'62 (?) Sighting

I'm gonna say this is a '62 Starfire but feel free to correct me and excuse my ignorance as the A-bodies are my wheelhouse. Had a little time to kill yesterday afternoon and drove out to an area I haven't been to in a few years. It's a dead end mountain road and saw this parked in front of one of the houses. Has a tag on it but sitting on a couple of flats. I didn't get out to look at the interior but the body looks pretty original and in decent shape. There was a '59 Impala 2-door sitting across the road which was definitely not roadworthy. Body looked good but no side windows and there was a '73 or '74 colonnade Skylark in the driveway that looked roadworthy.
Whoever lives there definitely appears to be of the "collector" (hoarder) personality type.

Was this pic taken close to Birmingham Alabama?
If so, I know the lady who lives there. I don't know the Starfire, but if this is that place there is a heck of a lifelong Starfire journey that took place there.

What a cool *** car. I totally understand Starfire freaks and love for them. Can't fake those.
