jtoneil Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 My SS sold and I'm ready to buy a starquest again! Willing to spend up to 10k(maybe a little more) on a super clean car. Heavy mods or light it doesn't matter to me. Distance isn't a real issue, I'll pay for shipping for the right car. I've owned three of these in the past and I was a member of the original boards so please don't bs me. My SS is being delivered Thursday so I can move on the right car as soon as next weekend. This should be fun. Let's see what you've got! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtoneil Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Why not repost somethying like "10K FOR A SUPER CLEAN STARQUEST SO WHATCHA GOT???" Then they should start streaming in... Got some decent replies so far but I may try that. Burtons is sweet, and antitrust is amazing. I would by that in a heartbeat. Why did michael knight mean by its probably to late? I have some old starquest buddies that tell me I'm crazy but I've always said when I had the money I would do this. I just need a clean platform to start from and look out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael knight Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) Click this link and read. It is currently pending sale, not sold yet though. Also, he wants at least 6500 for it and figures it would be more profitable and easier to liquidate by parting it out. Send him a PM if your interested. My only advice is to make sure the car you buy is well sorted out and has a good reputation. Link: http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=94917 Here's a trick. When you see a car you like go to that users profile. Then click on that users started topics. You will be able to review all threads started by that user. It will give you a good idea of the known issues with the car and its history. Hope this helps! Good luck.

I grant you, it's not wild, it's not in your face, but it will start every last time you hit the key, and take you anywhere you want to go. It's a very smooth car, I have tried to make it as much like the original as possible but better. It's a Grand Touring car, with extremely smooth, quiet power, and only one interior rattle that I know of, and it's coming from the sunroof deflector hitting the glass on occasion. Point is, I tried for a very very nice car that was capable and fun, not an all out race car, or an extrovert. This car is a rust free Southern car, hardly doesn't even see rain, and is impeccably clean in and out. I'm set at 6K firm for it, which includes everything, plus a few little extras I have for it.

Burton Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 OK, here's some more specs on my car since you are interested... ENGINE: -Stock bottom end (approx. 130k miles) -Clearwater NJV head -Ajusa gasket -Port/polish work on head, intake and exhaust manifold -HD springs -ARP studs -Tainter Racing hard IC hardpipes -MK1 Chrome OVCP with RFL BOV -S16G turbo -SS oil feed line -1G MAS w/K&N -2.5 Exhaust with electric cutout and Megan Racing muffler -Star Orion 115A GM alt. -All fans wired to come on with low temp switch- temp gauge never goes over 1/2 even when stuck in traffic on hot TX days -All engine work performed by Tainters or Jimmy A SUSPENSION: -Tokico front stru inserts -MK1 rear struts -New Tokico strut mounts all the way around -Cosmo coilovers -Suspension Techniques oversized front sway bar -Cross drilled/slotted rotors with performance pads and SS brake lines -Ultra 16X8 mesh wheels with Nexen tires- about 75% tread still left EXTERIOR: -Fiberglass Cowl hood, with Trans Am GTA hood vents molded in- one of a kind -Custom header panel and grille- one off as well -Custom rear bumper with step shaved and front SQ airdam molded into bottom, and 1/4 panel extensions- one off also -Custom plate trim with shaved plate lights replaced by LED -Tinted tails -Tinted fog/park/turn light covers -Paint is a custom mix made by yours truly, and has 5 different color pearls in it, candy infused in the base, and is unlike any other color in the world, this is truly a one-off color. INTERIOR: -84 style black grey/cloth seats in front -Stedbani short shifter -Custom shift boot -Dual gauge pillar pod with AutoMeter boost and AF gauges -Blue neon lighting -custom console pieces -Interior is mostly filled with audio equipment which consists of... AUDIO: -Clairion Pro Audio 7770 head unit -Clairion Pro Audio 920 EQ -Clairion Pro Audio 6 disc cd changer, mounted under driver's seat for easy access to change out discs -PPI crossover 2 Rockford Fosgate Punch 100ix 1 Rockford Fosgate Punch 60ix 1 Majestic 500W 2 12" JL Audio subs 1 15" Orion Cobalt sub 2 sets of MB Quart 6.5 component speakers 1 set of 6' MB Quart component speakers 2/0 ga power wire Distribution blocks with digital volt meters Massive custom built amprack/sub enclosures finished out nicely in either paint matching the car, or fabric which is BMW headliner material. Car's best time down the track was 13.8 at about 19PSI (without heavy stereo system), but will still pull low to mid 14's now, I'd say. Best dyno numbers were done at 18PSI, and I had 240RWHP with the exhaust dump open, and 335RWTQ with the dump closed. This car is rust free. I got it back in 06 to use as a good foundation for my built drivetrain since my old 89 Conquest was rusting apart. All the goodies from that car went into this one, and I started building it. This car was my daily driver from late 07 until this past feb, when the body, suspension, and interior were completely redone, and the engine bay redone nicer. Since then, the car has been used only for show. This is one of those deals where I'm not exactly looking to sell the car, but for the right price I would make the sacrifice in order to have the money to get my shop done. This car has a large amount of sentimental value to me, as when I went to go get this car I picked it up close to where my uncle lived, and was able to go see him- it was the last time I saw him before he died of cancer. Since he was one of the very few in my family who really got into the work I was doing on cars (even my dad could care less LOL), I dedicated the build in his memory. I have loads of documentation, on this car. 90% of the receipts, hundreds of pics, etc... Here's some links for more info.. my garage account at 26liter- lists all mods, and how much they cost, as well as a few pics (have to join to see it, but it's free... http://www.26liter.us/forum/index.php?acti...4#modifications Here's my picture gallery at 26liter, these you can see if you're a member or not... http://www.26liter.us/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=423 The car does have a couple "issues".... -Front wheel bearings need replacing, but I have brand new bearings for it -The wheels are the same offset, so the rear wheels sit inside the wheelwell a bit and don't sit "flush"- needs 3/4-1" spacers -2 small spots where I burned the paint a little when I was rubbing it out, and one small chip that happened after paint. -When cruising on the interstate when you just have your foot kind of resting on the gas, the stock boost and tach gauge needles start to I guess dance, is the best way to say it. Boost gauge will start spiking up to like 10PSI even tho I'm not in the gas, and the tach will bounce up past redline, even tho the motor is cruising along at 3k. When it's doing it, if you get into the gas or let off, they boost and tach work properly. I'm not sure what the heck is causing it, but it doesn't affect the runability or anything so I just ignore it LOL -A/C and Cruise control are long gone, and I don't have the parts to put them back Every car, even the ones you don't want to sell are for sale for the right price. Since I have spent over $9500 on this car NOT INCLUDING MY LABOR (about 250-300 hours), my magic number was $12k, which is still cheaper than you could have one built. For 12k I would fix the paint spots, wheel bearings and get some spacers for the rear wheels, maybe even a few other things, but if you want it as is, I wouldn't let it go for a penny less than 10k. Y'all may think I'm on glue to ask that price, and that's fine, but we all know you can't have a car built to this extreme for this price. Again, the car has sentimental meaning to me too, so I'm not desperate to sell it. If someone wants it for that price, I'll be able to have my shop done now, if not I'll keep my car and have the shop up within a year, but still have my car. Either way, I'll be happy. PM me if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
