Try eBay motors / Collector Cars/ Replica/KitCarMakes. There have been recent auction listings for Sterlings. Mike

I know you are looking for a Sterling but have you ever considered a Sebring? The quality of fiberglass work on the 1980 and later Sebrings is outstanding even by today's standards. The fiberglass is multiple layers of woven roving, mat, and finally chopper gun on the inside of the panels. Average panel thickness is also 3/8" thick with bulkhead areas even approaching 1" of thickness. I have owned 1 Sterling but 4 Sebrings over the years. The 1980 and later models can accomodate a guy up to 6"5" tall and is much wider inside. I am not just trying to talk you into buying mine but you should check out my 1983 Sebring for sale at this site. The Sebring engine bay is also much larger and can accomodate just about any engine you can buy a Kennedy adapter plate system for. They can be built to great levels of comfort and speed without just being another "fiberglass rattletrap." Just some thoughts. Darrel
