The 1962 Starfire was purchased in August of 1999 without looking at the car in person. The previous owner sent a very detailed videotape and, after we came to an agreement, It arrived from New York City via a special car carrier which holds up to 6 cars on two levels inside a covered trailer. The cars are loaded using hydraulically operated ramps. I have the original paperwork on the car which was bought in Michigan and then immediately taken to Arizona where it spent many years. In the early 1990's the car was brought east to Syracuse, NY and subsequently ended up in Flushing, NY. The car is all original, although some areas of paint have been touched up and I think the engine has been detailed. The only thing I have to do to this car is figure out the vacuum operated heater/vent system which is now disconnected. The Starfire has won several 2nd place trophies.
