Vehicle Description
Performance, luxury, and a truly unique presentation - we already
know why you're attracted to this 1963 Oldsmobile Starfire. After
all, with the high compression 394 V8 under the hood, loaded A/C
interior, and a truly unique presentation, this is an all-around
stunner that's turn-key ready for you right now.
The Starfire's original mission was to be Oldsmobile's large
personal luxury machine with plenty of boastful detail. That's why
it has such a standout presence even in its refined and
factory-correct color of Cirrus Blue. But what really makes this
generation Starfire so memorable is the bright work. Those hallmark
sweeping sides will draw the crowds in from across the show field,
and they highlight just how straight the bodywork is on this drop
top. But this classic is so much more. Olds proved even in the
mid-60s that it was the best at integrating bumpers into the sheet
metal design. And then you see the details, like the turbine style
wheels with hints of blue, and the sharp trim line that starts
right after the doors and helps to create a hint of tailfin. So
while the standout side trim will draw in attention, it's all the
unique elements that make up a top-of-the-line Starfire that will
keep people talking.
Beneath the white roof is a white interior, so you get a great
color coordination with the light blue no matter if the top is on
or off. As we've mentioned before, this was the true upper-class
Olds, and so few were willing to pay the premium. There were less
than 4,500 produced in '63 (and just imagine how many survived to
be this complete today.) So it came with some rare features as
standard. This includes desirable items like leather seating, power
adjusting front buckets, and the bright center console with the
unique tach mounted in the center. Spanning the entire width of the
car, the dashboard houses everything from the extra-long
speedometer to all the essential bright knobs and buttons - and you
can see it all easily thanks to the thin dual-spoke factory
steering wheel. You might have noticed that this Starfire has
plenty of room to carry family and friends, but you can have fun in
this car all on your own. After all, with features like a power
convertible top and power windows, you never even have to leave the
driver's seat to go from enclosed luxury to a wind-in-your-hair
experience.
The big gun in Oldsmobile's arsenal was the "Ultra High
Compression" 394 cubic-inch V8. It's neatly detailed with a big air
cleaner and correct decals, and the red motor underneath looks like
it's radiating power from within the dark engine bay. The dual
exhaust even offers a hit of this power without being too
boisterous. In fact, that's the full Olds experience. It has a nice
cruiser-level ride with the versatile Roto-Hydramatic automatic
transmission. Plus, the power steering and power brakes were part
of a package designed to make this a care-free driving
experience.
With power and poise, this Starfire is truly a fantastic droptop
that people rarely see on the vintage car scene today. So if you're
ready for real distinction, call today!
