mykwest Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I’ve had this car for 6 years and had just started the V8 swap a month ago when I cut a deal with my wife. She says that if I don’t build this car now and sell it instead, I can get a new WRX in 3 years. So I’m selling my beloved ‘quest. Link to pictures:http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/paddlernate/library/1987%20Mitsubishi%20StarionIt’s a beige 1987 Starion widebody with 86K miles. The engine was toast when I bought it so I yanked it and sold it – 2.6L ENGINE IS GONE! The tranny, and everything else, is still in it. The drivetrain doesn’t leak, brakes still work, etc. It’s a good roller.The body is virtually rust free- things just don’t rust here in the Pacific Northwest! The body is really straight overall, but there are a few minor dings, and the paint is in pretty poor shape on the passenger side. Looks like someone spilled a bottle of brake fluid on the roof, and it ran down the side of the car. The paint is pretty splotchy on the corner of the roof. The rear hatch is from another car- its silver, with poorly tinted windows and has the Conquest badge. The front bumper is also from another car, and you can see red paint in a couple spots where the beige has peeled off. So, basically, this car needs a paint job. The black interior is in great shape and is totally complete. No tears in the seats, carpet or headliner.My plan for this car was to do a carbureted 5.0/302 Ford swap. I’ve acquired most of the major parts required for the swap and can include them in this purchase. I have a ’96 302 from an Explorer with ~160K miles. It’s partially disassembled- I’ve pulled the heads and cam, and everything was in good shape. I’ve sold the GT-40 intake manifolds and have none of the fuel injection components (harness etc). PLEASE DON’T ASK ME IF I HAVE THE FUEL INJECTION STUFF- I DON’T.I have the following new parts for the engine: complete gasket kit, timing chain, oil pump, water pump, mechanical fuel pump, motor mounts, front sump oil panI also have a T-5 manual transmission from an ’89 Mustang GT w/ ~140K miles, and the flywheel, clutch and pressure plate.I’m located in Portland, OR and would be willing to work with you to arrange shipping this at your expense. Please email me with any questions you might have- I don’t check this board often. paddlernate@yahoo.comAsking $1700 for everything or $800 for just the rolling chassis. http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/paddlernate/library/1987%20Mitsubishi%20Starion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
