Nice 78 Starfire on CL

http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/ctd/3552622674.html

If i had the money to play with this car i would. Looks real nice. I think a 455 would look good in it.

Very nice car. You rarely see this era of Starfires.

I love his asking price. $3,908. Not $3,907 nor $3,909. I wonder if he'd take $3,907.50.

I always did think those were neat little cars, it has all the Olds goodness squeezed into a subcompact package. It would look good in the driveway here with my new treasure. Hope an Olds guy/gal gets it.

Awesome little car! Seems like just yesterday I was test driving Monzas....time flies.

Is that a V-6 in there? What size?

That's because in reality it's the same car as the Monza and Skyhawk with differences in styling.

Key word - subcompact. They were a tight fit. Back seat was only good for throwing groceries in. The roof slope made it darn near impossible for anyone larger than 4'6" to fit comfortably.

Yes.

Some of the Monzas (and maybe the starfires) came stock with a small V-8 but I'm not sure about a 455. Would be pretty cool though.
