StarquestRescue Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) 87 Starion Auto. Inspected till December. 40k on rebuilt trans, 4 new tires. The black leather seats are in good shape but it is pretty rusty. Oh and it's knocking and has antifreeze in the oil. :crutches: http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff45/StarquestRescue/Parts%20for%20sale/DSC01319.jpg http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff45/StarquestRescue/Parts%20for%20sale/DSC01320.jpg http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff45/StarquestRescue/Parts%20for%20sale/DSC01321.jpg http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff45/StarquestRescue/Parts%20for%20sale/DSC01322-1.jpg Edited July 18, 2009 by StarquestRescue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntercooledFlatty Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 will the 87 auto be offered here before ebay? i'm interested :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_C. Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I really like the flatty for a daily driver. They are lighter weight and more nimble on their feet so to speak, and get better mileage. Great passing power for the freeways too. If I were you I would fix it for a daily driver. They're a blast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Pacifica very near SF a few months ago. I saw a beautiful two tone '83. I think it was maroon upper and tan lower. It was parked right on the coast at one of the beaches. I might have some pics of it somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntercooledFlatty Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 pics man we need pics. jonboy has an 83 with the same paint coed as my 85.5 parts quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_C. Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Well, I don't think I have the pics now. I can't find them, and I think they were on a video cam that was stolen by a United baggage handler on that trip! I think now it could easily have been an '84, but I could swear I remember '83 wheels, B-Pillar trim, and hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc85 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I know the '85.5 are 5 lug wheels, are yours the 4 or 5 lug pattern? can't tell from the pics. If they're 4, would you be interested in some 16" rims when I get my 17" Centerlines? Just planting the seed of flatty wheel love!!!
