What a beautiful car. I actually gasped when I saw it. That's unusual for me. Thank you guys for letting us tag along for the scenic ride, The surrounding are also very beautiful. So thank you both and the sellers for sharing.
You’re so welcome 😉 we all felt like this was just “meant to be” the whole time
This car (STARFIRE) was sold at Oldsmobile dealers in Ontario, most likely sold in B.C. as well. The side panels are aluminium with embossed lines and clear anodized. Without the correct panels it just isn't a starfire. The tail lights (4) is shared with the 98 model. The console and tack are shared with the 61 Starfire and the only change is where the power vent window switches are located. This is a nice car and in my opinion should be returned to it's original glory. Good luck with this project.
Makes me happy when I see younger car guys show interest in cars from this general time period.
Looks pretty solid too!
62 was one of several great years for GM.
(The Olds motors were popular for many of us drag racers in the 60’s)
I hope you have a great time owning it.
*CONGRATULATIONS ADAM* there's nothing better for a "car guy" than to have his Dream Car sitting in the garage, the hours spent working on your dream car becomes a pleasure, part of the experience and memories of ownership! Part of the family and treasured!

I would bet his car will never leave him until he leaves it
Just saw this. I'm 64 this was a childhood memory. Our neighbor had. A brand new '62 starfire. It had a certain smell inside. She was the naughty mother. Of the block. I rode in it many times. Remember the gear shift between the bucket seats. What a a beauty. The chrome panel on the car door😂
My grandfather had a new black 1962 Starfire convertible. As a young boy, I was a proud passenger.
When you said "dude, this thing is deadly" I felt that 2 provinces over. What a car!
Excellent looking car. Lansing home of Oldsmobile greetings to ya.
Yes man I just know the struggle it’s been for him to be dreaming of this exact car on the road for the entire time I’ve known him and to see it in this shape is just incredible
In Australia, indigenous Aussies use 'Deadly' as being the best choice you can make. Seems it translates to the other side of the World!
@@glennstatham960 That's deadly. Same goes for First Nations people up in Saskatchewan, Canada. 🤙🇦🇺🇨🇦
I really loved this video, I'm a car guy and just bought an old race car 1928 roadster in Palm Beach 5 hrs away from vegas, am working on it to ride better as is rides hard on even man hole covers as it was a bonneville car, but I love it love it. The money doesn't even matter, it's always the journey, I'm 81 and still fun, Jim las vegas nv I'really liked Adam show us more of his projects, thanks
My Dad had a 1962 Olds 98 which to my eyes was a huge car. I actually took my road test at 16 years old and passed. Three point parking was a bit nervous but with the power steering in that car I was able to ace it. I am 70 years old now but remember that experience. I loved that car.
My father bought a 1963 Starfire in Montreal directly from the dealer. It was my first car to love. Nothing like it . We never saw more then 3 of them the entire time we owned it.
My grandfather bought a new Olds 1962 Dynamic-88. White with blue vinyl interior and ac. It had a beastly 455 and turbo auto trans, and IIRC, 3.31 rear gears. It was a FLYER!!!!
Love it! It's a good deal when everybody is happy. Back story always helps. I'm restoring a car that has been in same family since 1972. You don't own it, you take care of it until the next one. 😊✌️
That’s right we are just caretakers. Nothing is forever
That is a roadtrip !
Thanks for showing Canada
Another great video. My dad had a 64 Dynamic 88 and then a 66 Delta 88 with the 425 and posi. When my wife and I were first married(78) we had a 67 442. A guy followed me home down MacLeod trail in Calgary and offered me twice what I'd paid. Like a dummy I sold it🙄. Really enjoy all your videos. Thanks for taking the extra time to video, edit and post. Play safe..
In the early 60s, that was my dream car. I got to ride in a convertible, and it was like being on another planet. A beautiful design, right down to every detail of the interior.
My dad came home one afternoon with a new 62 Oldsmobile 98, yellow with black interior, loved how the bar on the speedometer, I remember seeing it turn red on the interstate 😂
That summer we drove from Southern California to Ohio.
this is heartwarming 😊.. I feel a bit bitter when a car like this (part of someone's life maybe for decades) is sold, but now I tend to understand this 'not owning, but caretaking' mindset and yes, that helps vanish the sorrow part.
Love road trips. Nice car too. You guys had a ball by the looks of it. Billy J... Queensland, Australia.
Super rad car!! Even better it’s from my hometown!! Born raised and still live in Spokane!!!
Hey Karl, my son found a 51' Starlight Coupe he wants to buy but I told him I could graft a bullet nose grill into his 62' Karmann Ghia and he wasn't too enthused. Osoyhoos is great. I have played golf there many times. Usually after playing the Oroville tourney. We used to stay at a friends place on our (U.S.) side in Veranda Beach.
Wow. A trip down memory lane. My brother had a Silver Convertible which he kept pristine.
What a great deal that you were able to help that guy. That can be a lonely highway. I know, because I had a knockoff wheel loosen and nearly depart from my Corvette on that road, and it took a lot of searching to find the spinner meant to secure the wheel.
Ironically, I used to check the spinners with a lead hammer at every gas stop, but I guess that windy road put enough stress on the wheels, that one came loose.
Great road trip vid! Our 2 granddaughters are in Coquitlam and we live about 4 doors from Gord and Barb so we do that trip lots!
Gord has told me about the car but Id never seen it only his 64 convert.
Like was said the car was waiting for that man! And as he said "happy to be the next caretaker"
As a 48 year caretaker of a 64 Comet I truly understand wanting the right person to be the next caretaker!
Fred
It's super cool that you're local, I've seen this car on Facebook marketplace for a while, and now it's on youtube!
I presently have a 1962 Olds Super 88 Holiday Coupe. All original, works great mint shape. I purchased the car in British Columbia as well. And it was shipped from the states.
Nice car
This was my second car when I was 16 loved it then and still do.
Please post updates on your progress. I wish you lots of luck. What a lucky find. I'd also like to see the other 62 Oldsmobile cars you have.
My high school car was a '62 Starfire! I sold it when I was a Senior in college. 394 cu in, Rotohydromatic, Chrome everywhere! I loved that car. Cost $520 when I bought it in 1968! Lot's of memories! The aluminum side panels are a must. The original hubcaps were even cool! Mine was metallic blue. Love this car (except for not having the ribbed aluminum sides! The trunk could fit like 6 people in it!
How cool is that for a high school ride?!
@@MakeItKustom BEST DATE CAR EVER!
My mom and dad had a 1963 Oldsmobile Starfire when we lived in Toronto. Wonderful car and I believe it had a 394ci motor. I do know that it could move pretty quickly due to extensive research.
Some times "research" is needed LOL.
Cars makers today will never come close to the styling the automakers had back in the 50s and 60s. Beautiful car!!!
Its even getting harder to see the differences between manufactures today as most of the cars & SUVs on the road are looking the same.
My buddy had a 1961 convertible, loved that car...
My late eldest brother had one of these and he loved that car. He named her White Fang.
Karl I've had a 62 Olds 98 a 62 Olds 88 and a 61 Cutlass..a 55 Olds...needless to say I like Oldsmobile....that is a nice 62...In 62 Olds had a394 cubic inch with a 4 speed hydromatic trans....they will do 120 pluss no problem...great cars
I love these old Oldsmobiles! I sold a super solid 62 dynamic 88 2dr ht last year and hated myself for it. Just recently bought an even cleaner(and drivable!) 63 dynamic 88 holiday 4dr ht car. It's on air ride and superior wheels. Keeping it old school, for sure.
What a beautiful car! I love the tail lights and if I had a choice between it and an Impala I would choose the Olds.
When I was around 14yo, my dad picked up a 1961 Oldsmobile 2dr hard top(bubble back window) from a friend of his as an addition to his 1957 Oldsmobiles at the time. We played with it for a few years and took it to Oldsmobile shows along with the 57 Olds Super 88 convertible(original J2 tripower option) and 57 Olds 88 2dr ht(3sp column shift with added J2). That was in the 1990s and since then my dad has passed away and we got rid of all of his cars except for two.... the 1957 Oldsmobile 88 two-door hardtop and an all original 1933 Plymouth 2 door coupe that my dad actually used to ride in when he was a child.
Thanks for putting out such awesome content! I'm glad I took the chance and clicked on your video that one day cuz you show actual Hands-On content.... not just magically coming up with a part and installing it like a lot of other channels do! You definitely know your craft and it shows in your work!
Thanks a lot man I really appreciate it! Sounds like you guys had a lot of amazing cars growing up! I agree about the Oldsmobile an impala
Oh man What beauty! I cant wait to see it in person Adam. Nothing better than a good road trip with friends and a great story to tie it all together. Great episode! Kristina, Karl, & Adam you guys rock.
Thanks Matt and Jenny! Hopefully it makes the ride up to cawston for the car show
what a beautiful old Oldsmobile! What a clean old car! WOW! The 60's and early 70's is when all the really nice cars came out! That car is probably like a tank; you could drive it through a wall and just keep moving down the road! You get on the highway with that old car and cruise! What an awesome old car. I was born in 66, so I grew up riding around in some nice old cruisers. Dad used to like buying the Buick Electra 225. I remember we had a couple of 4 door sedans, and once, when I was around 6 or 7, he bought a Buick Electra 225 station wagon, and we done some road trips in it and went to some of the lakes up North Like Desoto Ben Lake, which I think is a national wild life reserve. they were big and so easy to ride in!
Man the Electra station wagon would be so rare these days
@@MakeItKustom You never know when something your parents drove you around in back it the 70's would come to be something rare! The back seat folded down, so it was so convenient for me and my 2 sisters to take a long road trip back there with a foam mattress and a blanket laid over it, and then when we camped at the lake, we could sleep back there with the window down and even the back door. Electra 225 was definitely a great model for Buick! I have a couple fun memories from that for sure!
This young man's metal skills are high level. I like how he often does it the hard old way rather than an easier way with new tool, so us without can mimic.
Wow, what a great find. To find a car that old that well preserved is rare and the model, this is the top of the line Olds for that year, a luxury model for them. What a cool car. Hope it gets the best treatment.
My second viewing, it’s such a happy excited road trip and the Oldsmobile Starfire is so 1962! She’s a beauty.
I love the glass, stainless steel trim all around, it's just gorgeous. Been many years since I saw one of those. That is such a beautiful car, I easily understand Adam's passion for it. I love the stove in the shop you got it in, I think I have to do something similar for a heat exchanger, never seen one quite like that. I really like the video of the road trip back, it's just a beautiful look at western Canada. Thanks!
Couldn’t agree more with all the sentiments expressed in this video. Beautiful looking car. Congrat’s to Adam.
You're a good friend for helping your brother.
Holy Moley that is a sweet machine!! They have so much more character than an Impala. Crazy that it shares an X-frame with my `59 Biscayne. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Seattle!
Yeah I definitely love the not so main stream models. So much style in this tide
Such a Humble Dude
I live in New Jersey. When we were kids , I would see these cars all the time. I never thought you could hotrod an Olds. Man, was I wrong. Great car!
Unique Olds. What a fun project.
Bad ass ride bro only thing I would chanyr tha wheels other then that its a tight ass ride💪🏾👊🏽
Nothing gets the juices flowing like picking up a new to you car. Thanks for the trip! 👍
My grandfather had a convertible Starfire back in the day. It was sold before I was born so I never got to see it but what a cool car it was.
I'm originally from Spokane I seen this car on the road report was born and raised there it's like a flashback so cool to see it on TH-cam
1961 and 62 Gm,s most beautiful hardtops ever!
Helll Yeah!! I'm also a huge Olds Rocket aficionado, albeit 1964 full size models(6 in my past) There is a terrific Olds Starfire FB group, which he may already belong to, but either way super helpful bunch of guys. If he needs any help with the engine, hit me up.
P.S. unless you are going to do air bags, don't touch the suspension. It looks great just the way GM designed it and those springs and shocks ride like a dream. I chopped the springs on my '64 Starfire, to look cool and I regretted it. Thanks for sharing.
Also, you live in such a beautiful part of the world!! Miss going to Canada with the race teams I worked for.
JT: Orlando, FLA
not an Olds fan; but THAT is a car to kill for. Congratulations and enjoy.
my mother had a 63 starfire i learned to drive in hers was black with brown leather i love the paint combo on yours fast car with that 394 ultra high compression engine yours is a beauty
1962 Olds w/ 394 cid engine, powerful car one of my favorites,
Great Video. Thanks
Love the road trip..
a starfire is one of my bucket list cars. love an Olds.
What a beautiful Oldsmobile Adam scored well 😍 👍 .
This was a REAL feel good video. Thanks for sharing.
Can't go wrong with an Oldsmobile, that is one sweet ole ride.
Thanks for sharing this awesome story. What a beautiful car guy's.
If you are travelling thru the Okanogan, stop into Nixdorf Car Museum in Summerland B.C.. Some restrictions as far as opening times/dates. Lots of 50's and 60's Oldsmobiles. MIght be a good resource for hard to find parts.
Karl, love the videos. I also admire your skills and upbeat personality. Too bad it's around 2,500 miles from where I live to BC, it's beautiful up there. Great to have our car buddies and do road trips. Take care !
Just like an old caddy ,the chrome trim is worth more than the rest of the car. She is a beauty !
Really like the Oldsmobile my favorite car. Had a 65, 66, 90 and 93.
Crazy detail went into those ! Great to see , thanks for sharing this
In 1965 my parents had two of them . One was white on white with red trim convertible the other one was all black hard top with red trim . They were my parents favorite cars. Unfortunately in Ma. They rotted out over time and were sold .
I did a turn and burn from AB to BC last week myself,19 hours by myself picking up a wood boiler :) AND,I also am a oldsmobile fan,got a 1971 cutlass S
Nice 71 cutlass! Dang that’s a long drive by yourself
Great video and amazing story. Thanks for this. Rob (up north)
Thats cool rad...😍
Im happy for your friend,
By the way everytime i see the cab over at the background i feel excited about that💕💕💕💕
Wow that is a 1 really clean Olds I only owned 1 in my life I was always into chevelles and novas but I bought a 71 442 Olds in the 80s it was a very solid car it was pretty much a classy chevelle I loved that car would love to find another one as solid. Great video Karl. Have a great weekend
Love the car! Love the story! I have a 63 Starfire in not as good of shape as this 62. Mine needs a complete redo on the interior . Good luck with it, and if you want to do more videos while working on it.....I'm ALL IN!
Beautiful car! It reminds me of my first car, a '63 Pontiac Laurentian. Mine was 4 door,6 cyl ,2 speed auto but great memories. Good luck with her.
Wow great cruiser. 👌 that color combo is great. I like the fluted side delete and that 70's custom style can be achieved with a little 70's style candy lace patterns down the side of that phat blue stripe. Maybe a little something on the roof as well. Change the rims with an attitude adjustment. Find the electrical gremlins and get it on the road for a cruise.
I WANT TO SEE MORE OF THIS CAR!!! What a magnificent machine
That Olds is absolutely beautiful! The more I watch you hanging out with friends doing cool car stuff, the more I have a strange urge to move to BC...
Nice old Olds. I can attest to their cruzablity. My 2 dr super 88 was a 1 owner 43k mile gem with working AC and loaded with power every thing. I sold it 30 plus years ago.
Quite the car. The designers back in the day sure had vision. Adam found a gorgeous car!
Great video, Karl. Thoroughly enjoyable.
They built Olds an hour south of me in Lansing Michigan. We always had an Olds in drive.
Awesome! Working on a 62 Olds F85 right now
Beautiful Oldsmobile Starfire Karl!!!!! What a nice trip that was for you guys. Thanks again for sharing.
That's a beautiful area you live in. Thanks for sharing that part of it!
You don't see new cars that just look that cool! I normally hate two tone paint jobs. That one I think looks perfect!!
Never see this car... Beauteful. Nice travel... Happy for him.
Bruno from France.
Beautiful car. I drove a 1969 Delta 88 all through high school. I tried to find one a few years ago to no avail but did find a 1963 Galaxie 500 though. These land yachts look stellar on the ground. I’m with Carl, slam it, Adam!
In Chicago you could get killed by helping someone! I know from experience. It happened to a friends brother. I would like to live in Canada! That car is a great find. I used to do the transmissions on that model car. Two speed. Supper turbine 300. Nice video Karl.
I have had 2 , 1955 olds ,a 61 cutlass,a 62 ,98 and a 62 ,88
My parents also had Oldsmobiles,
My dad had two 54s,and my mom had a 62 88 ,and a 67 cutlass
Sweet car and great you were able to help someone along the road.
OLDSMOBILE IS QUALITY AND TORQUE....GREAT RIDE.
What a great car and a great story. Thank you for your time.
You are blessed Adam, as a kid I always identified the Oldmobile as the car that rides really smooth. That car's bodylines are so unique and man is it straight. Congrats!!!
Wow so pristine had one in the 70's drove so smooth suspension (coil ) and sounded great
My high school buddy had a 62 Starfire, maroon with matching interior. He claimed that the speedo would flip over to white after 120mph... great highway car.
What no mention of those bad ass tail light shaped exhaust tips!? Great car, hes gonna love it and make memories with his daughter :-)
Great looking car. Love the interior color. Bet your buddy can’t wait to shine her up.
Miss those days. Friends and road trips
WOW What a nice example of an Olds Starfire.
What a beautiful country Karl yous are blessed
The 60s was a magical time for US car design and variety. Chevys are nice but there was so much more!
