- I recently aquired this 1964 Oldsmobile Jet Star 1 on an online auction near Benson Minnesota. Being a 2 door hardtop with factory bucket seats and a console intrigued me to bid on this car. If you'd like to own this piece of American history, it can be yours for the low, low price of only $1,000! As always, thanks for watching!

It's a treat to see Mojo at work and learn from him. You're fortunate to have him there!
He really is the man!
Love mojo
Mojo; is that you? 🙂
Dude you are lucky to have him he good dude the two of you make cool team
Mojo Rising to the occasion!😆
That Mojo laugh was EXACTLY what I was hoping it would be, that guy's a real GEM.
He really is!
@@MortskeRepair save that Jetstar!!!!
Those cars are rare!!!!
That one is worth saving!!;
I think using the Snootch Rocket in the 56 is a GREAT idea, what the heck else good is the Rocket, honestly? Then at least all the work that went into that thing will pay off AND you'll have a super budget friendly 56 on the lot!! Sweet it's a win win!!
edit: as far as the JesStar (awesome back in it's day, I'm sure) Mortske as life goes, you WIN some and you LOSE all the rest!! At least you kinda got a video out of it..
Yeah, agree. Couldn't give less of a shit about either of those cars, but putting them together sounds worthwhile.
Happy Mortske Monday!
Mojo is a walking man of knowledge. ❤ I always tell people they should always listen to the older generations. They have been around for many years and have tons of knowledge just waiting to passed on to other people.
he sure is!
Greatly appreciate you beating yourself up with these will it run videos 😊 but it’s just as entertaining when you take us along for a day for a slice of life 👍 much respect ✊
That’s a VW Bug jack that was in the trunk 👍
@@tonygiraldes7848 Thanks for watching and for the info!
As soon as I saw the frame on the Vicky I was thinking about the Snootch rocket donor idea. Perfect use. Greta would be proud of you for recycling. 😂
Miss the Mortske Minute! Please if you can, add, return The Mortske Minute! Always enjoy automotive history.
Tks,
RustyFuryIII
one day we will!
I absolutely love 55-57 Victorias and really want to see you put that beauty back on the road.
What a shame it has so much rust. That would have been a cool classic of a car to bring back to life.
What a beauty! Man, I would have fallen for it as well, if only, if only…. Thanks, as usual, for sharing this with the TH-cam boys and girls from around the world and lift our spirits! Keep ‘em coming, greatly appreciated!
I think your on to something with the 56. I'd be down to see it back on the road. Great video need more people like you saving the old stuff from becoming a Pepsi can.
I like how you are putting more of these together and finishing things.
Thanks for sharing this “gem” - no loss because you had a day with your Dad doing stuff you both enjoy…that’s priceless…..as is Mr. Mo-Jo.
Man you deserve way more subscribers than what you have you’re a wealth of knowledge and people are really missing out!!!
thanks for the kind words!
2004 is the newest Oldsmobile you can get.
Best thing I've seen on the show yet! Pretty neat car.
Some you win some you loose , we have all done it when we all know better . Always entertaining and educational . Cheers Mortske👍
I’m so glad you pushed it to the curb, so many guys waste time and money on rotted out junk like that, hopefully someone can use some parts from it
Think you did the right thing setting this aside. Great parts car only. Thanks Mortske. 💯👍
Cool video.
You all have a good and smooth week Mortske…
Love an hugs to Duff 👍
One of the best things about going to sleep on Sunday night is knowing tomorrow is Mortske Monday.
Visions of Duff Dog doing zoomies and rides while Sir Thomas demonstrates the engineering workload his profession entails with the understated and deadpan humor of Alexander Woollcott sipping libations at the Algonquin Round Table. Bravo!
Love the Duff!
Sweet. My Moms first car was a 64 f85 Cutlass. Been looking for one near KY for a little bit. I'm a Fan of Olds, Pontiac and Buick.
Do you watch Tyler's forgotten car rescue channel on TH-cam?? I don't know if he still has it but he had a very I believe a 63 lower mileage because it was wrecked when it was a practically new car and garage and parked,he acquired a different doghouse for it it I believe is a dynamic 88 it's green it's on his channel..
He is in Tennessee not too far away...
@@richardbates2367 I'll check it out. But Looking specifically for a 64 f85 Cutlass 2dr. And a 64 Plymouth Belvedeere like my dad's first car.
Definitely a great idea in the frontend swap! I approve of doing that!!
Hey Mortske 👋, That was a little bit of rust 😅. Yeah, don't blame you for passing on this one. Thanks for sharing, and have a great week ahead 👍
Even on vacation I had to watch. Love 60’s olds. I was wearing you’re shirt in MB and guys asked me about it and I sent them to you’re TH-cam. Thanks for another awesome video Mort.
Thanks much!
Love Mojo. He reminds me of my Dad and uncles. Soft spoken but a treasure of experience. Trustworthy, honorable. The best.
he's a wise man for sure
I have a 65 Olds 88 I bought for the 425 c.i. engine that I installed in a 67 Olds Cutlass. The Cutlass had a trans speedo cable but the 88 went to the wheel. Thanks for the video 👍
cool!
My first car was a twin to yours, without the rust… I got it in 79, drove it for a year till the trans went out, reverse being at the rear of the shifting console was a strange design flaw too… thanks for bringing back some memories!👍🏻
Nice..will watch tonight after work.. reminds me of my dad's old Buick
I always liked the styling that Olds had back then. Learned something new about the speedo tying to the front wheel. That car must have spent a few of its earlier years in Illinois or Wisconsin judging by the rust. The interior is a save along with the glass. I have a 64 Olds radio in my collection as the guy who was scrapping one back in 74 gave it to me. Still fire it up every now and again.
Our shop worked on a lot of the 55 56 Fords back in the 60's, and a lot of the upper trim models had the power steering. One our customers had a fleet of 54 Ford school buses running 279 Lincoln Y Blocks and they all had power steering too. Love the Victoria body style and would be an interesting project for sure. All 64 Jet Stars came with the 394/HydraMatic. Too bad this one is so far gone. They were hot machines back in their day. Great parts car for somebody.
awesome the rear end release @17:09 just wonderful.glad your hand didnt get whacked -but i think you knew going in that there was going to be downward excitement ,great video keep up the good work
40 50 thousand hundred = 200 million, that's old. Mojo is a genius video him more....yes please put the snootch rocket frame and motor in the 56 crown vic, that is a cool car. You, Duff,and Mojo keep up the good work
I could never understand how someone could let a car like the crown vic sit and rot away they have timeless style. Not sure how you could make it happen but it would be awesome to see it being used again. Oh yeah cartman loves a red rocket as well.
Best way to spend a rainy Lost Coast day. With Mortske!
Thank God!!!! I've missed your will it start videos!!!! Old school Mortske
Good to see somebody still putting out wrenchin videos and not interior decorating.
Damn that's a pretty car. Kind of like some buicks of the same years. My absolute faves.
I love everything about it!❤️ and Duff too. We love Duff!🤪
I have owned two Jetstar and my parents owned one which were all bench seat column shift cars. My Dad had the 1966 - 394 - 4BBL, remember traveling at night with Mom driving on our way to Florida and she was cruising at 100 mph . That car was so smooth and powerful. My 1964 Jetstar had the Ultra High Compression 330 - 4BBL and one day driving to Wisconsin I walked a Caddy down no problem. My 1966 had a 435 that someone had swapped in, ran good but not as good as the 330.
Awesome cars and great memories which your channel brought back for me.
Sweet rides!
The ‘56 Vicky takes me back to the late 50’s when Dad was buying cars like these to drive them back and forth to work in the iron mines. It’s true, that on a still but humid night in Minnesota, you could hear those cars rust away. I will always respect and have a place in my heart for ‘55-‘57 Ford Vicky’s and Fairlanes. Well actually any Ford from ‘57 on back to Henry’s first 1903 Model A.
Good times!
The rocket front in the 56 Vicky sounds like a great idea. Don't get to see you do much chassis mod, think that'd be a pretty cool build .
Hey Mortske Ive written you before about my moms old 56 Merc she used to have her first car and i just wanted to say I really appreciate your videos on all the older cars you work on because it is also very informative what you also know so its like a slight history lesson 👍 keep up the good work Mort I get a kick out of all your terminollogy on your videos 👍👌🙂
Right on!
Mortske is always a part of my morning routine on Monday!🇺🇸
glad to hear it!
Well that’s a bummer that the Olds red rocket turned out to be a dud 😕 Hopefully someone out here in the TH-cam world is looking for one and give it a good home. As always thank you, Mr Mortske, for doing what you do! Tip of the cap goes to Mojo for that rusted shock tip! 😁
Can't win em all!
One would be nice though.@@MortskeRepair
What a shame that this car was too far gone to be saved. It would have been a pretty sweet car back in its prime. And 1964 was the first year for the Olds 442, it's possible that those buckets seats might be the same. Or you might find someone with a 442 or Cutlass, that has a bench seat and they want buckets and possibly even that console. Good luck with it, and thanks for the video
One of your best shows... you have character,,, it keeps me coming back.. 😂
Once again, another great video Mr. Mortske. Thanks!
our pleasure Larry!
One of my favorite model cars to build has been the 56 Ford Victoria. I always thought it was a nice elegant car. Nice find. Don't see those ever. That 64 Olds must have been up mid doors in water. Or the windows were left down and rained in the car a ton before it was put in the barn. I have only seen that much floor gone when it is a convertible. The 56 was certainly the best car in this video
It looks like a great possibility online. Up close it's a little more work than anticipated. A good ran when parked candidate lol. Still, it's a semi decent 2 door car.
Multi-tasking Mortske! Happy Monday!
When I was a kid back in 1971 we were living in Yuma Arizona! A neighbor had a red Jetstar like this. At the time I really liked the car. As much as I like the old Jetstars I never bought one. I was too busy with Camaros, Mustangs & Challengers. If it did not have so much weight reduction I would buy it. Thanks for posting!
Awesome
Love your videos, awesome con tent
Thanks Ben!
Sounds like a good idea to do the swap on the 56 crown
I love to see you getting them running,but I have to totally agree with you on this one! I love the look of the olds front end though.
VW jack in the trunk kinda nice to have We all have bought junk but you did make a very interesting video for me to watch this Monday morning. You never disappoint us watchers
Sorry for the swing and a miss. But you'll never hit them not swinging! ❤
Thanks for the video!!
swing for the fences!
Those rear ends were used by a lot of drag racers cut down to use in those old front engine dragsters backin the day because they were known to be a strong differential .
dang right!
Thanks for another Mortske Monday! Thanks for the great editing Chin🐾🍺
Our pleasure as always Stu!
Thanks for another great video! Enjoy the fall weather, we'll be pushing snow before we know it!
don't talk about it!
@@MortskeRepair i scraped frost off the windshield this morning!!!
Dang that's a shame at first glance it didn't look to bad even with the rust on the lowers but then you look a little closer and there ain't no floors
Cherish the best in the business as long as you can! They are priceless treasures
Mojo must be treasured keep him with you at all times! Awesome video…
Always!
The trim looks great , that stuff may be sought-after. Looks like it was a nice ride at one time.
Nice episode. A lil changin gears on this one but like you said she still got some love to give before she goes to the scrapper or rust back into the ground.
I talked to you quite a while back and did find 2 of the 4 original hubcaps for that 63 Riviera before medical issues brought my efforts to a stop. I do still have the disassembled 425 nailhead though.
Enjoyed the picture show 😊
A car that good should've been on the road years ago.Mortske motor magic is needed...greetings from sth Australia 🇦🇺 👍
Right on!
Thanks for the video Mr. Mortske.
my pleasure!
Hey great to see you and duffdog again I'm sure I speak for others when I say that the whole world is in need of more MOJO'S
Wow, my family bought a '64 Dynamic 88 brand new and drove it to California. It was the only new car my Dad ever bought. Too bad this one is too far gone. You can't win them all Mortske and it was still fun to tag along. I second the idea of transplanting the drivetrain of the Snootch Rocket into that Vicky. Nice project that woud be.
Found something ol Mortske didn't know the history of lol. About time for a speedo cable Mortske Minute. Cool video
Great idea with the Vic/snooch rocket conversion!
Snootch Rocket swap in the 56 would be a good winter project. Because you don't have enough projects! Always fun to see the old stuff getting worked on.
so many projects
Been looking forward to this one showing up.
Thanks for showing that old's up close I never saw the inside of one before hope it fines a home back in the day I bet those were nice car's
Real neat see mojo at work! I currently have 89 olds Ciera 141k minty inside and out
Absolutely love this channel,great stuff.
Glad you enjoy it!
Always learning something new with your videos ✌️✌️✌️👍👍👍💯💯💯
Ya I was a Cutlass guy too in high school had a 72 Cutlass S 2 door with a 350 Rocket & a 2 door 74 Cutlass Supreme with factor 455 with Bucket seat Int ,Loved both of them!
Had a good time enjoyed watching you work and make all those tuff calls on the junk . At one time that Olds was was someone's pride and joy now it's yours. Do you you ever see the mower man
haven't seen him in months
Mojo, like you & Duff, ROCKS !
That Jetstar is/was a nice lookin rig, but I have to agree, not with all that under body rust! Good idea for that crown. Maybe next time, thanks for the Mortske Monday!
Thanks for the video!
I’d love to see the Vic on the road. Most people today have never seen one. I think your idea would be awesome.
Mortske, props to Mojo for calling that. I never would've guessed. I also would've sh** my pants when that shock released. There are a few things that scare me - lots of tension, high voltage electricity (3 phase or bigger), grinding wheels, and scissor jacks.
That olds is a pretty sleek looking car, too bad Olds has been defunct for like 20+ years (yeah, I know, 1990 was like 5 years ago, don't you feel the same?) That Impala you had was really damn cool. I wish I could've justified the 15 for it... until then I'll continue adding obscure cars to my checklist of crap I want to own. Finding the right older car that isn't beaten to snot is tough man!
I e actually seen that on the 69-72 gm trucks
Looks can be deceiving.😮
Thanks for sharing 👍
Holding on with a wing and a prayer 🙏 😂
Well my bud had a 1970 Olds Delta 88. It had a 455 2 barrel in it. Ive read that the 2 barrel heads flowed better than the 4 barrel heads. He had the front wheel speedometer in that car also. I thought I was imagining that till you showed the one on your Olds.
I think the Snootch Rocket put under that Victoria would be an excellant idea. Love to see it happen. 👍👍👍
Happy Morske Monday morning
Thank You, Mr. Morstke!!
our pleasure Daniel!
Great video Mortske I'm loving the content, you deserve more subscribers 😎👌
much appreciated!
I think that’s an awesome idea with the Victoria. Would be excellent to see that able to get back on the road.
Definitely mive forward with project - Snootch Victoria ! Godspeed
Man thanks! Love the 64 65"s such cool lines!
Glad you like them!
Right on Mortske, 55 is also my favorite year of the tri5's both mfgs.
Good video....back in the day a 64' Jetstar was a great car to have .
Yes it was!
Thanks Mortske, I'm hoping you didn't pay too much for the Oldsmopile rust rocket! It did look ok from what you had shown before! Yes to the 56 snoochrocket, you and Mojo could knock that out pretty quick, maybe in a week with filming?!
I love those old Oldsmobiles wish I had one
Not a builder but many great parts. Great video mortske !
I had a delta 98 1966 with a 425 put straight 2 1/4 exhaust to the back no mufflers loved that car
Yeah love to see it back on the road gr8 video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
