Starfire conv -65

Searching for Starfire 1965 trim and bezel.


Does anyone have passenger side head light bezel? Obviously it is similair only on Starfires, i'm not sure?
Another missing part is that short trim (moulding) between door and front wheel on passenger side. It is that wide trim that is only on Starfires.

Even information about who might have these parts would be valuable.

I live on other side of our planet earth, in northern Europe.
I have owned my Starfire conv -65 already for 20 years and now it is time to find some missing parts to it.
I have been driving it almost every year several thousand miles, half of the year we have hard winter, snow and ice so I use this car only on summers. During these years i have painted it twice, rebuilt engine once and i have been trying to keep or bring back to as much as possible original shape.

I know where ther is a 65 Starfire in an old junkyard. I'll probably get out there this fall and check it out for you.

1965 Starfire and Jetstar I (not Jetstar 88) use the same grille and headlight bezels. Still doesn't make them any easier to find.

1963 Olds trim

[quote=Starfire65conv;208979]Searching for Starfire 1965 trim and bezel.


I have the complete set of trim for all for wheel wells and the wide trim in between. They are off a 63 hard top. I'm not sure about the bezel but I do know of a local wrecking yard that has a 1963 delta 88. I was thinking they were the same. I you fond the are I could go get it for you.

I'm looking for the belt seal which is located on the inner and outer portion of the roll up windows. Would you know where to get new replacements? I've tried everything I can think of.

63 will not work. It is totally different from 65.

I have spare set of headlight bezels (found NOS ones a couple years back); they have some pitting but are better than average. See pic below. I'd like $30 for the pair, plus shipping. PM or E-mail me at scottfettner@hotmail.com if interested.
