“Makes you
master of all you survey!” According to the sales brochure
I bought
this car in 2014 from the Bullock Collection Auction in Grant Nebraska. Noel Bullock took this car in on trade in the
early 70’s. To his recollection, it was
loaded as much as a car could get in those days. We cleaned out the fuel system, and got the
car running. It now starts, shifts and
moves on its own. I can’t really tell if
the tranny might be slipping or not, as there is no muffler and still no
brakes.
The car is
very complete with all side trim present. Starfire fender emblems are removed.
One has pins missing.
The exterior
body is solid with mostly surface rust. The rear quarters are rusted out behind the rear wheels, and a little on
top of the wheels. I have 2 rear
quarters cut out from a 62 Buick, which can be used as patch panels. The passenger door is hung up with a sprung
hinge or something. Will need repair. Side vent window broken out. Drivers door
window is rusted at the bottom frame. I have a new repro piece for that window.
Side and back glass good. Windshield has
a loop crack above the rearview mirror.Trunk and floors are solid.
The interior
is in need of replacement, and will be supersharp when redone in black and
silver. Factory buckets, console, floor
shift, tachometer. The carpet actually
has stainless strips tacked into the “feet” areas!
Will come
with all original 14” rims and roller tires (14 or 15’s)
This is a
great RARE, in factory Black. I have
only ever known of one other of these cars, owned by a body and paint man in
Calif, and the car drew crows where ever he went…and that was 15 years
ago. When did you last see one?
I’d love to
keep it, but I can not do the work myself, and I need to make room. Here is
your chance.
Car is
offered no reserve
I have a 62
Olds Dynamic 88, that can be purchased as a parts car by successful buyer of
thee Starfire. I am driving the 88. I have installed a 4bbl carb and manifold on
it. It has a nice interior, runs great
with 55, 000 miles on it. Its got a rusty Minnesota body. No wipers or heater
controls working. NOS 14” tires. $2500.
