This is a true classic! Just an absolutely beautiful example of the currently popular antique 1963 Oldsmobile Starfire 2 door Hardtop coupe with the 394/345HP V8 'Ultra High Compression Starfire Rocket' engine with 93K original miles and loaded with factory options including: Jetaway automatic transmission, power steering, deluxe steering wheel, power brakes, power drivers seat, electric clock, courtesy lamps, soft ray tinted glass, AM radio with power antenna, sports console with shifter and tachometer, bucket seats, remote release trunk, 2 speed windshield wiper/washer, heater and defroster and with rare factory added option of air conditioning (Air cond not working), and outside front hood rear mirror. The Starfire was Oldsmobile's entry into the personal luxury market built on the Super Eighty-Eight's 123-inch wheelbase frame. The list of standard equipment included a more powerful V8, Hydra-matic drive, sports console with shifter, tachometer, courtesy lamp package, two-speed wipers, power brakes, power steering, brushed aluminum trim, dual exhausts and leather trim. Oldsmobile introduced the new Starfire in mid-1961. It was a high performance, high style, luxury automobile that was true to the company's rich performance history and offered a host of distinctive features. The Starfire returned for 1962 to include a hardtop variant. Priced around $4,500 in 1963, the Starfire Hardtop Coupe was equipped with all the features found in the Super Eight-Eight plus brushed aluminum side panels, a sporty cockpit featuring bucket seats, leather upholstery, floor console and power-operated front seats. Power was from a 394 cubic-inch V-8 engine that offered 345 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque, courtesy of a Rochester four-barrel carburetor, 10.5:1 compression, a revised camshaft profile, an efficient combustion chamber design and a free-flowing dual exhaust system. This model comes complete with Air Condition package, power equipment including power drivers seat, factory tinted glass, console tachometer, rear deck release and re verb rear speaker. Note: "We specialize in seeking out and finding rare classic cars in very good to excellent condition. This is a premium example of one of our finds! This was owned by a local professional couple who used this for several summers in the Traverse Michigan area and took extreme care and attention to keeping it in the beautiful condition shown here." "We personally put over 100 miles on it so we can present any issues to our potential customers with full transparency!" All power options including windows, antennae, and tachometer work except we identified the following issues: All lights work except blinkers, we may or may not have these fixed before the auction closes if our auto electric guy can trace it down. The power seat on drivers side has a running motor but does not move and is stuck in one position adequate for a 5' 8" to 6' 2" person to drive comfortably. We will not be looking into this issue. The clock does not work. The passenger window goes up and down very slow and leaves a small gap on the right side when up all the way, so it is slightly off track The Am radio tunes into your station with some static during warm up and tuning, but works when tuned in, both front and rear speakers work. The air conditioning does not work, heat and defrost does, wipers work, console RPM gauge works. The car starts and runs great, with no smoke, no engine knocks, or slipping in the trans. No fluid drips under car. We urge potential buyers to "bid accordingly with the minor issues we described in mind, in as is condition". $200 deposit is required within 24 hours of auction close using PayPal and the balance is due within 1 week of auction close by cash/check/money order.
