    Not sure if the price is right, but check out these cute little Rotel monoblocks - https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ele/d/2-rotel-rmb-100-mosfet-mono/6581069612.html - $455 (why the extra five dollars?)

    Maybe they are an Oldsmobile nut?

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    I actually had that engine compartment in my 65 Olds Starfire. God, I wish I still had that car!

    My brother had some friends in high school (twin brothers) who bought themselves a 1962 Starfire. I remember it having the coolest dash and steering wheel. The glove compartment door was a plexiglass/plastic window of sorts with a unique shadowbox effect. :)

    The dash in mine was completely different. I think I owned a one of a kind, top of the line model, owned by an Olds dealer until I got it. It had 21 interior light I think. White leather and black carpet and back carpet lower door panels. Black dash top and then CHROME everywhere. B)

    But I like how you found pics of that 62 Starfires' interior and dash. ;)

    What you can do with Google Image Search is to type something in the search bar (Like: "1962 Oldsmobile Starfire dash"), and after you get a page of image results, just change the last digit in the model year and hit the ENTER key. You will get a new page of results. They may not all match the year you used, but there are usually enough correct results so you can track the changes year to year.

    It works great with cars because there are so many images from every year of just about every car made. Obviously, the more rare the car, the fewer accurate results per search. But it can be lots of fun for someone that loves vintage automobiles. :)

    I know we got off topic and I just wanted to post this final pic. or two.

    I did have a super NICE stereo in it that I installed myself. Speakers were inset on the kick panels and under the arm rests in the back seat. It was Awesome sounding till somebody stole it. :#

    I did search and found something close.
    My exhaust was routed to the rear side chrome panels like this pic shows. It's the first pic. I've seen of another olds having this.

    I think my dash and leather seats looked like this; 99.99% sure.

    But I didn't have a TACH from what I can remember. It's been a while.

    This is like my '77 LeSabre Estate. It had the 403 engine because my uncle wanted plenty of power to pull his boat up the ramp. :-) It once outran a 280ZX stick-shift driven by someone who knew how. He and the owner, who was a passenger at the time, were quite embarrassed by being outrun by a stock station wagon. LOL
    My uncle sold it to me for $600 cash in 1984-5, part of what I saved at my first job after college. (I didn't spend much, but couldn't pass on seeing Jerry Lee Lewis when he came to Meridian, Miss. where I was working. Saw the second show that night -- fan for life.)
    Yes, mine was also this brown. It had a hood ornament and whitewalls.

    That was part of the fun in the 60's and 70's, those family sedans could run with, and sometimes wallop the sports cars. We called them sleeper cars. Had an old Delmont 88, the precursor to the Delta 88. With a 425 engine that could lite up the tires for half a block and blew the doors off the Camaros of the same era. It was fun pulling up to a lite in a rust bucket and getting laughed at....until the lite turned green. :)

    They're supposed to be mounted on the sides and one below (optional of course) a wall mounted flat screen.

    Darn, that seems like a GREAT price too. And shipping only 60.00, come on. :pB)

    Hmm maybe I'll pick that up. I've got 12ga but wanted to upgrade to 18 or 22. That looks like it might be 22!

    Just double-up the 12 and you'll have 24. 24 is 2 more than 22, so that would be like 12 on the volume dial as opposed to 10. ROCK ON, BRUTHA!!! \m/

    Aged well to get that beautiful green patina that's so rare. Awesome. Nothing like the big 12 Ga. with that rare green patina.

    Yer pa is named "Tina"? Green? And a Martian to boot? Invading Earth with a 12 gauge? Man, Tony, you are too far out for me. Come on, group. Back to Squaresville. Back to the Sunset Strip. :p

    That's a fact! :D ^^^^^^^^^^

    I thought about giving a previously nice set of 12 Ga. patinaed wires to anybody who wanted them and then I came to my senses...The trash can got them instead. ;)
