:) The car is/was always a benchmark for builds. One item that always bothered me was the angle of the headlight bucket/covers didn't follow the body line you scribed at the 'bumper'. Necessity or overlooked?

Well, welcome aboard, Mr. Youngblood! What brings you to our little corner of the internet other than the mention of your old car?

:LOL:

😁 Cool! We were pretty sure that the second Gen Sebring wasn't. But the first gen is just too close to Sterling size and shape body-wise that we weren't quite sure. Thanks for doing that Roger!

:) Excellent. Take photos!

That would have been a good time to see if the windshields are the same between the Sterling and the first generation Sebring. Warren and I suspect that they are but have never been able to confirm that. All you'd have to do is place one over top of the other to see if they nest.

I think that's a light reflection.

Gen 1 Miata seats fit (sort of) if you modify the seat foams, otherwise they sit too high. The maximum width of any seat with the bolsters is 17" - distance between the tunnel and the side of the car. You will overlap the pan edges, so that has to be taken into account. The only seats that I...

Nice. That was the one for sale on Facebook Marketplace, wasn't it? I have photos of that from one of the previous owners from years ago... not much has changed!

The State just took what they could read. It can't be 1400 as there was only 800 cars built. That said, some cars were built with "custom" serial numbers requested by the ordering party, so there is that possibility. But none of those digits are in line with each other that would tell me it was...

Oof. Yeah, not much to determine from that. It's definitely not 1400 though. Could be either 140 or 400, but the trailing '0' isn't in line with the rest.

As mentioned in another thread, parts are still available through the company Sterling Sports Cars. Look for the poster 'farfegnubbin' and shoot him a PM. He's the owner of the company. You may find a used one from another member Unofun (Greg) as he has a stash on the northwestern coast in Oregon.

All of the original first generation cars were copies of the Nova. Sterling (California Component Cars) was a licensed producer of the Nova from England. So, yes, your car is a first generation Sterling with some body mods by a previous owner. Second generation cars looked vastly different as...

Nope, the only place is by the driver's dash. Maybe that's why your plate had been made and the previous owner was guessing at what it said.

Take a photo of the fiberglass area as well. That metal plate was never part of the Sterling/CCC manufacturing process. There was never a serial number that looked like that. All of this is somewhat irrelevant though if you've read my previous replies. And I misspoke - Midwest built cars seemed...

Take a photo. Not enough info. All serial numbers started with 0.

Location would help. Brett in Las Vegas has a rear louver for sale.

I'll have to ask a shipper that just came to my house a few days ago if he's going to be in the Vegas area anytime in the future. He'll move the stuff cheap since it's relatively small. Don't toss anything Brett!

Late to the party here, but you can just take the parts to your local UPS store and they'll pack it for you. None of those items would be too horrid except for the louvers.
