62 Starfire ragtop

I just picked up my 62 starfire ragtop. Been in storage since the early 80s it as 33,000 miles on it , just started it today and man it started right up! I was amazed. I am looking for a nice original set of hubcaps and clips if any has some let me know. I am new to this car. I am going to need help with this one. I Have been into Mopars but have all ways admired these cars.

Starfire 'verts are GREAT! I have a '61. Fusick's has the wheel cover clips. I have 3 extra '61 red wheel covers, I don't believe they are the same.

Very nice! It does look as though it is sporting a quarter-century or more of dust. Plenty of help here when you need it. Have only to ask.

Wow that is such a great treasure find. To answer your question, 4 topics below yours is someone offering hubcaps for a 62 SF. Also they come up on Ebay every now and then, should'nt be too hard to find.

Thanks for the info: the books were in the trunk when I bought it, along with all the side trim that is pot metal was replated years ago. I also picked up a 62 starfire hardtop running and driving but rusty for parts
