This model, the Starfire Hardtop Coupe joined the convertible for the 1962 model year. They shared many bits of sheetmetal with other GM cars and they went unappreciated, so not a lot of them are left on the road.

This one comes with the smaller 394 engine, a 6.5-liter V8 motor, which used a 4-barrel Rochester carburetor and generated 330 hp. However, don’t expect this two-ton beast to really shift along, because it’s got a 3-speed automatic box.

The seller says that both the engine and the gearbox have been rebuilt and everything is in working order on the car.

If you’re not looking for a muscle car and are taken with the silver/black body, it will make you a happy man, provided you’ve got the the $18,500 that the selling is asking on this eBay auction.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
