    Nice colors inside and out. Don't like the fender skirts, but all but the price is nice.

    It's gorgeous. Dad had a 62 Starfire coupe this same color when I was like 5 or so. It was gorgeous too.

    But is it a phantom? I can find no evidence of a 62 Starfire wagon, only c9oupe and convertibles. Krash? :D

    Appears to be a phantom, but who cares. Beautiful, I would just lose the fender skirts. Out of my budget, but not totally unreasonable in today’s market.

    I agree, I don't care if it is a "one of none" car, it is very well done. I was just looking to confirm whether or not is was a factory offering. I also agree on the skirts, I've never been a fan but to each their own.

    I like skirts when they were a factory offering, and they look good on the car. Not a big fan of these skirts cause the open molding contour doesn’t lend itself to a skirt. Pretty car though. The Skirts would hang in the garage

    Yes, a 'phantom' if you will. I've seen pics of this one before - even have one stored in my computer already. Don't know anything about it though.

    This certainly deserves a better write-up than it's getting in Craig's List........ Should at least be on B-A-T.
