mint 1985 conquest!!!!!!!
holy ----, i'm gonna get flamed for no pics, but i just had to share this. my uncle (mid 30's, cool guy) works in the city i live in but he lives an hour away and drives every day, he wanted me to find him a civic or something for under 3k, so i'm like cool. he calls me last night, i figured to ask if i had found anything for him, so as soon as i get on the phone i say "what bitch, i've been looking", he says "na, it's cool, i already picked something up but want you to come look at it, it's an 85 conquest" me... 
i roll up to his work and peep it out, 85 white conquest, totally mint inside and out, no scratches, no dents, interior looks mint from the factory, paint looks fresh from the factory as well, come to find out the owner kept it under a car cover, "how many miles does it have?" him "23,000 original miles" me once again it doesn't run that great, it runs out of breath at about 5k and sometimes after boosting, the boost gauge doesn't go down past zero when you let you foot off, i looked at the air filter and that bitch was clogged slam up, so i sent him to the auto store to order a drop in k&n, some injector cleaner ----, some new plugs and new wires and i think it will fix everything. he may have me pick it up today to do the ---- for him, if so, i'll def. have pics and vids, the car is so mint like a collectors item. he only paid 4k for it

Re:mint 1985 conquest!!!!!!!
I can get ahold of him tonite, or maybe the wife can today- and see make sure he still has it. I know he had to get it out of his garage by a certain date, but im unsure.
you might be able to get it cheaper.
the body, when I say mint, no dings, dents, rust that i could recongize. it does need to be waxed/buffed because it has sat in a garage for awhile. the interior, it was very nice also. no radio, but other than that, it was in really decent shape.
from what the owner says, they were bringing it back from raligh and it went boom. I think someone ran it with no oil. the shaft in the turbo is broken off inside the housing, theres no oil in the pan, nothing under the car (so it hasnt leaked) so thats why I made that ASSUMPTION.
if you had a spare motor, or could get ahold of one, it would be sweet. (and it has a new clutch also)

look on www.car-part.com it was on there. someone also mentioned a JDM motor for it, and it was about the same $$$ after shipping, and it had a little more power, not to mention less miles.
i spotted one in raligh for $500 to. just look around on car-part.com

Re:mint 1985 conquest!!!!!!!
I currently own a 1987 Starion with a blown tranmission (automatic). Forward gears dont work : (. Good luck finding parts for this car it's near impossible :\. On a good note the car only cost me 250 : ).
