IF OLDSMOBILE WERE STILL BUILDING THIS CAR TODAY... OLDSMOBILE WOULD PROBABLY STILL BE IN PRODUCTION. THERE ARE ONLY A HANDFULL OF CARS BUILT EVERY DECADE THAT REALLY STOOD APART FROM ALL THE REST, THE CONTINETALS AND THE TUCKERS OF THE 40'S, THE BUICK SKYLARKS OF THE 50'S, AND THE OLDSMOBILE STARFIRE OF THE 60'S. THIS WAS YOUR FATHER'S OLDSMOBILE...A AUTOMOBILE WAY AHEAD OF IT'S TIME...NOT MANY CARS HAD AS MUCH CHROME AND STAINLESS STEEL AS THIS CAR HAD, NOR THE POWER THAT THIS CAR HAD. WITH A WINDOW STICKER OF OVER $4000.00, IT WAS NOT A CHEAP CAR. FORDS AND CHEVROLETS IN 1962 WERE ABOUT 1/2 THE PRICE OF THE STARFIRE, BUT IT WAS MUCH MORE CAR FOR THE DOLLAR. THIS CAR IS PERTTY MUCH ORIGIONAL WITH WHAT IS BELIEVED TO BE ACTUAL MILEAGE OF ONLY 64,585 MILES SINCE NEW, WITH ONLY THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT HAVING BEEN REUPHOLSTERED, AND ONE CORRECT REPAINT, AND THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS RECHROMED. THE MATCHING NUMBER 394 V8 MOTOR WITH 345 HP, AND HYDRAMATIC AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MAKE THIS CAR ALMOST A MUSCLE CAR OF THE 60'S. WITH POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, POWER SEATS, AND FACTORY A/C (REQUIRING MINOR REPAIR) THIS CAR IS LOADED, A EASY CAR TO DRIVE, THAT CAN BE ENJOYED BY THE ENTIRE FAMILY, AND COULD BE DRIVEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND BACK WITHOUT HESITATION...YES A TRUE FLY IN AND DRIVE IT HOME CAR. NOT A SHOW CAR, BUT A SUPER NICE, TROUBLE FREE 50 YEAR OLD CAR TO ENJOY LIKE IT IS, OR TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITHOUT A LOT OF EFFORT OR MONEY INVOLVED, AND SHOW IT. A TEXAS CANCER FREE CAR THAT IS INSURED, INSPECTED, LICENSED, AND DRIVEN TO MANY LOCAL OLDSMOBILE CLUB FUNCTIONS FOR ABOUT 1/2 OF WHAT A 62' CHEVROLET, OR A FORD WILL COST YOU, IT IS PRICED TO SELL, AND SELL FAST. I LOOKED FOR MANY YEARS FOR A 62' STARFIRE UNTIL I FOUND THIS ONE, BUT HAVE JUST BOUGHT A 70' 442 CONVERTIBLE THAT I WANT TO RESTORE. I NEED THE GARAGE SPACE, AND THE MONEY TO GET STARTED ON MY NEW PROJECT...THIS IS THE ONLY REASON I AM SELLING THIS CAR. HAVING SAID THAT.... I AM NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN TRADING.
