FOR SALE -- Silver Formula
« on: August 02, 2020, 01:17:18 pm »
I have decided that it would be better for someone familiar with Fieros to buy my silver Formula, so I'm offering it for sale here. I would like to get $1000 for it. Here are the details.
It runs and drives just fine, and is reliable, but has these issues.
The AC works, but leaks. I put some of that leak detector stuff in it, and found that it leaks at the compressor where the hoses connect. When I put in a new compressor, it didn't come with new washers, so I re-used the old ones. I'm not sure if it's leaking there, or at one of the pressure switches.
It probably needs a new ignition lock. When you insert either of the keys I have, you have to wiggle the key in order to get it to turn.
The valve stem seals leak, so it blows a puff of smoke at startup. Runs clean after that.
For some reason, starting is harder in hot weather. It takes a bit of cranking. Starts right up in cold weather.
The upper hinge pin on the driver side door may slip down and have to be hammered back up.
All exterior lighting has been replaced with LEDs. If you decide you'd rather have old-fashioned bulbs, please give me the LEDs.
Almost forgot to add -- It was in a minor accident, so there is a bit of rumpled and re-straightened metal under the bumper cover.

Nice looking.  I'm not familiar with it. 

Auto or stick? 
Any engine mods?
Does the sunroof leak?

I'm trying to convince my neighbor who keeps looking at my '88 to get his own.

I'm shocked this car didn't sell immediately for that price.

Out of curiosity, any offers, at all?

I really wanted it, and truly still do.   But Charlie found my unicorn and I'm going to get it next week.  Just need to talk the wife into buying two.  Pat, can you bring it to the diner?  The wife and kids will be there, it's my best shot.

If I get to go, I'll bring it. Not  sure if I can go at this time.
Maybe I'll even fill the AC. It ought to be good for a day, anyway.

Could you have your guests call and let you know their approximately ETA?  This could be a missed opportunity to sell it and it would remain in the club for 3 consecutive owners.  Michelle is a car person and she knows how to care for one.

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

As of now, it looks like I'll be able to make the meeting -- with the silver Formula.
