That Mecum car was a modified car with 15" 5 lug and disc brake conversion, bidders probably did not know that since not a lot of people know about these cars.
In 1963: 4406 automatics, 1391 4 speeds, 45 3 speeds.
People are dragging these out of swamps now but the critical turbo components to rebuild the turbos has run out, so unless you already have a restored turbo on hand, you are not going to be able to restore a Jetfire.
Rick, your Jetfire is one of the best (I should know!). Try it at auction, it should do well.
