Vehicle Description
Power, luxury, and a unique presentation - we already know why
you're attracted to this 1964 Oldsmobile Starfire. After all, the
high compression 394 V8 under the hood, a nice bucket seat
interior, and a value price make it all-around irresistible. And as
you check out all the details, you can see a total package that was
made to be a real cruiser.
The Starfire's original mission was to be Oldsmobile's large
personal luxury machine. That's why it has such a standout presence
outfitted in a classy black. This is a clean and complete
presentation that has a driver-quality and driver-ready style. So
it's a great cruiser. And we love the little things, like the
elegant lines of the hardtop profile and classic wire wheel covers
with Oldsmobile badge. Plus, what really makes this generation
Starfire so memorable is the brightwork. Olds proved even in the
mid-60s that it was the best at integrating bumpers into the sheet
metal design. And there are also terrific full-length details, like
the finned rockers and a sharp trim line that starts right after
the headlights and doesn't stop until it creates a hint of a
tailfin.
The black interior was refreshed later in life, and it has a great
premium sense of style. After all, a black exterior with a black
interior makes this the kind of car you'd see the boss driving. So
it's great to leave all the windows down on this pillarless hardtop
to really show it all off. And it's quite easy to do thanks to the
power windows. It's part of a full premium feature package. This
includes other factory items like front bucket seats and a center
console with tach. This is joined by nice cruiser upgrades like
tinted windows and an AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input. We're even
told there was a newer investment in the air conditioning system,
but it will likely need the blend doors serviced before blowing
cold again. There's plenty of room for family and friends, but a
personal cruiser is also about making the driver a priority. You
feel it in the features like the grippy steering wheel, tilt
column, and the way the speedometer dominates the full dash.
The big gun in Oldsmobile's arsenal was the "Ultra High
Compression" 394 cubic-inch V8. This has the correct style with a
big air cleaner, correct decals, and a four-barrel carburetor. It
has a very honest style, but there were also newer investments like
the timing chain and radiator. The V8 warns up to be a robust
powerhouse, and it has a nice cruiser-level ride with the
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power
brakes.
The value price leaves room in your budget if you want to upgrade
the full cruiser nature, like adding a fuel injection system,
polishing the brightwork, or restoring the air conditioning. But
from day one, there is an irresistible sense of road-owning style
in this big vintage cruiser. Call today!!!
