Minagera Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) Hey All, I am going to sell the 89 Starion, rather reluctantly, but there are some other projects in a back yard I need to clean out. Anyway this is a true 89 verified by a couple of VINs I snapped a picture of. This car I do believe was hit on drivers side before but was repaired fairly well. Also if you would notice there is a 4 bolt rear end rather than a 6 bolt. No this isn't a rare option, but was swapped when the car was repaired in 1998 from the looks of the autocheck that was done for me. As for the details. 1989 Mitsubishi Starion 5-Speed /w sunroof, Black on Black, Asking $2000 for the car and is located in Huntsville, AL. *Update 01-31-12* Will accept partial trade + cash for pistols (I know this limiting in some states). Nothing really specific, would prefer a more common caliber 9mm, .40 etc. The car does run and driver fairly well, just needs some TLC before I would make it a daily. The parking brake cables are rather tight and need to be lubricated, and all the brake calipers need to be gone through on top of that. The injectors DO NOT leak and it has strong oil pressure on startup and pretty average after it is warmed up. See the couple of pictures of the gauge cluster. There is rust starting to form on the passengers rear quarter, see pic, and the undercarriage of the car has surface rust on some. Pretty standard for a car that has lived up north for a while. It has a OVCP /w a blow-off, and works as it is supposed to. Also the AC compressor has been removed, but all the other AC parts are still intact. It does have KYB's all around on what looks like stock springs. Also an aftermarket radio has been installed. If you have a question feel free to ask, or if your are around Huntsville, AL you can stop by to see it or drive it. http://minagera.org/gallery/var/albums/Cars/Conquest/89-Starion/89%20Starion%20-%2001.jpg?m=1317362828 http://minagera.org/gallery/var/albums/Cars/Conquest/89-Starion/89%20Starion%20-%2002.jpg?m=1317362828 http://minagera.org/gallery/var/albums/Cars/Conquest/89-Starion/89%20Starion%20-%2003.jpg?m=1317362828 http://minagera.org/gallery/var/albums/Cars/Conquest/89-Starion/89%20Starion%20-%2004.jpg?m=1317362828 http://minagera.org/gallery/var/albums/Cars/Conquest/89-Starion/89%20Starion%20-%2005.jpg?m=1317362828 Edited February 12, 2012 by Minagera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I will vouch for this car. It spent almost a year here as I waited for the previous owner to come up with the cash for the restoration. That never happened and he eventually put the car up for sale. If Minagera had not stepped up with the cash when he did, I was gonna buy it with my following paycheck, and would have already had it restored LOL. Anyway, When the car was here it ran great, the brakes were a little sketchy, but as I recall, that was my only real concern with the car. Compared to some of the other 89 Starions I've seen for sale lately, I'd say this one is one of the better foundations to start from. The biggest issue was the body. As was started, it has had some repair work in the past, but everything appeared to be done properly from what I could tell without grinding off the paint. Everything looked straight and what filler I found in the car, was minimal and appeared to be done right. The rust that is on it, is not too bad for a car that spent time up north. It has less rust and is an easier fix than any of the SQs I did in MI. Really, a couple of small patches here and there, a little bodywork, a repaint and it's done. I hope someone buys this car and does right by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minagera Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 looks really rust free but whats with the high temperature Not really a High Temp, I just think the gauge is that way. That pic was only 5 minutes of running. Anti-freeze in there is a perfect green color. Never gets any hotter than that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
