Single-Family-Owned 1964 Oldsmobile Starfire Coupe

This 1964 Oldsmobile Starfire coupe was purchased new by the seller’s father and was refurbished in the early 2000s. Work included rebuilding the 394ci V8 and three-speed automatic transmission, refreshing the interior, overhauling the suspension and brakes, performing body repairs, and refinishing the car in blue. Additional equipment includes a dual exhaust system, vented fenders, quad headlights, a driver-side fender-mounted mirror, steel 14″ wheels, a VDO tachometer, woodgrain interior trim, a dash-mounted clock, and a push-button AM radio. This Starfire coupe is now offered with refurbishment records and a clean Nebraska title in the seller’s name.

The refurbishment included repairing the sheet metal, repainting the car in blue, replacing the weatherstripping and seals, and re-chroming the bumpers, grille, and trim. Exterior details include vented fenders, quad headlights, a driver-side fender-mounted mirror, bright lower-body cladding, and chrome bumpers. Corrosion is noted along the running boards.

Steel 14″ wheels with Oldsmobile-branded covers are mounted with Winston Winner G/T white-letter tires. The car is equipped with power steering and power-assisted drum brakes. The brakes and suspension were overhauled during the refurbishment.

A cabin refresh included reupholstering the seats in white vinyl as well as replacing the door panels and installing black carpets. Additional appointments include a dash-mounted clock, a push-button AM radio, woodgrain trim on the center tunnel, a locking glove compartment, and manual crank windows.

The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a horizontal-sweep 120-mph speedometer and a fuel level gauge. A VDO tachometer is mounted on the center tunnel ahead of the shifter. The five-digit odometer shows 36k miles, and total mileage is unknown.

The 394ci V8 was factory rated at 345 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque and was rebuilt in 2000. The engine is equipped with a Starfire-branded air cleaner cover, red cylinder heads and valve covers, and a dual exhaust system. The heater core was rebuilt as part of the refurbishment.

The three-speed automatic transmission was rebuilt as part of the refurbishment. Corrosion is present on underside components, and additional photos are provided in the gallery.

Decoding the vehicle number reveals the following information:

8 – V8 engine
6 – Starfire model
4 – 1964 model year
M – Lansing, Michigan, assembly plant
112420 – Sequential serial number

Several photos of the refurbishment process are provided in the gallery.
