R-R-Quest Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 That is the sweetest Quest I have seen to date! Love it in black, and that interior is nearly perfect. You should be proud. I can only hope mine will look half that good when I get done with it. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koulbreeze Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Amazing Like that scene in "American Psycho" when that guy pulls out the nicer business card, I must do better.

kidjc Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I had always loved those Merkurs, along w/ the capris. When I really took notice of those I was driving a custom 1978' Datsun 280Z. Probably one of my favorite luxury sports/economy cars of all. Not as intricate as our StarQuests, but nice sports cars lines, & great possibilities modd'n. I would have to say until that part I was mostly an American muscle car guy, aside from a 69' XKE, 67' Healy 3000, & a couple others. Nonetheless, I felt those Merkurs belonged in that category of rariety. Almost bought one a few years backs. Thanks for the pic, way kool!

Wattle Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I do not have the knob but i do have a question for you . did you take the leather off the seats to bring them back to life. I have been working on mine. i have been soaking theme in Neets Foot Oil. They use this for saddles. I like seeing article like this. It makes me want to keep my 89 now. I have had mine for sale for a while. I am looking for a Beetle trade. I am a big car enthusiast too. i like a lot of rare cars as well. I first saw a Conquest in high school too, back in 96. At first when i saw it i thought it was a Supra but i new it was something else because of how much cooler it was. since then i wanted one butt never saw one again until 4 years ago. At my work "A Dive Bar" an 89 was abandoned to die in the Hot Sun, in the parking lot. It sat for a year until i got the word out that i was going to steel it before it withered away in the sun. A gentle Man came up to me which ended out being a regular costumer of mine and asked how much i would give him. I said $900. He said Ok. He drove the car as far as he could get and it was the bar. I would drive no farther. The Trans! The injectors! The Fuel system! Only 90K on the all original car. I sent it to the shop and two years later After now bad Blood with my ex friends the transmission GUYS. More than one shop!!!! i have been driving for about 5 months now. Not a perfect car but VERY NICE. I am working on making it perfect. The only reason i am wanting to sell this car is because my BUTT is just to damn big to fit in these seats comfortable. LOVE your car though. i hope mine looks that good one day too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOVE your car though. i hope mine looks that good one day too! I never took the leather off the seats...I just dyed the leather right on the spot, but I did take all the seats off the car. Your idea seems to be a good one. I bet they will feel nice and soft....just like new leather. I have felt the same way at times. There have been times when I have thought about the possibility of selling my Starquest and also my daily driver and just get a VERY NICE NEW car; but everytime I see my Quest in the garage, just seating there like a queen; I tell myself...NO WAY!! that's staying right where it is (that is unless I get offered 10K for it just as what happened to another member here)......There are just beautiful machines.

pc85 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 By the way guys.....I have been struggling to find the passenger's seat bolster knob screw round plastic cover that I am still missing. You can notice on picture 11 what I am talking about. A fellow member was nice enough a couple of months ago to give me the driver's side one, which I was very grateful; but every time I open the passenger's door the bear screw is the first thing I see and just drives me crazy.....if you have one laying around, please let me know your price and I will buy it! Don't know if you ever found the cover to the seat bolster screw but there's a whole bolster for sale on ebayhttp://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mUnWXLFZzZ_YPlTczSAR13w.jpg$9.34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
