1978 Oldsmobile Starfire SX
This is the first place I'm posting this. I am, with much remorse, deciding to sell my 1978 Olds Starfire SX. This car has treated me very well in the short year that I've owned it, but as a college student, I simply can't afford to finish the restoration I had planned for it.
This car is in nearly all original/stock condition. I have all the original paperwork including the build sheet! I can provide receipts of work that's been done to it on my part, too.
Some features:
In the time I've owned this car, I've replaced the brake hardware in both the front and back, rebuilt the carb, and put 2 new tires on it. I plan on replacing the valve cover gasket, exhaust manifold gasket, and putting 2 more tires on it soon. I will also try to replace the panhard bar. It also has new spark plugs and a distributor cap.
Mechanically, this car is great. Just today I got 318 miles out of a tank, and I'm confident in its ability to go 350. The interior on this car is in excellent condition, minus the headliner needing to be replaced and the "body by fisher" door sill trim panels needing to be replaced as well. The radio works great, too!
Note: not only does it have manual brakes, but no power steering either!
What it needs:
Since I have owned this car, I've done everything I can to cherish it and love it the way it deserves to be. I've loved every single moment driving it. These cars are in short supply anymore, especially ones that haven't been cut up and put on a drag strip. I intend on selling this car to a person who will give it a caring, loving home and will restore it to its former glory.

I'm asking $2000 OBO.

Some features:
- 151 CI Iron Duke 4cyl
- Manual brakes (disk up front, drum out back)
- AC
- 2nd row seating with a roomy hatch as well (the back seats fold down too!)
- Rear Defogger (wiring in the hatch needs redone)

What it needs:
- Wheels (some of them are bent and cause vibration on the highway)
- A/C Compressor (if you really need A/C)
- Body work (fenders, lower quarters, doors). The underside isn't too bad, but the pinch welds will need to be redone eventually.
- Panhard bar (slightly bent)
- Oil pan/Tranny pan gaskets
