Value of 1964 olds cornet
It’s not clear if there is physical proof though some paperwork of some sort is provided. The seller claims that “ it has been confirmed by the General Motors Heritage Center as having come from the factory with the new 1965 only 315 hp UG code high-performance engine before it was available to the general public for the 1965 model year“. The seller claims that this Jetstar 88 is a late ’64 build and was the benefactor of this nascent engine option as opposed to the 1964 290 HP “TG” engine.
It is allegedly a 315 HP, 330 CI “UG” code engine that wasn’t introduced until the ’65 model year. The listing for this car stresses a single item and that’s the engine. As with Pontiac, full-size cars were still where the action was at Oldsmobile though the newly redesigned F85 intermediate was also available. Oldsmobile had multiple models and trim levels available in ’64 starting with the top of the line Ninety-Eight, and then moving downwards with the Starfire, Super 88, Dynamic 88, Jetstar I, and Jetstar 88, such as our subject car. It is located in Zebulon, North Carolina and is available, here on Autotrader via the Raleigh Classic Car Auction that will be held on April 30th and May 1st. Unlike yesterday’s Pontiac, this Olds is in fantastic shape so let’s check it out. There were similarities but notable differences too. In the ’60s, and for a good number of years afterward, a Pontiac was a Pontiac and an Oldsmobile was an Oldsmobile. Today we’re going to kick it up a notch and check out a similar car from Oldsmobile in the form of a 1964 Jetstar 88.
