I have a Speedstar kit here that I picked up end-March of this year and have seen the 33 hot rod up close in person on several occasions so I can probably speak to any questions you have about the difference between the two body styles.
IMO the key differences:
- chopped roof
- roof and body come as one piece
- hood top and sides extend all the way back to the windshield base

1st Speedstar in Canada 31 March 2023.
Built by me 302 engine, AOD trans, 3.55 IRS.
The 33 doesn't come with a hood or side panels, the Speedstar does. If you want them on the 33 it is an extra $1450. As Earl stated the Speedstar has the roof as part of the body. To get the removable top for the 33 it will cost you an extra $2350.
So, a 33 with hood, side panels and hard top is more than a Speedstar.
But, I wouldn't look at the price differences and get the kit configured the way you want it.
