Following the sweet success of the inaugural year Starfire, the ’62 line up now also featured a hardtop. Priced at $4,131, the Starfire Convertible had a multitude of standard equipment including all the features of the Super Eighty-Eight as well as attractive brushed aluminum side panels, a sporty cockpit featuring bucket seats, leather upholstery, floor console with a tachometer and power-operated seats. Befitting its status, the Starfire was powered by a 394 cubic inch V-8 engine with 345 brake horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque, courtesy of a Rochester four-barrel carburetor, 10.5:1 compression, a revised camshaft profile, an efficient combustion chamber design, and a free-flowing dual exhaust system.

This exceptional Starfire is largely original and shows 96,586 miles on the odometer. It has been very well-preserved with quality trim and brightwork that shines brilliantly in the absence of pitting. Similarly, the engine bay is quite original and is home to a factory air conditioning system, power brakes and power steering. The passenger compartment is noted to be very appealing with the unique Starfire appointments, as well as an AM radio with power antenna, power top activation switch and power windows. With the collectors now seeking originality over restoration, this Starfire has been worth the wait.
