"A N D" That darn car was one of the best cars that GM ever made... I cannot remember any other car that could pass it... That sucker was truly a "ROCKET"... Olds could not have named a better name for that automobile...
That car is going to rust now that it's outside in the wet air and rain better get some primer or something on it soon or it will be covered in surface rust.
Great stuff. I'd like a look round that garage. Some nice cars and stuff in there. Make a video on that and involve you're Grandad too. Get him to talk about the cars and history behind them. That would be cool. 👍
Oh my god those were beautiful cars! A friend of mine had one back in the early 70's when I was in high school! I Had a black 1960 Olds 88 convertible with a red silver and white interior and white top! It was dechromed, lowered and had fender skirts on it ! He used to outrun me all of the time!
394 fire breathing cubic inches of Rocket Oldsmobile. About 345 HP and 4 zillion ft.lbs. of torque. What a beautiful example of a 1962 Starfire. My all time favorite sports/luxury car. I drag raced a couple of 1950 Olds' back in the '60's. My Holiday had a 394 in it and was the big surprise for many so called muscle cars.
My Father in law had a 1962 Olds,That car was a 4 dr ht the interiors were drop dead gorgeous!, the chrome lit it up the beautiful tape speedo,Green till 40?, yellow 40/70, 70+ RED... He got lit a lot we went to Kentucky a lot,I got to drive it a LOT,I had it to 100, MANY times like sitting in a rockin chair😊
My Grandfather had one he bought new, when he past my Grandmother gave it to my Dad he drove it to work for years, I loved that car wish I had it today, best looking Oldsmobile
Hi Michael, I just wanted to thank you for your great videos, they are improving all the time. Kind regards FromMarcus in Pringle Bay in sunny South Africa. Keep it up my friend.
Those Starfires had some pretty neat interior features. For example, above the glovebox door was a panel with the Starfire script. This was edge lit by the dash lights circuit, so when you turned on the lights at night, the panel would glow and provide your passenger with a luminous advertisement of what car they were riding in!
Hey Budget Buildz guys, I watched the starfire video and as another 62 Starfire owner would like to help you get yours on the road . You mentioned that you are in need of a master cylinder. I have a brand new never installed Master cylinder and power booster that will fit your Starfire . I ordered it and never installed it because I decided to buy a complete dics brake kit and the original Master cylinder seller would not take my return . You can get it CHEAP ! LET ME KNOW , MARK Z
When you see something like this next to modern day motors, you appreciate it much more. Back in a time when cars were cars. Long live Detroit's memory.
I had a 62 Dynamic 88 4 door, no A/C but the engine was killer. Looked rough with the rust at the bottom of the door panels but I won many a stop light challenge with hopped up Novas and such. Good Times!
You can change the single brake master to a duel master cylinder it will work better and be safer. If you break a line or hose on the single you have no brakes, NONE !
I remember back when that slab-sided 62 style came out, I was just a kid but I thought they were nice looking cars. GM abandoned Oldsmo and Pontiac fins like they were diseased, and shoved all that fin into 1960 Buicks and Caddys and turned them sideways on Chevys. As the 60's wore on Oldsmos got a little more piggish every year. Killer condition on that car, remarkable.
It always seemed to me with the 1959 models, the the more the car cost the more upright the fins were. The Chevy had horizontal fins. The Buick had diagonal fins and the Cadillac had the most upright.
Giving that 62 Oldsmobile is worth the restoration n a new transformation n a new paint color like silver as the base coat n a Red pearl Color for the exterior n 14 coats of Crystal clear sealer
I owned two of these in the 70's...a light blue two door and a black convertible. Take good care of the stainless steel side pieces. They are impossible to find in any condition. Please paint the top the same color as the body. That black is hideous.
You Dad is cool as hell. Quiet.. knows everything but stands back and watches. My Pop is the same way. Get's right in there when there is dirty stuff to do..
uncle's got some fun cars...the starfire of course, but looks like a '62 XL, and a bulletbird. despite the leaky brakes, looks like y'all had a good gettogether with the family...have an excuse to do it again when another m/c is located. thx for the fun side trip from the usual content!
The ‘62 T-bird is my Uncles and the ‘62 XL 406 Tripower 4 speed is my grandfathers 😉 All the others old cars there.....are ours 😅 It was definitely nice to see everyone, it’s been a minute! Glad you enjoyed!
I'm sooooo jealous of you guys, first you came up with the Comet now this. I have a 62 Super 88 which is the 4 door hard top version of this car. I looked for a 62 Starfire for years and never found one. Sooooo jealous!!! just don't abuse the trans, they are week and the 392? 394? they had made lots of HP.
I have to say the 61-64 Olds are my second favorite of the brand only to the 57. I think the 57 Olds is the second best looking GM product of that year, second only Cadillac Coupe Deville.
What a beautiful car! I love those old ‘60s Starfires! They came from the era when manufacturers made cars with style and performance to draw in buyers. This was a true luxury muscle car, I would love to see you and your dad tackle the restoration of that car
Our family owned a loaded mint 2 door 63 Oldsmobile Starfire hardtop, shiny black in color, wide white steel stripe trimmed with chrome on each side, red bucket seat interior and stick shift console with tachometer. That was a very kool vehicle in its day, still are a sharp looking vehicle.
Easiest 'barn find' resurrection yet? Shame about the brakes though. Suppose the good luck had to run out at some point on a vehicle that's been sitting for that long. Wish my old clunker would start that easily after sitting for even a year. Normally I have to soak the carb in cleaner overnight to unblock it's pores 😉
Getting parked before in a dry environment back when fuel was MUCH better, sure does make a huge difference!! I don’t think have another go over as smoothly as this one 😁
A nice midsized sedan. Will look good with a full restoration and a Continental tire kit. Not as long as my dad's 59 olds 98 Convertible, Rocket 394 with Continental kit, or his '63 Cadillac Fleetwood hardtop, but a nice two door car.
I'm not a big fan of American cars, but I like this one. And that other black one you had. This one needs a paint job and that's basically it. As I mentioned before. Give it a coat of zinc before the primer and she'll last forever. You guys rock.
I do love this car 1962 Oldsmobile to please continue to show us some more new videos love Oldsmobile’s and the restoration process my brothers thank you guys so much
@@BudgetBuildz If you are gonna be in this business, take some time and build your self a simple cart with a big truck battery that can really crank old sticky engines. Don't waste time with an old fuel pump that has been sitting for 25 years- have a small fuel tank and electric pump as part of your cart. Have a simple ignition switch with some leads that you can run to the starter solenoid and coil in case there are no keys or the wiring is a rat's nest. Invest in a spark checker, not just trying to see a spark from the wire to the motor. Keep a compression gauge on your cart, because if you don't have compression, then there is no point in monkeying around with the rest of it. Add one of those battery tenders to the cart so you can plug it in when it is sitting around. Then you will have a nice organized setup ready to go at all times.
The '61Starfire had a bit more stylish body, but was convertible only (which I've always thought odd). Not a big fan of ragtops, so the '62 is the next best thing. Seems a LOT of great sleeper cars were from '62 - the Starfire (with the 394 c.u./345 hp), the '62 Mercury Comet (with only the second version of the long-lived Windsor engine family, the 260 V8), the '62 Buick Skylark which is one of my favorite's (with the very cool 215 c.u. aluminum V8), the '62 Ford Falcon Futura, with the body style that you either loved or hated (unfortunately, no V8 in in a Falcon till '63, so by all means, thrash that 170 c.i. I6), and the '62 Chevy II Nova (no V8 till '64). Love all those cars for '62!!
That ol Starfire had some nice torque. A guy had it parked at stop n go back in the day and we’re looking at it, he says come here I want to show you something. So he’s starting it up, starts given er gas and he goes look at the body shift up and down. And that’s how I learned something about torque.
Wellll Duhhh!!!! Of course we want to see more of this Beautiful girl, and Hopefully Updates later on Please!!!! It's always good to put a thin amount of lube on the Star Adjuster threads. Thanks for another Bitchin!!!! Video.
I have a 64' Olds Jetstar 1 with the 394 and "hydromatic" trans. Has 74,000 original miles. Engine has 20,000 on a rebuild. Nice old cars they love to cruise. I'm looking for a frame unfortunately, years of sitting in an apple barn (from previous owner) up here in NH has taken its toll. Got to run it for a solid 2 years before I decided to park it. One day
Back in the day, I had two of these. Hard top and a convertible. This was in Nebraska and both were rusted out pretty bad in the quarter panels. The hard top I bought when I was 17 in 1967. The convertible I bought in 1971. I really did like these old cars and I would squall the tires every chance I got. Good luck on the restore. I'll assume that I am watching this 11 months after it first posted, you have come along nicely.
Did you ever do a follow up to this video about the 1962 Oldsmobile Starfire? It's a magnificent car, and appears to be highly optioned, with power windows and even power vent windows as well; + air conditioning. Was the original color the same metallic red that is in the interior?
Most people are not aware that Oldsmobile was the most powerful car that GM put out … it was even stronger than a Caddy … When Caddy started using Fuel Injection on the early Sevilles … this was the first Fueli and when Caddy started converting gas engines to Diesel , again this was the only engine that could handle the intense extra pressure of a Diesel engine … When no one had a 3 speed automatic tranny …. Oldsmobile had one …. You could lose your brake and be able to stop 🛑 an Olds …. Just throw that baby into reverse at 30 miles an hour . Believe me , it would stop … No doubt that Oldsmobile was the best that GM ever made ! I know , I worked and was trained by GM for years …
Hello from the Home of the real Oktoberfest - Munich /Bavaria. I'm following your Channel since the beginning of your Porsche Projekt. I have a questioun about the cleaning of the oily and greasy parts outdoors.is there No Pollution of the Soil or groundwater possible? In Germany you get a fine for cleaning motorparts outdoors.
Back in the 90's I picked up a 62 Oldsmobile Super 88 with a 394 Skyrocket in it, man that car flew! Raced a Camaro once, chirped the tires in all the gears and blew his doors off at 4 different traffic lights!
Just love your video's keep them coming. Iam really fond of north and south Carolina and Tennessee I live in Kentucky but hoping soon to move to 1 of my 3 favorite states. Growing up myrtle beach was a 2 home I've been there on vacation at least 25 times. You live in a awsome state.
Wow a '62 with factory power windows, air conditioning, buckets/console! That is a very rare bird indeed!!! There are plenty of shops that will rebuild your master cylinder when there's no parts available. You'll just need to remove it from the car and ship it to them.
As a longtime aficionado of these full size early 60's Rockets, very curious what ever happened to it? (I've owned 6 of them) Noticed some sins committed, like ditching the Rochester 4GC carb. I'm sure the brakes are fixed by now, but a 1966 Cadillac DeVille master cylinder bolts right on and works great with just a few minor modifications. JT: Orlando. FLA
You two are great together I worked at muffler shops most of my Days I recommend copper ant i seize for brake parts grease will melt off with heat and where will that grease go yep Keep up good clean fun. God Bless Woody Joliet Illinois
Not a GM fan by any means BUT this car is classic American! Good luck with sourcing the parts you need. I hope it runs proudly! I morn the loss of the classic Detroit.
Do you know anybody with a paint booth that could paint that car for your uncle? Love to see that!! And woah, was that a 59 T-bird? Granddad is a cool car guy, I see where you got it from.
These are really nice cars and packed a powerful punch. Oldsmobile rocket v8 is nothing to mess with. Old cars are much more beautiful than the new stuff. Back when we built dreams and didn't destroy them
Why you would take that outside in the damp weather when it was as dry as could be in the garage?
Too bad they started to randomly take the paint of....for whatever reason. Would have been a great surviver otherwise
First thing I would want to do is protect the bare metal if its leaving that uber dry environment...
That interior is like a time capsule. It looks phenomenal.
Back when American cars were as beautiful inside as they were on the outside...
"A N D" That darn car was one of the best cars that GM ever made... I cannot remember any other car that could pass it... That sucker was truly a "ROCKET"... Olds could not have named a better name for that automobile...

Get that car in a garage STAT! Don't let that good metal go to rusting!!! O.O
Yall need to do vids with vicegrip garage that would make for some awesome content
Great stuff. I'd like a look round that garage. Some nice cars and stuff in there. Make a video on that and involve you're Grandad too. Get him to talk about the cars and history behind them. That would be cool. 👍
That model of Oldsmobile was probably the best looking car ever produced out of Detroit
Agreed. ‘57 chevys are overrated.
@Leopoldo Burgoa Your a jerk!.

Hello, I am a 63-year-old retired doctor. The car of my childhood. I am very happy with his work. Come easy. Greetings to you all from Turkey Izmir.
Those were good cars but they were crippled by the lousy Roto Hydramatics. A four spped would have been a great addition.
What about the VW beetle?They need love too..😊
grand father had a 62 holiday coup 394 two barrel, largest venturi i ever seen
Hi Michael, I just wanted to thank you for your great videos, they are improving all the time. Kind regards
FromMarcus in Pringle Bay in sunny South Africa. Keep it up my friend.
Boy you're digging out some good rides my friend. Love the work Micheal. Fantastic video as always and much love from Pickens buddy. 😀👍
I would not have pulled a bare metal car out into the rain with no protection.
I think the 62 Starfire was the most beautiful Olds ever made.
Those Starfires had some pretty neat interior features. For example, above the glovebox door was a panel with the Starfire script. This was edge lit by the dash lights circuit, so when you turned on the lights at night, the panel would glow and provide your passenger with a luminous advertisement of what car they were riding in!
I modified my 1964 Olds 98 panel with a backlight to do a similar thing.

Hey Mark! Thanks for reaching out to us! Mind emailing me at wagner.michael70@hotmail.com please!
Still got that?
One of the few guys who clean the top of the engine before attempt to run. GOOD JOB! :)
The inside of that Starfire is amazing!
Why after multiple references to the state of preservation due to the dryness would you take it out in in the rain with bare metal?
My thoughts exactly ☹️
Well worth restoring. Even if you have to do a disk conversion. Very nice well optioned car.
When you see something like this next to modern day motors, you appreciate it much more. Back in a time when cars were cars. Long live Detroit's memory.
Another great find! I love the original color!
I had a 62 Dynamic 88 4 door, no A/C but the engine was killer. Looked rough with the rust at the bottom of the door panels but I won many a stop light challenge with hopped up Novas and such. Good Times!

You can change the single brake master to a duel master cylinder it will work better and be safer.

When I was in 6 grade I remember a teacher who bought one new in 1961. This is a really cool car.
car spent many years in a SUPER dry garage,,,,, 25 yrs later, lets take it out in the RAIN!!!! just couldn't wait for a dry day.
Giving that 62 Oldsmobile is worth the restoration n a new transformation n a new paint color like silver as the base coat n a Red pearl Color for the exterior n 14 coats of Crystal clear sealer

The taillights remind me of the C5 vette's taillights haha. Sounded like you were making popcorn when you were airing that one tire up lol!
That face diaper kept that beautiful car from catching COVID.

Michael go back for the bug 😄
You and your dad are finding some cool cars .you are going a service to the classic car gods 😃
You should show the brake that is stuck not the one thats workimg

Between the Rocket 88 and the 442, this was the performance Olds to have.
I love that car
Beautiful, nothing is like the classics. Keep them comen.
I know it's not the same model but I can't help but think:
"Her name's Christine"
my dad drove a 62 ragtop, Back in the day, drinking and driving went hand in hand , so no reason to tell you how bad the hydro pole looked,
Our family owned a loaded mint 2 door 63 Oldsmobile Starfire hardtop, shiny black in color, wide white steel stripe trimmed with chrome on each side, red bucket seat interior and stick shift console with tachometer. That was a very kool vehicle in its day, still are a sharp looking vehicle.
Gorgeous car!
394 ultra high compretion
Great car , love it thanks.
Easiest 'barn find' resurrection yet? Shame about the brakes though. Suppose the good luck had to run out at some point on a vehicle that's been sitting for that long. Wish my old clunker would start that easily after sitting for even a year. Normally I have to soak the carb in cleaner overnight to unblock it's pores 😉

@@BudgetBuildz Well never say never ;)
Let's see the t bird 👍
I saw her, too. She looked in good shape.
A nice midsized sedan.
Will look good with a full restoration and a Continental tire kit. Not as long as my dad's 59 olds 98 Convertible, Rocket 394 with Continental kit, or his '63 Cadillac Fleetwood hardtop, but a nice two door car.

There must be 50 of these channels where guys are trying to start old cars and every one of them shows up with a half charged battery.
It’s a brand new battery. I have a couple of them. I used this one for our winch and had forgotten.
@@BudgetBuildz If you are gonna be in this business, take some time and build your self a simple cart with a big truck battery that can really crank old sticky engines. Don't waste time with an old fuel pump that has been sitting for 25 years- have a small fuel tank and electric pump as part of your cart.

Whoopee! A Starfleet. Hadn't seen one in years! Great video!
Starfleet was a Star Trek term.

Not a GM fan by any means BUT this car is classic American! Good luck with sourcing the parts you need. I hope it runs proudly! I morn the loss of the classic Detroit.
Do you know anybody with a paint booth that could paint that car for your uncle? Love to see that!! And woah, was that a 59 T-bird? Granddad is a cool car guy, I see where you got it from.
These are really nice cars and packed a powerful punch. Oldsmobile rocket v8 is nothing to mess with. Old cars are much more beautiful than the new stuff. Back when we built dreams and didn't destroy them
