Starfire shocks

Did the 62 Starfire come with rear air shocks from the factory. Mine had rear air shocks installed when I bought it.

I don't think they showed up factory installed till around 1966 but if they're Delco shocks they made air shocks to retrofit about any GM car. My guess is car had them installed some time in 70s. Plus all the major shock manufacturers made them.

Does this one have a fill valve or a compressor underhood with an adjuster **** underdash?

Found an air shock kit on ebay for a 66 Starfire. How different was the rear end setup on the 66
