  1. Probe 15

    I'm not sure there is any actual connection. But I just came across this odd looking car, and I have to say, I see some interesting similarities. It is called a Probe 15, from 1969.
  2. Sterling GT for sale

    I thought I had a good sense of the various different Nova/Sterling/Cimbria/Sebring models. I do not believe I've seen this door and side window version before. Fully custom? Or was there a version like this? Kudos to the various items here, including the front intakes, and the doors. My...
  3. To sell or not to sell

    I'm so struggling with this - and just looking to share and maybe get moral support. I built the Sebring with my dad in the 70s. First we turbocharged a VW engine. Then after about 20 years, that engine blew, and we put in a Fiero GT V6. I've driven it a bunch. But now it sits in the...
  4. Canopy stops or rests

    What does the Sterling top rest on when in the down position? The Sebring does not have anything - just fiberglass to fiberglass. Unless there is weatherstripping mounted to the top. That's what mine has/had. The weatherstripping is a D shape, with little ribs along the curved part. It is...
  5. AC - What's really needed for converting R12

    In my Sebring, I have an R12 AC. It used to work well. It was just one of the various AC kits available in the late 70s. I have looked online at the possible R134a full kits. But none of them seem to have a blower/evaporator that fits as nicely as the one I have. So my question is if I get...
  6. Wanted: Sebring rear trunk lid

    I'm hoping to find a Sebring rear trunk lid. For the first series. Thanks. Jay
  7. Why I'm going from V6 back to VW

    I've made these comments on another thread, but not in this folder. So I'm putting them here in case someone happens to be looking for ideas. History: I build this Sebring in 1978 with my dad. At that time, it had a 1600 VW with Rajay turbo. He drove it probably 80 miles a day until 1987...
  8. Self stopping Sebring headlights

    Anyone here familiar with the Sebring powered headlights? They use the same motor as for the windshield wipers. The switch has two contact positions. The switch is momentary contact, that is, there is contact as long as you hold down the button, but as soon as you release, there is no more...
  9. Opening Top in Emergency

    I'm wondering what Sterlings do, or what other Sebring owners do. My car is a Sebring, with electronic actuators. They stay where they are unless powered to move. The bottoms of the actuators are attached to mounting points with quick release pins. So if someone was inside the car and for...
  10. What is best for defrosting?

    First, I recognize I need to go through all Brett's posts. I started to. But I've yet to find any final installations and conclusions. I have a Sebring. It really HATES coldish moist mornings or evenings. The windshield REALLY wants to fog up. The car has an AC in it that isn't working...
  11. Sebring weight

    Anyone actually weigh a Sebring? There are comments on this site about weight. But they are all general, and seem to be talking about Sterlings. They say between 1,700 and 2,300 pounds. I've always suspected that the Sebring fiberglass was much thicker, and thus heavier than a Sterling. I...
  12. Exhausts for V6

    I have a Sebring with a Fiero GT in the back. When we first built it, we had to comply with California smog requirements. So we actually put a cat on each side, and no muffler. Now I just have a muffler on each side. But because of the engine being mounted in the back, the exhaust is...
