62 Olds Starfire convertible RESTO-MOD NO RESERVE

1962 Oldsmobile Starfire starfire

1962 Oldsmobile starfire convertible. Condition is Used. PLEASE READ THE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION. THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION TO CONSIDER.MY INTEREST IN CLASSIC CARS IS THE RESTORATION. I ENJOY FINDING RARE CLASSICS AND RETURNING THEM TO THERE FORMER GLORY. I HAVE DONE THIS SINCE I WAS A TEENAGER AND I'M NOW IN MY 70'S.THIS CAR WAS IN DEPLORABLE CONDITION WHEN I GOT IT. THE FRAME AND SUSPENSION WERE GOOD.I STARTED FROM THE GROUND UP RENEWING THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM INCLUDING STEEL LINES.I THEN STRIPPED THE CAR TO BARE METAL. ALL RUST AREAS WERE CUT OUT AND REPLACED WITH NEW METAL WELDED IN. THE MAIN FLOOR AND TRUNK FLOOR WERE REPLACED FROM A RUST FREE DONNER CAR.THE MOTOR WAS SHOT. I REPLACED IT WITH A 1966 425 CID 385 HP AND A TB 400 TRANS. I GAVE THE MOTOR A NEW OIL PUMP,TIMEING COMPONETS, AND A VALVE JOB BEFORE INSTALLING.THEN THE ELECTRICAL STUFF. THE HEADLIGHT, IGNITION AND TURN SIGNAL SWITCHES ARE N.O.S. ALL WINDOW MOTORS AND SWITCHES WERE REPLACED WITH N,O,S OR GOOD USED. THE WORKING PART OF THE TOP GOTNEW RAMS. HOSES, AND PUMP. THE TOP COVER WAS REPLACED AFTER PAINTING.THE PAINT IS SHERWIN-WILLIAMS SINGLE STAGE ACRYLIC ENAMEL.I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL PAINTER. THE CAR LOOKS GOOD, BUT HAS SOME FLAWS. CAR COMES WITH A QUART OF NEW PAINT AND ASSORIES FOR TOUCH-UPS.THE UPHOLSTERY AND CARPET ARE NEW.THE WEATHERSTRIPPING AND WINDOW WIPES ALSO.
ALL OF THIS WORK TOOK OVER 3 1/2 YEARS. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT. HAS A LOT OF POWER. THE DUEL EXHUST AND TURBO MUFLERS SOUND GOOD.
THIS WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE A CONCOURSE RESTORATION OR A TRAILER QUEEN IT IS A BEAUTIFUL RARE CLASSIC THAT GETS A LOT OF OOHS AND AAHS AND SOMETIMES AN AWARD.I AM SELLING BECAUSE I HAVE DEVELOPED SOME HEALTH ISSUES THAT PREVENT ME FROM DOING THINGS LIKE I USED TO. THERE SOME THINGS THAT STILL NEED ATTENTION.THE GAS GUAGE DOESN'T WORK. THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS, BUT THE ODOMETER DOESN'T COUNT MILES. THE WORST THING IS THE HEAT/VENT SYSTEM THE VACUUM HOSES WERE ROTTED AND NEED REPLACED. I WILL INCLUDE A ROUTING DIAGRAM TO ASSIST IN THIS REPAIR.THE COMPONETS ARE ALL THERE . JUST NEED HOSES.CAR COMES WITH A DEALER WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL4 NEW SHOCKS AND ANY OTHER EXTRA PARTS I CAN LOCATE.THIS IS A NO RESERVE SALE. WITH CAR NEEDING SOME WORK I AM STARTING AT BELOW WHOLESALE.
SCAMMERS!! I AM GETTING OLDER, BUT I AM NOT STUPID, MOVE ON!!
