My wife works for a towing company, and they just towed in an 827s. It's in ok shape, no rust I could see, 45k miles. There looks like there were electrical issues because the panel covering the wires underneath the dash is off. The owner didn't speak english but mentioned clutch, so it probably needs a clutch.
The reason I'm posting this is that I know Sterlings are rare and I hoped someone could use this car before it gets scrapped. You can buy it (with a title) for around $200 from the towing company, but it will be gone soon.

Engine & drive train excellent. It runs perfectly - never caused a problem. I will provide complete service record spreadsheet.
Body is poor because it lived its first 3 years in Cleveland before I stored it most of 1993-98 when I had company cars. It was again driven in the Cleveland area 1999-2001 before we moved to VA in 2002. Corrosion related problems now become a nuisance -- body spots, sun roof contacts (I keep it shut), cables for hood and hatchback releases (I do manually and key), and power steering fluid was lost in 2004 when a steel tube rusted (it drives OK, but I have not fixed the power). Front window regulators are worn so I open them only 1 /2 way without the nuisance of windows having to be pulled back onto the tracks.
