I found a 1965 Olds Starfire out in the country, anyone looking for parts! I will try and get them for you! Just let me know what you are looking for and how much you are willing to pay! it belongs to an elderly man, but i can get parts off of car!

rocketraider

Here's what Starfire guys want:

Grille and headlight bezels (extra $$ if they're the early ones with the glass covers)

Hood windsplit moulding

Rear bumper

Taillights

Rear end trim panel

Body side mouldings with good exhaust ports

Exhaust extensions that fit thru the side mouldings

These parts will have to be nice to bring any high $$ because rechroming all that potmetal can get disastrously expensive.

If it has bolt-on cast aluminum wheelcovers those usually bring some decent coin, but YOU HAVE TO GET THE WHEELS TOO. They won't attach to a regular wheel.

Starfire specific interior parts can sell good too esp if they're the right color.

Is the car worth selling whole?

In addition to rocketrader's list check for the dual exhaust manifolds. The drivers side would be code "S" and are kinda funny shaped by the firewall.

So what would a set of 66 Starfire bumpers, fresh from the chromer be worth? I got a set with my car and the bumpers on it are not that bad, i thought about selling them to fund the interior re-do.

rocketraider

Whatever a normal replate job would cost, a few hundred per bumper. You should have all 3 pieces for the front and the one-piece back. The advantage is they fit all 1966 Oldsmobile B cars (88 & Starfire) and the front also fits Ninety Eight.

Just make sure you don't get the rest of the car so nice that you'll wish you had kept the freshly rechromed bumpers, because I can about guarantee if you have to have yer cores redone, it will cost more than you sold them for!

There's that voice of experience speaking again...

The reproduction S manifolds have hurt the market for originals a little, but those fit all 65-70 B & C body Oldsmobiles and are worth snagging if they're cheap. Shoot, pull the whole Starfire engine...

Thanks for the info!! I was thinking the same thing actually, except my luck someone would hit me and I would have a heck of a time finding replacements. When I bought the car I also ended up with an extra dash (unfortunatly in bad shape), rear windshield, complete front a rear bumpers with the bouble wrap still on from the chromer, extra door panels and bunch of misc chrome. I hate having a ton of stuff sitting around, especially since I am dying to put air ride on the car. I think I will just keep it all around for a rainy day.

I am interested in the aluminum wheel covers and wheels, complete. How much do you want for the set of 5 wheels and 4 covers?

Thanks,

Joe,

I will stop by there tomorrow, and check and see what wheels it has! If it does have the aluminum wheels, I will take pics and send them! You can call me @ 940-368-9604, if there is anything else to check for!

sdlotsruh

Joe,

I stopped by there today, it does not have the aluminum wheels, it has about every other option though! All the power!

AZ Rocket88man

Thank you! I appreciate the help. I will let you know if I think of anything else.

Does it have stock mirrors on the doors? If so I am interested.

rocketraider

New Journey With Olds came today and someone had an ad wanting a good 65 SF rear bumper. Back bumper on this one any 'count? No rust thru or other common problems?

Gene, none of the Starfire pieces will work on your Ninety Eight.

I need a red air cleaner from HC 425 rocket (4 barrel q-jet)

sdlotsruh

Yes, it has the Red AIR CLEANER with the HIPO sticker on it! Where do you live, how much? email me @ tconn@dbbits.com

sdlotsruh

Sorry the mirrors are already gone!

DAN76

OK, here's the snag. I'm in the UK !!
I've got my eye on one on ebay that ends in a few minutes, if that for whatever reason doesn't happen, would you consider an international shipment?
Is it definitely a 4 barrel fitment?

big mean

Thanks for checking, how about black rear seat belts?

I have a 1966 Olds Starfire, I'm looking for a right side rear window glass (power windows). Can you tell if other Olds models glass will fit and what I should expect to pay for this glass. Thanks in advance.
Mike

MikieGP

I have a 1966 Olds Starfire. I need a right side rear window glass (power windows). Can you tell me if any other Olds models glass will fit; suppliers that might carry this window; and what I might expect to pay for this passenger side rear window glass? Thanks in advance.
Mike

aliensatemybuick

Probably you will need to find the glass from a 65-66 Starfire or '65 Jetstar I hardtop (not sure about the S/F convertibles..also sure if a similar era Grand Prix window would work). I wouldn't think it would matter if it was power on non-power window car for just the glass. I am sorry I can't advise on price or where to find; might want to search the net for junkyards or individuals who might be parting these cars.

jaydigga

Any updates on this? still looking for a few things.

sdlotsruh

Yes, it is still all there, what are looking for? I was just out there this week. It has been a hectic summer .

sdlotsruh

Bob5973, I got the glovebox lid for you

aliensatemybuick

Hey missed your post before...nice to hear of another J1 owner...please post some pics in a dedicated thread about your car! -Scott

jaydigga

looking for a good package tray, and passenger side lower quarter. how does the inside look?

1965Delta88

Hey, do you still have the rear bumper?

I have a 65 Delta 88 and really badly need one.

Thanks!!

rocketraider

Starfire rear bumper is Starfire-only and is different from 88. It'll bolt up but taillight openings are very different.

1965Delta88

Oh you are right, I totally forgot about that THanks though!!

aliensatemybuick

This bumper just sold on Ebay a few days back. I had my eye on it for a while, was listed a few times before finally selling. Seller is notorious for high prices, yet someone out there ponied up the cash. Thing is, its been quite some time since I saw anything decent for sale AT ALL. As time goes by, parts cars are getting fewer and farther (or is that further?) between. It's getting really tough to find parts. Never thought l'd see the day where a so-so rear bumper for a fullsize '65 Olds would go for nearly $800. But its here.

By the way, this FS thread is 5 years old...

1965Delta88

I watched that too. I offered that guy 350$ for it and he said that they have sole some of those for close to 1000$. I think it is totally crazy. You can get a new bumper dor an Impala for almost the same money... .

kris-sarah

What shape are the lower moldings? looking for some that are not pitted. let me know

thanks
