Rare! Big 425 motor with a factory 4-speed and posi rear. Documented with build sheet and Protect-o-plate. Less than 500 miles since a professional body off frame restoration. This car was restored by a serious car collector for himself, not for resale. He loves big cars and 4-speed is an absolute must. It's time to thin down his herd, this is one of three we acquired from him.
EXTERIOR: The body is pristine, it's been professionally restored. Every panel is straight as a rifle barrel. The panels line up square and flush. Zero signs of rust or damage. Repained original Mojave mist. The metal flake is laid out evenly and the clear coat is polished smooth like glass. Up front the bumper was recromed. The headlight bezels and grill are original and been cleaned up nicely. It has correct T-3 headlamps. All the stainless trim was removed, straightened and professionally polished. The mirrors and door handles look new. In back the bumper and the tail panel have been restored. The jambs are painted slick, new weatherstrips and sill plates. Very rare deluxe aluminum wheel covers with spinners. They bolt to a special steel rim, they're in excellent shape. Very cool factory exhaust outlets right through the trim on the quarter panels.
INTERIOR: Check it outstanding bucket seats with a console in between and a 4-speed sticking out of it! It is completely restored which was no small feat. It's not like a Mustang where you can buy an entire kit for $400. The upholstery was duplicated to the original. It was all hand made by a professional. New cushions, no wrinkles. New carpet with the very hard to find sewn in mats. It also has a beautifully restored factory console, the correct chrome shifter with reverse lockout and a factory tachometer. The dash area is excellent. No cracks in the dash pad, the trim, bezels, knobs, steering wheel look mint. The door panels have brushed stainless trim and it looks mint. The door panels had to be custom upholstered as well. The headliner and visors are excellent. It has deluxe seat belts in front. The interior lights work.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The biggest motor Oldsmobile offered and it was only available in this car and the Jet Star. It's a 425- 375 horsepower. It even calls out "ultra high compression" right across the air cleaner. It's been completely rebuilt. It's all stock- manifolds, valve covers, air cleaner etc. It features power steering and power brakes. Detailed to original specs right down to reproduction GM hoses, clamps, a tartop battery topper and even dated sparkplug wires. The metal surfaces are clean and painted satin black. It still has the glass washer fluid bottle.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: This giant trunk compartment is all solid metal painted the same color as the car. It has reproduction liner kit including the plaid mats and matching side panels. Brand new tire on a restored rim for a spare. Restored jack assembly. New weatherstrip. It has a trunk light and power trunk release.
UNDERSIDE: The body was removed from the frame and the underside is rebuilt and detailed like new. The entire suspension system has been rebuilt front to back. Replaced shocks, bushings, steering components etc. The brake system was completely rebuilt. New brake hoses and brake lines, e-brake assembly is all hooked up. The exhaust has been replaced with a correct system and it exits out through the lower quarter panels. Fuel system was restored. New sending unit and fuel lines. Bottom of the motor is spotless, starter is rebuilt. It has a correct Muncie 4-speed trans. The linkage is restored. It has it's original posi rear end. The floors are clean metal painted satin black. The body bushings were replaced.
This car is cooler than it first appears. The big motor, 4-speed and posi are cool. The exhaust coming out through the quarters is real cool and rare. The cool wheels are also rare. This one is a high quality car from a serious collector. Don't miss this opportunity!

My budy Don had a 64 Starfire with buckets and console. Beautiful interior and was pretty quick for a fullsized car.
What a beautiful paint job!!!
That is the coolest Oldsmobile I've ever seen. Wish I could hitch hike up there with the money to purchase that car,and drive that jewel home. Great score Jay
I had a 1965 Delta 88 in high school. It was a 4- Door Automatic 4 barrel carburetor. I think it was a 425 or 472 Engine. It was a light blue color. I remember it had a Gigantic Trunk‼️👍Man oh man, I love the small vent windows that open and close by hand power‼️☮️🇺🇸 It is a very wide car compared to today's cars.
Had to have been a 425, because the 472 was a Cadillac engine and that didn't come until '68. (9/29/2021)
@@TimMonbrod The 500 cu in debuted in the 70 Eldorado and became available in the rest of the full-size lineup in 74.
@@LlyleHunter Thanks for the information 👍You have the Wisdom of King Solomon 😀🇺🇲🇮🇪
The asking price is no where close to restoration cost. Pricey but worth it! One of the best cars you've had in a decade. Beautiful!!!!
I had a WEDGEWOOD BLUE, 1962 OLDS STARFIRE Convertable with a 455 V8. That was one of the most beautiful Automobiles ever made! With the 10 inch wide Silver and Chrome side trim,the tri-color glossy Blue upholstery and the entire dashboard instrument clusters back lighted, it was awesome. And a Light Blue Rag Top!
455 engine was not available in '62
@@kingkrimson8771 agreed, '62 was a 394ci.
So nice especially where the exhaust is coming out , never seen on any other car.
What a beautiful job he did on this car !!
These are beautiful cars!!
Glad you like them! 😍
Sweet Oldsmobile. Love the dashboard and instrument cluster 💙
2:45 The Side Exhaust is very unique. Never knew about that feature. Very Cool.
I love that car. I'm partial to Oldsmobile's anyway, but that is an awesome find. 👌
How I remember these!! It was the year of the General motors strike.....
Which one LOL. Seems like they went on strike every second year.
😆
@@kingkrimson8771 😂Yup. The company has half a chance of succeeding if the employees would stop striking.
Beautiful find Jay! Never new this existed.
😎
sometimes one thinks that one has seen it all in cars.OMG, this is really nice. one learns something new every day. Jay thank you.
Our pleasure! 😉
Awesome, awesome olds. Cream of the crop with the Muncie
Looks excellent to me! Love the little details inside and outside. Very sharp. Head turner for sure! 👍👍
beautiful car a work of art just gorgeous
this is by all means the finest oldsmobile I've ever seen!!!
I'd like an order of this, over 442, just me!
cheers 🐒🍾🍾🏳️🌈
That's a lovely car! It's so nicely restored, if I were to own it, I wouldn't want to drive it every day! (9/29/2021)
That car is beautiful, and unique. I can't imagine why the PO would part with it, love those tailights also!
Some people are just ready for the next one or something different. 🙂
Crazy Cool Olds !
I really like that you guys restore cars other than Mustangs, Camaros and Tri-5 Chevys, and other "usual suspects". But damn, you have so many cars without factory A/C. I would never buy a car without fully functional factory A/C.
Well....don't know what to tell you. Sometimes it be what it is. 🙃
A Full Size Luxury Car with a 4 Speed. How cool is that?
You could get a Buick Wildcat in 1965 with a 425 dual quads and a four on the floor. My father ordered one, the family went to retrieve it but my mom said, NO!. We ended up a few months later with an Electra 225 Convertible with the 445 (401 cu in) V8 and Super turbine 400 with switch pitch converter. It was a great car.
@@sandyshoremann7524 Wow. A 425 Dual Quad Carburetor and a 4 Speed. Every man's dream and a gas guzzling nightmare.
Another car id love to have
I think the 1962 Starfire was the best looking; however the ‘65 is considered the BEST one in terms of structural tightness and handling. This is a BEAUTIFUL car!! Add the 4 speed and it is AWESOME!
The 425 Starfire engine was also an option on the Olds 98 Town Sedan. My Uncle Billy had a 65 Starfire and Dad had the Starfire engine equipped 98 Town Sedan. BTW, the Town Sedan was the lowest cost 98 and the lightest because it didn't have Air Conditioning and all the extra insulation that was used in the A/C equipped Luxury Sedan. As for power, my older brother used to drag race it against SS396 Chevelle's and 383 Roadrunners and win. Take the spare and jack out of the trunk along with the rear seat cushion and it would do 0-60 in under 7 seconds.
Beautiful car
Listed at $62,998.
Отличный автомобиль!
A four speed on any Olds other than the 4-4-2 was indeed unusual.
I'd love to go back in time to when that car was brand new & sit behind the wheel to enjoy what a gorgeous hunk of car was all about, to see a real powerful engine under the hood, gleaming chrome, a car worthy of a Blue Coral wax treatment that you'd need to wear dark sunglasses to keep you from going blind, that is just a stunning automobile, I'd even like to go back to the Chicago auto show, & see that under the lights at McCormick Place, with a convertible parked next to it, along with a pair of fully loaded up 98s in 2 door hardtop & convertibles right nearby, you'd hard pressed to decide which of those 4 cars you'd want, oh, not to mention a pair of 442s next to those 4, EUREKA, I'll write a check for all six, have them sit parked in a huge garage like a set from Let's Make a Deal, with a cutout of Carol Merrill next to them, that would be too cool!!!
*Beautiful, rare Starfire* !! #VoloMuseumAutoSales
Very beautiful!! 😍
Sleeper City
May Dad had one. It was white with a red interior. It did have automatic though.
13,024 hard tops and 2,236 convertibles. Starfire was only offered with one engine 370 horse power 425.
13,024 hard tops and 2,236 convertibles. 370 horse power was standard in Starfire.
Great car 🚗
We called them 'Sleepers' in the 60's.
Like the tornado in 1966 the StarFire was a “personal luxury performance“ offering from Oldsmobile. A category of automobile that saw it’s beginnings at Oldsmobile with the 1953/54 Fiesta show car that reached regular production.
I’m curious Jay, what was the standard transmission on the 1965 Olds StarFire? Was the four speed an extra cost option?
Thank you Jay for taking us on a “spin” down memory lane. I hope to become a customer converting my 401(k) into a classic automobile investment/toy some day.
That’s a Rare Bird.
So nice! A car in this class really should at least have air conditioning and power windows! Still, a very cool seldom seen car!
Whoever originally ordered the car with this configuration (425 engine, 4 spd.) was probably more interested in performance than creature comforts and didn't want the added weight of those features
There is the 🦇 batmobile, huge car, and there is this gourgeus stunning oldsmobile., wow i vould be a powerfull batmobile 🦇 thanks Jay grams president of volo auto museum what about a mousemobile 😎🎶🤩🤟✌️

What about the Chrysler Concorde?
F85
Pretty sure the Ford Mustang was named after the wild equine that roamed the west, hence the category "pony car." But true its also the name given to the P-51 fighter.
The Edsel Corsair is an automobile that was produced and sold by Edsel in 1958 and 1959. For 1958, the Corsair was built on the longer, wider Edsel platform shared with Mercury. For 1959, the Corsair shared the shorter, narrower Ranger platform with Ford.
5:02 The side view of the top of the rear quarter panel from the door aft reminds me of a 1969 Cadillac Eldorado.
Kind of like an Oldsmobile version of the Pontiac 2+2.
The car is beautiful and the 4-speed is just that much more but what kind of weasel orders this car without power windows and the optional steering wheel. A/C shaking my head. It’s like buying a Rolls Royce and worrying about gas mileage.
Wow😍
I can smell the exhaust from here.
Is that a good thing? 🤔
@@VoloMuseumAutoSales yeah baby
Beautiful car. I loved Oldsmobile. In GM I liked Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Cadillac. Wasn't a fan of Pontiac or Buick.
Beautiful car. I agree with comments here. It should have factory a/c
Here we go again........ 🙄
Volo Museum Auto Sales. Has Jay made a video or written article on "How to Buy a Collectible Car" and posted it on youtube or his website?
They just don't combine class and muscle in gobs of both like this any more.
Gorgeous car. That being said, you think they would have replaced the boot around the 4 speed. That looks dirty and used.
Wow! very nice car. I have a set of 425 Old's heads. If anybody needs them, let me know.
Nice unit how much $$$

Funny my 1966 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 had a 455 engine, unless I am off the mark.
455 didn't come along until 1968. Maybe a 425? 330 also available for 88's.
