For Sale: 1961 Oldsmobile Starfire in Island Lake, Illinois

Vehicle Description

1961 Oldsmobile Starfire Original / Unmolested Survivor

The 1961 Starfire was designed by Oldsmobile to be GMs challenge to the Ford Thunderbird in the personal luxury car market. This 1961 Starfire sold for $1000 more than the 1961 Corvette. It has 330HP, which was more than the highest rated Corvette offing that year.

Fully Loaded power steering, brakes, windows, driver seat, antenna. Working factory AC unit updated to accept R34,, charged with 4.5# and blows cold.

This car was in a private collection and not driven regularly for years  Since owning it I have:

Rebuilt the Rochester 4GC, put in a new fuel pump, rebuilt the Harmonic balancer, pressure tested, flushed the radiator and cooling system, replaced the Power brake booster and master cylinder from the correct '63/64 one that was on the car to the correct 1961 parts. Put in a new battery and heavier battery cables.

Terms: Bank transfer (preferred) or Cash. Car will be released after conformation of successful transfer, which may be next or several if done on a Friday. Cash deal will happen in my bank by appointment M-F during normal business hours. This is for the comfort and safety of both parties. 

Trades: I would up trade for a GEN1 Corvette 1957 to 1960, must be running, drivable, street legal condition, NO PROJECTS. Also interested in a Glenn Pray Auburn Boattail speedster with original drive train.
