1985.5 ESi Flatty Love


Recommended Posts

I've had a few different Quests' that i claimed were keepers but i really think i'll hold onto this one for a while :lol: 1985.5 Starion ESi :D For those who don't know, the 85.5's are factory intercooled 5 lug cars which are basically identical to an 86' fatty without the flared fenders. Thanx to Nikofab for posting the link, this car was in Nebraska at a Ford dealer. After a couple emails and a phone call i put down a deposit on this one owner, bone stock jewel and made the schlep. it was everything it was supposed to be ;) Everything works except the cruise control and the power antenna. The original owner surely loved this car because it was well taken care of and drives beautifly. All i've done was polish the factory wheels and clean it. I do plan on changing the exhaust ( it's somewhat clogged cats is choking it and seconday cat ratteling against the mount is making me :wacko: ) to a 2.5" with a Hooker Aero Chamber muffler, fixing the cruise control and power antenna. One day it'll get a repaint of the x56 color and a cleanup under the hood. It's been my DD since the day i brought it home :) ...yes, i can still drive a 5 speed :P
