Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Spinner wheel covers, power steering, power brakes, power windows, skirts, whitewalls, WonderBar radio, Autronic Eye, continental kit.

Condition

Sound paint and interior. Some weak trim chrome, especially in the interior. Seats have been redone but the interior trim fits poorly. Inside rearview mirror is missing. The quality of the restoration is showing in the way it's coming apart.

Market commentary

There is much visibly wrong with this Starfire, and no telling what else might be similarly deficient. It is a sign of astute risk analysis that the Auburn bidders left lots of headroom at this price for resolving unknown, but not unexpected, problems.
