to buy 1963 starfire?

Hey guys and gals, I found a 63 starfire forsale. Not too sure it is worth saving, just thinking she will be good for parts. From the photos the paintg is rough, not sure about rust. Looks to be all the chrome is there and tail lights. Buckets with center console, all glass is good, 394 in it still with the air cleaner. The car isn't far from me so I am going to look at it on Tuesdays. What your thoughts? Thanks

Let us know what it looks like, as you know they are not as easy to repair or supported through aftermarket parts like the A bodies.

Of course you should try to save a 63 Starfire! Of course I'm a bit prejudiced...

Okay, I may just buy it. The guy wants 600 for her. The one thing that is upseting, they didn't have a key for the trunk. They bent some of the body when they done that.I wouldn't be able to do anything with it till April, I am leaving for work Saturday and won't be home till April. Also looking at another 394 hi comp and a 324

all starfires are worth saving!
there are a few threads on here where they have brought back from the near dead a starfire, if the car is complete and the frame is good you can save it.
Is this a coupe or convertible?
these cars share alot of body panels and other components with the 88 and 98,I have several 63 98s both coupes and convertibles that I play with.

Oh it worth to save. Was hoping so, love the style of them. She is a coupe. Even think it has swivel buckets. Not sure if that is special. Yes most of the car is intact, missing the rad, handle on the shifter from what I see on the photos
