That one has a few flaws but you cannot restore a 61 (or any Starfire) to that standard for $58k.

When I saw the color I thought it was the Florence Henderson Starfire, but hers was blue interior and had a few extra trim pieces.

Yes, before Mrs Brady was driving Mopar station wagons she had a 61 Starfire. Built for her by Oldsmobile when she was working as an Olds spokesperson in late 50s-early 60s as part of Olds' "Johnny and Lucille" song act. That kind of advertising was right up Olds General Manager Jack Wolfram's alley.

What a beautiful car! The '61 Oldsmobiles were the sweetest full sized Olds ever I think. Although sometimes I think the '57 is.
