I may have some unpublished production info these cars. If you can give me codes for the options, I can reference what I have.

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!

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 &quot;Moose Milk&quot;. 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&quot; 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.
