1965 Starfire
I have a few questions about a car I recently purchased
Are the coupe and convertible doors the same?
Are the exhaust pipe outlets available (quarter panel exit)?
Does anyone make the seatcovers for these cars?
Regards,
Tad

Starfires are still around, and I see some for sale online regularly. However they are far from ubiquitous. They are rare enough that finding some Starfire-specific parts can be impossible.
If it helps any, here are the 60's-era Starfire production numbers I scraped off the internet:
1961 (convertible only): 7600
1962 (coupe): 34,839
1962 (convertible) : 7149
1963 (coupe): 21,148
1963 (convertible): 4401
1964 (coupe): 13,753
1964 (convertible): 2401
1965 (coupe): 13,034
1965 (convertible): 2226
1966 (coupe only): 13,019
So you can see that production decreased after 1962. Just to put those in perspective, there were 187,097 Cutlasses and 1,046,514 Chevy Impallas sold in 1965 (according to Wikipedia).

I've heard 2 different numbers on the 4-speed '65's
either less than 150 or less than 120 total built.
The other number I've heard is the 4-speed convertibles were less than a dozen total. I've found forum posts that suggest there may only be 3-4 of them running around anymore, and one is a clone.
Pretty rare. If you can find one for sale, hop on it quickly.
