I'm in Bellevue. There's at least three others I've met/seen that have theirs on the road. One in Omaha, one in Gretna, and one I don't know where (I met him at 1320video's Ice Cream Cruise car show in Omaha). Other than that I haven't seen anyone with any on the road. I've met a handful who were selling them or trying to find the time/money/motivation to get them back on the road, again, in/near the Omaha metro area. They are VERY few on the road in NE for sure.

I'm in La Vista and work on base in Bellevue. I took this shortly after my D2 install this spring. It needs some readjustment, but is a huge improvement over 26 year old worn out bits.

I'm from Lincoln, name's Dylan.

 

Bought an '88 Conquest for $2,000 with 120,000 miles, turned out to have a blown head gasket, numerous exhaust and boost leaks, probably bad injectors...

Hard to get answers because the previous own is unfortunately deceased at a young age. I'm trying to keep his car alive and running!

Currently the engine/tranny is pulled and getting rebuilt. This is my first ever engine rebuild so it's really nerve-wracking... hoping to get a 250-350 HP car on TBI when all is finished.

Anyway, on the topic of Nebraska... if anyone is in Lincoln and might know any of the people that own these cars and if they're on SQC, speak up!!!

I've seen all of these Starions/Conquest within a year of buying mine and it's driving me crazy how I can't find these people.

 

Cars I've spotted:

-87 Conquest - painted Fiji blue, white wheel centers (Omaha)

-Gold Conquest - great condition (see it usually about 70th and Holdredge)

-Black & Silver Conquests - few issues no air dams (Owned by a guy at Square-D where my dad works)

-White Starion - really scary car, seems fast... very clean (see it on O street occasionally. I've heard rumors this might be "SuperDave?")

-Black Conquest Technica flatty - being worked on (Adam's Automotive at 66th & Holdredge)

-Palermo Grey Conquest - nice (seen at Lincoln Benefit Life where my mom works)

 

Anybody know if these people are on the forums?

 

Also anyone local who thinks they might be able to help me out with my project, I'd greatly appreciate it. I just know that putting my car back together is going to be a complete nightmare for me :(

I'd really love to meet some more locals with hands-on knowledge and patience to help get my car back on the road

I'm by Columbus, I guess I should've put that at first ha.. But I'd love to meet up with some if you guys if your ever around! Or if I'm in Omaha or Lincoln.. It's be awesome to check out you guy's cars. SilverGhost, dang that's crazy that there's that many around you! I've never seen another one besides mine. KT, gorgeous car man! And Dylan, if you ever need parts or anything I've got a few boxes of mostly stock stuff that I've upgraded but I'd try to help ya out if you need it.. Just pm me. I go to Omaha every couple weeks cause my girlfriend goes to uno, I usually don't take the quest but if any of you wanted to meet up I'd gladly bring it there!

I think that'd be me actually, Dylan. Blue with white wheel centers.

 

And '87Quest, I'm actually on South Campus at UNO and I work nearby, so you may see my car around accidentally :)

Right! And that one you "Met at the Ice Cream Cruise" was me, LOL

 

My car is not running however and probably won't be for another year or more :(

Here ya go!

Unfortunately no pics of the really excellent condition Gold, White, or Beige ones in town... those are the most evasive ones
