Sorry to hear about the wreck… At least it didn’t get it any worse, definitely looks fixable. I have all of the parts in northern Virginia, I’m not the cheapest guy in the block, but I’m willing to do what I can. I have full cut radiator supports, hoods etc. If you don’t have any luck, just hit me up. Steve

Hey, this is Steve, I do have a perfect working digital cluster, and I’m about to possibly part out a full technica car as well. Holler if I can help -

Hi Merv, I have both in stock and I’m happy to look into shipping, but the rear diff would be a heavy/expensive cost most likely to ship it to New Zealand. I’m happy to check if you’d like. I have shipped other parts to New Zealand before to a couple of other Starion owners. I’ll send you a message. Steve

Randy/DAD is the OG! My suggestion Randy is that you just do a Starquest podcast and then make yourself available for 24/7 online questions through video chat:) Appreciate the time that you take with people to answer questions and provided advice and quality parts for these cars. Steve in VA

Nope it’s not necessary to change both…any many people do not (some do, but not required at all) Steve

Are your side pieces still good? I have a mint OEM center section… Steve

I can send you one if you need one- Steve

Hey there and welcome! I think all-in-all you paid a fair price for what you received, as it also has some under-hood goodies it appears from when I saw the listing. Yes, the rust was a concern but fixable if you have the appetite for it! Glad to hear you plan on getting it back to its glory days. I run the Starquestparts.net website, so feel free to give me a shout if you need any goodies…I’m just above you in Virginia. -Steve

Hi Jay, I have excellent clean OEM gas tanks in stock. Shoot me a message if you’d like to discuss, or you can text/call me as well. Steve 540-379-8nine5won

Best of luck with getting her fixed up! -Steve

I would say maybe 3 feet long for when you are loading on the ramps, and then just a couple 1 foot sections for the front. I’ve towed probably 20 of these things, and I’ve used a U-Haul trailer every time. It’s just a close call and you’ll want that a little bit of leverage, just to be safe.

Use them all the time. Just carry a couple cut 2x6s and you’ll be fine loading. Then a couple small 2x6s (about 12” length) to put under the front wheels once you load it. Steve

I have seen this happen before… Most likely the front struts needed to be replaced, and they simply swapped over a good set from another car that happened to be the SHP’s. That’s really the only logical explanation and like I said, I’ve seen it in the front, and I l,ve also seen it also in the rear independently. Nothing wrong or bad about it per se, but definitely not something that was done from the factory for any reason. Steve

Nice find! Enjoy the journey…these are head turners and fun cars once you get things sorted out. If / when you need parts, see my website at www.StarquestParts.net which I update regularly. There are links to other reputable vendors on my home page as well. Welcome to the SQ Club!! -Steve

Sounds good….I’ve shipped them quite often. Not as bad to ship as you might think, probably around $75 or so for both. Or much less for just a tube and mating gear. Steve
