Hi Bill, I'm aware of the diecast version. They really did an excellent job of recreating the '62 Starfire in miniature.

What a machine!! I always loved the GM "convertible roof" 2 door hardtops, and the Olds is one of the best!! I assume it's got the Rocket V8 and Hydra-Matic...I bet it's a blast to drive, when you plant that right foot into the Rocket engine!!

I've got a '69 Corvair Monza sport coupe as my daily driver (it's the blue one on YouTube)...there's nothing like a vintage car to get maximum "smiles to the gallon!" Awesome Oldsmobile...enjoy!!!

The '62 Starfire was equipped with a 394ci/345hp engine as standard equipment. A true muscle car for '62. The compression ration is 10.5 to 1.

My Starfire is a daily driver like your Corvair Monza. Like many classic car enthusiasts I much prefer this to any new car on the market. I'm glad to hear you drive and enjoy your Corvair every day.

Nice Oldsmobile, man.

The first time I've seen those rear light clusters. Are they custom or standard fit?

I'm accustomed to the '64 model year clusters.

The four tail light grouping was standard equipment on the Starfire and 98 Oldsmobiles in '62. I think they're kinda cool myself. Thank you.

Beautiful looking car. Oldsmobile made the best looking cars in 1962 and 1964.

...very nice...

Is that color "Garnet" ? My Grandad had a 61 Dynamic 88 2 door in Garnet with red interior. It was probably considered pretty racey for a small town Dr. back in the early 60's. The memory of that car really stuck with me. Very nice car

I remember someone in my neighborhood had one when I was a kid. I always thought those were cool tailights.

[towringer]

I wa born in '64 and I remember seeing these cars around in 1970. I used to call them Beech-Nut cars because the oval taillights reminded me of the Beech-Nut Gum logo. Hey, I was 6 at the time.

my folks bought a new starfire in 62. it was white with red enterior. only got to drive it a little as i was 16 in 65, and they traded for a new 98 in jan 66. was an awesome car then and still is. 1st car i ever saw that wasnt a sports car that had a factory tach, even if it was in an unhandy place on the console. ur car ROCKS
