new guy from Maine 65 Starfire/425
hey guys, I joined CO to find some info and parts for my buddy's 65 Starfire with a 425. Its not a show car by any means, but it is a great driver for sure!
We are having a hard time sourcing up exhaust manifolds or even headers for the car. One of the manifolds is cracked and unusable. I have even talked to the great folks at Kooks Custom Headers and Dick Miller Racing(got an email from the man himself, now that is service!) to have a set of SS headers made, but have not had any luck.
If anybody has any info on exhaust that they could share, we would greatly appreciate it.
I'll try to get over to his house and get some pics for everybody. I'm not much of an Olds guy, but this car is flat out cool. Can't wait to get it back on the road and cruisin' this summer!
Thanks in advance

Lobster land
Welcome aboard!! I used to live in Nova Scotia , so I've been down to Maine a few times. Hope the salt air and roads havn't been to hard on the old girl. There will be a whack of folk here responding /welcoming , and I'm sure someone can point you in the right direction for your headers and exhaust. Post some pics ASAP.....Derek

Give these guys a call and see it they will fit your car. I am not up to speed on your year of Olds. Hopefully someone else will chime in

hey guys, thought i'd share an update. got a call from my buddy yesterday saying the search was off. i guess when they picked up the starfire, it came with couple of other olds with tons of parts in the trunks. they moved all the parts into storage and forgot about them. sitting in the corner was a pair of manifolds. should have it back up and running when time permits.
i haven't been to moody's in ages, i think they were still open 24hours the last time i was there. his starfire is white, so that may have been the car.
my buddy is a pretty quiet guy, and doesn't like alot of attention. i had to pretty much beg to let me post some pics for you guys @ CO. should have them soon, its almost time to start driving it. if you do happen to see the car this summer, just shoot him a thumbs up!
