This 1964 Oldsmobile Starfire Convertible was purchased new by Army Sgt. Stephen J. Zapcic in Elizabethtown, KY on 9/19/1964. He retired and drove the car back to his hometown of Hershey, PA. Over the course of 4 years, he put 54,775 miles on it and then sold it to his brother-in-law, Paul S. Epler, on 10/28/1968. Paul used the car for show and parades only until gifting it to his son, Frank M. Epler, on 1/7/1984. Frank also used the car for show and parades only. Frank died in June 2001 and left the car to his wife, Edith S. Epler, who kept it in storage until her death in 2010. A local dealer in VA Beach had given his business card to Frank Epler years prior at a car show in Hershey, saying he’d like to buy the car if he ever wanted to sell it. Frank declined the offer, but kept the business card in the car’s glove box. When Edith died, the estate lawyer found the card and sold the car to the dealer. One month later, 5/2011, the VA Beach dealer sold the car to an individual in Virginia who kept the car for years. The car now resides in a prominent car collection in Eastern NC. Mileage is documented by service records and a hand written diary by both Paul and Frank. However, the title does read exempt. Purchase will include the factory build sheet, dealer invoice, protect-o-plate, miscellaneous service records, registration cards from 1968 to 2011, service diary and a hand written statement from previous Virginia owner. Factory options include: Tilt-away steering wheel, cruise control, deluxe radio, electric antenna, deck lid power lock release, back-up lamps, door-edge guards, custom wheel discs, deluxe front retractable seat belts, tinted windshield glass, vacuum door locks and air conditioning.
