My budy Don had a 64 Starfire with buckets and console. Beautiful interior and was pretty quick for a fullsized car.

[@barryfriedel2426]

That is the coolest Oldsmobile I've ever seen. Wish I could hitch hike up there with the money to purchase that car,and drive that jewel home. Great score Jay

[@CraigSmith-qq3sr]

The asking price is no where close to restoration cost. Pricey but worth it! One of the best cars you've had in a decade. Beautiful!!!!

[@TimMonbrod]

I had a 1965 Delta 88 in high school. It was a 4- Door Automatic 4 barrel carburetor. I think it was a 425 or 472 Engine. It was a light blue color. I remember it had a Gigantic Trunk‼️👍Man oh man, I love the small vent windows that open and close by hand power‼️☮️🇺🇸 It is a very wide car compared to today's cars.

[@knowbodiesfull5768]

Had to have been a 425, because the 472 was a Cadillac engine and that didn't come until '68. (9/29/2021)

[@LlyleHunter]

@@TimMonbrod The 500 cu in debuted in the 70 Eldorado and became available in the rest of the full-size lineup in 74.

@@LlyleHunter Thanks for the information 👍You have the Wisdom of King Solomon 😀🇺🇲🇮🇪

[@jamesfisk5457]

I had a WEDGEWOOD BLUE, 1962 OLDS STARFIRE Convertable with a 455 V8. That was one of the most beautiful Automobiles ever made! With the 10 inch wide Silver and Chrome side trim,the tri-color glossy Blue upholstery and the entire dashboard instrument clusters back lighted, it was awesome. And a Light Blue Rag Top!

[@kingkrimson8771]

455 engine was not available in '62

[@montymatilda]

@@kingkrimson8771 agreed, '62 was a 394ci.

[@Batman-wv5ng]

So nice especially where the exhaust is coming out , never seen on any other car.

What a beautiful paint job!!!

Sweet Oldsmobile. Love the dashboard and instrument cluster 💙

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

Our pleasure! 😉

[@robd7365]

Awesome, awesome olds. Cream of the crop with the Muncie

[@christolbert4628]

I love that car. I'm partial to Oldsmobile's anyway, but that is an awesome find. 👌

[@sanfranciscobay]

A Full Size Luxury Car with a 4 Speed. How cool is that?

[@sandyshoremann7524]

You could get a Buick Wildcat in 1965 with a 425 dual quads and a four on the floor. My father ordered one, the family went to retrieve it but my mom said, NO!. We ended up a few months later with an Electra 225 Convertible with the 445 (401 cu in) V8 and Super turbine 400 with switch pitch converter. It was a great car.

[@sanfranciscobay]

@@sandyshoremann7524 Wow. A 425 Dual Quad Carburetor and a 4 Speed. Every man's dream and a gas guzzling nightmare.

[@raymondhoelscher9307]

How I remember these!! It was the year of the General motors strike.....

[@kingkrimson8771]

Which one LOL. Seems like they went on strike every second year.

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

😆

[@LlyleHunter]

@@kingkrimson8771 😂Yup. The company has half a chance of succeeding if the employees would stop striking.

[@joelyons3713]

Looks excellent to me! Love the little details inside and outside. Very sharp. Head turner for sure! 👍👍

[@randybourdon2791]

Beautiful find Jay! Never new this existed.

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

[@kennygardner5041]

I think the 1962 Starfire was the best looking; however the ‘65 is considered the BEST one in terms of structural tightness and handling. This is a BEAUTIFUL car!! Add the 4 speed and it is AWESOME!

[@knowbodiesfull5768]

That's a lovely car! It's so nicely restored, if I were to own it, I wouldn't want to drive it every day! (9/29/2021)

[@MostlyBuicks]

I really like that you guys restore cars other than Mustangs, Camaros and Tri-5 Chevys, and other "usual suspects". But damn, you have so many cars without factory A/C. I would never buy a car without fully functional factory A/C.

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

Well....don't know what to tell you. Sometimes it be what it is. 🙃

Another car id love to have

[@robertcushman7002]

this is by all means the finest oldsmobile I've ever seen!!! I'd like an order of this, over 442, just me! cheers 🐒🍾🍾🏳️‍🌈

[@Scooter-dm3qo]

The 425 Starfire engine was also an option on the Olds 98 Town Sedan. My Uncle Billy had a 65 Starfire and Dad had the Starfire engine equipped 98 Town Sedan. BTW, the Town Sedan was the lowest cost 98 and the lightest because it didn't have Air Conditioning and all the extra insulation that was used in the A/C equipped Luxury Sedan. As for power, my older brother used to drag race it against SS396 Chevelle's and 383 Roadrunners and win. Take the spare and jack out of the trunk along with the rear seat cushion and it would do 0-60 in under 7 seconds.

[@unclerudy9797]

Crazy Cool Olds !

[@ScottALaFollette]

Like the tornado in 1966 the StarFire was a “personal luxury performance“ offering from Oldsmobile. A category of automobile that saw it’s beginnings at Oldsmobile with the 1953/54 Fiesta show car that reached regular production. I’m curious Jay, what was the standard transmission on the 1965 Olds StarFire? Was the four speed an extra cost option? Thank you Jay for taking us on a “spin” down memory lane. I hope to become a customer converting my 401(k) into a classic automobile investment/toy some day.

[@markg7030]

13,024 hard tops and 2,236 convertibles. 370 horse power was standard in Starfire.

[@roadtripboy]

May Dad had one. It was white with a red interior. It did have automatic though.

[@sanfranciscobay]

Volo Museum Auto Sales. Has Jay made a video or written article on "How to Buy a Collectible Car" and posted it on youtube or his website?

[@jamessawyer8889]

I'd love to go back in time to when that car was brand new & sit behind the wheel to enjoy what a gorgeous hunk of car was all about, to see a real powerful engine under the hood, gleaming chrome, a car worthy of a Blue Coral wax treatment that you'd need to wear dark sunglasses to keep you from going blind, that is just a stunning automobile, I'd even like to go back to the Chicago auto show, & see that under the lights at McCormick Place, with a convertible parked next to it, along with a pair of fully loaded up 98s in 2 door hardtop & convertibles right nearby, you'd hard pressed to decide which of those 4 cars you'd want, oh, not to mention a pair of 442s next to those 4, EUREKA, I'll write a check for all six, have them sit parked in a huge garage like a set from Let's Make a Deal, with a cutout of Carol Merrill next to them, that would be too cool!!!

[@tombankwel4822]

There is the 🦇 batmobile, huge car, and there is this gourgeus stunning oldsmobile., wow i vould be a powerfull batmobile 🦇 thanks Jay grams president of volo auto museum what about a mousemobile 😎🎶🤩🤟✌️

Отличный автомобиль!

[@salvatorebartolomeo1031]

Kind of like an Oldsmobile version of the Pontiac 2+2.

[@dlemare]

We called them 'Sleepers' in the 60's.

[@eolafan100]

A four speed on any Olds other than the 4-4-2 was indeed unusual.

[@kingkrimson8771]

What about the Chrysler Concorde?

[@basilcarroll9729]

F85

[@jefffawcett1626]

Pretty sure the Ford Mustang was named after the wild equine that roamed the west, hence the category "pony car." But true its also the name given to the P-51 fighter.

[@sanfranciscobay]

The Edsel Corsair is an automobile that was produced and sold by Edsel in 1958 and 1959. For 1958, the Corsair was built on the longer, wider Edsel platform shared with Mercury. For 1959, the Corsair shared the shorter, narrower Ranger platform with Ford.

Very beautiful!! 😍

[@haroldluck9899]

Beautiful car

[@craigjorgensen4637]

So nice! A car in this class really should at least have air conditioning and power windows! Still, a very cool seldom seen car!

[@kingkrimson8771]

Whoever originally ordered the car with this configuration (425 engine, 4 spd.) was probably more interested in performance than creature comforts and didn't want the added weight of those features

[@brucebarber4686]

Nice unit how much $$$

[@loualiberti4781]

That’s a Rare Bird.

[@tommywatterson5276]

Beautiful car. I loved Oldsmobile. In GM I liked Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Cadillac. Wasn't a fan of Pontiac or Buick.

[@youtold7727]

The car is beautiful and the 4-speed is just that much more but what kind of weasel orders this car without power windows and the optional steering wheel. A/C shaking my head. It’s like buying a Rolls Royce and worrying about gas mileage.

[@magnus466]

Wow😍

Gorgeous car. That being said, you think they would have replaced the boot around the 4 speed. That looks dirty and used.

Wow! very nice car. I have a set of 425 Old's heads. If anybody needs them, let me know.

Funny my 1966 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 had a 455 engine, unless I am off the mark.

[@montymatilda]

455 didn't come along until 1968. Maybe a 425? 330 also available for 88's.
