I am seriously considering selling mine. We will be moving soon, and I just don't have the time lately. Im in California as well. It runs, has had a lot of work done and is pretty darn close to being road ready. The only downside other than the needed finishing is the cracked windshield...

Does anyone have or could take some pictures of the rear louvered deck lid hinges? I`m trying to get some ideas of what to use and where to mount them. Thanks!

Just saw this on CL. Trade's 1964 sterling car , best offer .

I`m going crazy here! So my sterling came with the halo headlight kit from Dave: They are supposed to look like this, im sure you guys have seen them: Here's the problem(s), they are not DOT, which isint a HUGE problem, but they are also kinda crummy quality (No offene to Dave!) and they look...

I think your being a little hard on yourself there Flyer! For the clarity of future readers, the inline valve I uploaded a picture of earlier will NOT work. These "pilot operated" valves may be the ticket. It appears to me that you would install a t fitting into the upper hose (the hose that...

Darn it, I think your right Flyer... I guess that would have just been too easy. Oh well, I think the parking brake would at least work, assuming it works by just blocking the flow of fluid. There has to be some sort of external check valve system that would work. Davids system seems to have...

Or an inline check valve like this? :

So I know this has been covered a little bit in some posts, but I see no post dedicated to keeping the canopy (at least on the hydraulic powered canopies) up. I know some of the "nicer" pumps will do this on their own...but mine for one does not. If i`m working on the car, I have to either...

Has anyone installed or have installed the stage 3 gauges? Does anyone know if the ammeter needs an external shunt? And whats the deal, did these cars come with these gauges or were they simply a popular option?

So after having some concerns about the excessive backspace on the sterling, and noticing some notching on the tire where it may have been rubbing the fender I have checked the backspacing on my current wheel tire setup. Currently a hair under 5 1/2 inches (tire/wheel 4 1/2, wheel adapter...

Can anyone identify this thing? I suppose shocks are shocks... just curious as I`ve never seen one like it.

So I am going to be heading off to Pick N Pull this week to do some shopping. I thought I would just look around until I find what I think will work and look good, then I thought I ought to look into the infinite wisdom of this forum. So here`s what I need, any thoughts/ideas on good donor...

These pictures are taken from above the seat, you can see how the pan has been notched out. In the second picture you can see there is now room for the recline lever, problem is when you sit down the seat pushes it down and the seat flops back. I`ll have to take them out to see what I will do to...

About 8 months ago I became the new owner of sterling #444. At the time I knew I would not be able to start work on the car until the following spring... well its now time to get to work! I don't have great pics yet, but I will be posting a few... because if any of you are like me, any pics are...

Just saw this on craigslist. 1981 Sterling Custom (Stock # B8142)

Anybody feeling posting some pics of where you've mounted your hydraulic pumps? The pump on my "new" sterling is just kinda hanging there. I`ll be able to figure something out, but it would sure be neat to see what any of you have done first!

Today I acquired a sterling through trade. Serial number is CCC444 and it is....was in good shape but needs some finishing. I say was because my beloved Wife decided to close the canopy....with the seat leaning in the full forward position (nissan Z seats)...shattered the windshield. I know...
