So I'm looking at buying a 62 Starfire... just curious what the market looks like for parts when it comes to fixing it. Just wondering if its worth purchasing if down the line its gonna crash out on me... Please let me know whether or not making this purchase would be smart.

Thanks

All depends on what you need, and whether you are going to restore the car or "hot rod" it. For restoration, Fusick and Kanter both sell stuff for Oldsmobiles. Body replacement parts are not available to my knowledge but you can have that done if you can trust a good body shop. Hot Rodding is whatever you can fabricate or find or make fit and then parts aren't so improtant. As far as how smart a purchase is depends on what price you pay and condition of the car.
