JB1971SX

One of only 13,000 made in 1966, this Starfire coupe features the 425 cu in V8 (claimed original to the car), married to a three-speed automatic transmission. Only two previous owners and 105K miles on the clock. The big engine starts right up and runs smoothly; no smoke or odd noises. Power steering and power brakes, but crank windows. The interior was partially restored, with new red carpeting/floor mats and beautiful red vinyl seat covers. (Note that the original owner ordered this Starfire with the optional Strato bench seat instead of the buckets and console.) The dash and door panels were not re-done. The dash pad has two cracked areas but is overall very presentable, and the dashboard has never been cut up and sports all its original switchgear (including the radio). The carpeting on the lower door panels is faded (and hence does not match the new floor carpeting) and the silver vinyl in the center portions shows some delamination. The exterior is surprisingly clean and straight for a car of this vintage and given the acres off sheet metal. All the chrome trim is present and in good to very good condition (though the dual exhaust tips are rusty). The red paint is an older respray that has held up well; still has a shine after a good wash and wax. A few areas of surface rust are now bubbling through in the usual spots, but there doesn’t seem to be major cancer under the paint. The frame and rockers appear to be solid, with only surface rust. Original owner’s manual and Protect-o-Plate. Drive as is to cruise nights, or freshen the exterior and engine bay to show-car quality.

Looks nice, good luck with your sale.

Thanks. It really is a great car. And it gets a lot of attention at the cruise nights since it is always the only Starfire there. I would keep it if I could, but I also have a Cutlass SX with a few (dozen) needs and can't afford to keep both. I'm secretly hoping to win the lottery before the Starfire sells so I can do a light resto-mod treatment and keep it!

Do you have any more picts of the car?

JB1971SX

Yes, but each one is 2MB, and they don't compress much when zipped. So the file-size limits here in the forum are stopping me from uploading. Email me, and then I'll send the zip file via a service called WeTransfer:

You need an image resizing program, not a zip program. I've used this one for years, and it works great.
