I think it would be the perfect candidate for a budget EV conversion. It's only a matter of time before we start seeing classic and vintage cars with electrified drivetrains. As this is a kit car, it would suit it.

i would love to have this, it would stand out well against the sea of crossovers we have today.

Am I the only one who would love to see a restomod done to one of these? New engine, updated suspension, redo the entire interior with carbon fiber or leather and a new headlight cluster? Keep the rims though, I love the look of those.

These Sterling Novas are just so darn cute, beautiful, & adorable!! I love them!!

Right?! All eyes on you!

Surely, it would need new tyres and a paint job anyway? Great job cleaning and detailing it. I love the 70's wedge design just beginning to transform into the early 80's style of cars, very retro futuristic.

For a kit car, this is one of the sharpest I've ever seen!

Beautiful body kit. 👌 I would definitely update everything. I would drive it. 👌

Guys, can you please, please, please, show how how you clean seat belts, I clean my own car, but I always struggle cleaning the belts! Love watching your vid's by the way. Keep up the great work, very enjoyable watching, 😉

One of the neighbors down the street was building one of these when I was 5 or 6 I still remember the front end and the pop up body. I never knew what it was called or if I did I forgot it. That is truly amazing. Yes I would LOVE to own one of those!

Always loved the Sterling Kit car. it was built on VW bug chassis, love the styling and top operation, don't think I would be able to fit in it, I am 6'8", my long legs might pose a problem, but if I could fit, I would love to drive it around

I'd love to have that car looks amazing

I'd take a Sterling in a heartbeat. The whole supercar look just does it for me.

I would absolutely own this, and definitely drive it around. It would be my weekend car, most likely. I mean, if i was able to restore it all nice and keep it that way I would definitely want to, and I know parts wouldn't be cheap, so it would sit in the garage being polished most days. But I would wear it proudly and I would d4mn well enjoy it 😎

Heck yes....such a great use of the vw platform....and a very cool design/shape/balance..

I didn't think i would see one of these cars again brings back memories when I had a passion to buy one back in the 80s but unfortunately missed out big regret.

With regard to the green wheels, obviously it was a VERY damp barn. BTW - Love the video's keep up the great work.

I want a 70s van with the bubble windows in the back all restored. That's my dream vehicle.👍 excellent detailing job 👍

Best and beautiful and awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I would so love to have this car and not even sure why i just find it amazingly beautiful !!! Awesome job on cleaning it by the way .

I remember seeing the Sterling in a bunch of car mags back in the day and as a teenager, I fell in love with it's weird and wonderful design. I would own one in a heartbeat if given the chance.

Super impractical but also super unique so I’d own it for both of those reasons

Hell yes id drive it and i might even take it to a car show or two just for the pure beauty of it

I know I am a weirdo, but I just LOVE this car! There is something so cool about VW Bug kit cars like this and the Bradley GT.

I'd love to drive this. I had a 69 Ford Torino, I love projects and this seems like it would be fun and very customizable. Not a big fan of it having a old VW engine, but if something else could be put in, definitely.

Love the design! Very unique today up against all the "box" looking cars. I'd slam it and put a set of 18" rims on it. And paint it in some modern color or a nice silver... Anyway would be a fun car too say the least especially at a cars n coffee! Good job!

That is a lot of work but the results were great. Love your videos. Keep them going.

Excelente trabalho! Ficou mais lindo do que já era...

What I find so amazing about this video is the shape those tires were in. If those tires were on that car since 1985, I would think they would have been dry rotted in even worse shape than that carpet was in. Amazing!!

One word: WOW!!!!!! =O

I might remember this car roaming the streets in the 80s! My grandmother lived in Cuyahoga Falls, and we were up in that area at least one weekend a month. I remember seeing an orange/red sports car up there and my brother explaining what a kit car was. It probably wasn’t this exact car, but… it could be!

It has a very nice look I like it

The love for old cars will never die. Not many care about classic cars. But as the years went by my 1999 Mercedes-Benz C230 k Sport restored like this is now turning head left and right and every day it gets a compliment. Great job guys.

I love the design of these kits. I would so drive one of these.

Excellent detail, great work! I had a good laugh at the kit car's underpinnings though. It looks like it can hit speeds in excess of 200MPH but the maximum on that old Beetle chassis is probably 60MPH. 😂

This Sterling was very popular in the late 60s through the 80s. It competed with the Kelmark GT and other Ferrari Dino 246 knock offs. I built a Kelmark GT in 1979 and it turned heads everywhere. The "paint" is actually a colored gelcoat (polyester resin) which is laid over the fiberglass body. Gelcoats never held their polish for very long and were prone to cracking and ghosting. I'm surprised that this Sebring was in such great shape. I'd own it for sure.

I wonder if you could do a subaru or porsche conversion on this 🤔 great job as always 👍🏾

When it comes to the tires, its likely just a particular breed of mold, probably settled on the tire after it had dried out enough to become porous. The paw prints probably are cat paws, but it had to have stepped in something to etch the paint like that, probably urine.
