me and my brother just got a 65 starfire to restore for my dad ( it was his first new car and bragged to us how fast it was) we plan on giving it to him in late may. we just started the restore this weekend. this car is 99.9% complete and in great shape for a 47 year old car. we are looking for a few things and parts seem to be tough to get.. we are looking for upper ball joints and passenger side rear wheel well molding . that is all we need for now i will post some pics as we go

 

Welcome to the site! Cool story, good luck finding the last pieces for your car Please post pictures of your car when you have time.

 

I had a '65 Jetstar I with the towing [4:33] package - loaded as a Starfire!
Believe the suspension parts are still available at your local Auto Parts store, but that wheel opening moulding you'll have to search for!

I may have your wheel well trim ... Ill check for you. Funny, I'm in Illinois too wish i saw this car 1st

 

pm me with what you want for it , and we will work out the details

 

What a great gift to give to your dad. He is one lucky guy and its obvious that you think he is one great dad as well. Good luck and keep us in the loop with pictures and commentary on the build

 

Nice! You got a bonus when it came with the N93 option wheel discs.

 

I know , we were missing one center cap and two bar spinner . just scored one off ebay for 26.00 now they are complete and just need to be cleaned up

we just got it back from the tranny shop , my father was right this thing churps 2nd gear . I also need to add to the parts list needed

brake booster , i found a guy in Oregon that rebuilds them for 115.00 plus shipping anybody use him ?

 

I have several of those wheelcovers and centercaps that I have realised I'm not gonna do anything with them. Bought them for my 64 Starfires but can't find good wheels. I'll make you a good package deal on them if you want them. As in shipping will probably be more than the caps, because they are heavy.

If you can find the correct front and rear resonators, these will make your Starfire sound like it is supposed to. The early production cars had it both sides, then it changed to left side only, then mid-year they did away with them and went to conventional exhaust. Are your tailpipe ends good? Lot of 65's had them disconnected and run out under the bumper.

 

I know of a set that was available last I knew. I purchased 4 myself and I think he still has a set. PM me Rocketraider if your interested, I will give you his number.

It changes the equation by alot when you actually find the special deep-dish, (reduced back-space) rims with the 3-extra holes in the hub. As you know, these are almost impossible to find as most were junked as ordinary rims.

 

to whomever called me requesting front end components for a 1965 Olds Starfire --------- I CALLED AND LEFT MESSAGES on five separate occasions ------- and you never called back -------

so if you are for real ----- CALL ME -- 516 - 485 - 1935 (Craig) --- t
here's no sense my calling you anymore, is there????????????

I'm willing if you are.......

 

Sjcrft: Nice car I have one also, I would like to ask you if you have one of the N-93 wheels as a spare (meaning 5 wheels per car) or does the car have a plain rim. Also are there any decals specific to N93 option wheels on the trunk lid???? I have 4 complete wheels and would like to know if I need a fifth?????
