number I need decoded) </div></div> I have a few old lists of the pre '63 Accessory Codes and will take a look. 600 range codes for '62 were sometimes for trans and rear axles but being an Oldsie I'd guess it refers to your seat config. buckets and/or console? Very cool car! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] ~ Pete

I do know that the buckets and console were standard on the Jetfire. It was a top-line car, above the Cutlass. Also was the only available hardtop model. The F85 and Cutlass were Post cars. No covertable Jetfires. Oldsmobile used a Cutlass convertable body and welded a Buick hardtop to it.
I'm guessing the 631 refers to the A/C and/or power windows.

----I owned a low mileage 63 Jetfire a long time ago. Guys that knew anything about them (few and far between) called the methanol mix "Moose Milk". I didnt keep the little bugger long as it only had about 7000 original miles on it and someone offered me way more for it than I paid. It was a really nice little car and always turned heads......Bill S

Got the Turbo Rocket running this weekend. I am amazed at the power, especially on the top end! I am sure this would beat many stock small block muscle cars. And this car is LOW. The top of the body above the door handle is 34" above the ground. Only 2750 lbs also. Is this an early Muscle Car?

Bill--I remember that car. You brought it to the JNS restaurant one morning when we used to stop there for coffee. |
