Dan, I think Specman's point was more the condition of the car and it being a convertible. Rather than Starfire vs Delta/Delmonts.
J-'s comment referenced roughly $1000 Deltas. To me, Specman's comment said: Do 'those' Deltas look anything like this? I saw the humor in it. But if anyone knows of a Delta, Delmont or Jetstar in that condition for around a $1000 I can make a quick trip to the credit union.
I like the 60's Delta, Delmont & Jetstars. I love the bronze interior in my 66 Jetstar 88. But the Starfires & Jetstar I's do have thier appeal.
