Two 1965 Starfires with two donor/parts cars.

STARFIRE #1 is a very low and oddly optioned car.

Rare, one of about 120 hard tops ordered with a Muncie 4speed

(this number came from a reliable source)

Protect-o-plate verifies that this car came with a 360 hp non 's' suffix 425

(literature shows Starfires came standard with an 's' suffix 370 hp 425)

Custom Sport Wheel Discs

(comes with 6 wheel covers and 13 spinner hubcaps)

QA 2.79 open rear end

Mojave Mist exterior with Fawn ALL vinyl interior

(literature shows Starfires came standard with leather interior)

Dark Fawn 4speed console, rear light area is not broken (yet)

Tach on console

crank windows

n.o.s left door mirror in box

no a/c

power brakes and steering, vacuum trunk release, am radio

windshield washer

new front brake cylinders and hoses

very straight body with minor rust issues, has new tires, stored inside since 2001

frame is shot, but have a good frame under both Deltas

current South Dakota plates and title.

Have never tried to start(exhaust rotted off) engine turns over with key good compression

PARTS NEEDED FOR CORRECT RESTO-

correct shifter, it has a nice Hurst in its place now

correct antenna

rear bumper needs replaced or fixed

correct radiator, it has a recon auto tranny cooler rad now

STARFIRE #2 is not far from being a driver. have title

Console with tach

GOOD rear bumper

Burgundy Mist exterior with Dark Red Leather interior

Idaho car, body about as rust free as you will find. Has dent in left door and quarter panel that someone started to pull

has new exhaust front to back, new shocks, new brake cylinders and hoses.

windsheild is cracked but have one on the donor car

could use a better deck lid (underside is rusty at rear)

(guessing $2500 - $3000 to put on road nicely)

I figure between parts and scrap values I have over $7500 worth of stuff here but I could not do that to such a rare 4speed Starfire and a nice auto Starfire

If you like these big cruisers, here is a good opportunity for you.

I would like to get $6000 out of all of it but like everything, that is negotiable. Not a very motivated seller, just afraid I will never get to them. Would like to sell as one package but may sell each Starfire (and its related parts) in two packages.

You arrange shipping unless you are real close to zip 57004.

Pictures available upon request but I suggest you come and look at them. Located in SE South Dakota

PM me if seriously interested. I will send photos per request.

NADA gives both cars a low retail of just over $13000, avg of $27000 and high of $42000+. I am not suggesting they will ever be worth $40g's but if you do a lot of your own work and invest (realistically) about $15500 all said and done,

you will have a very nice pair of Starfires, both quite unique by there level of trim and options.
