It needs a fuel pump and some better seats.
-
I also just bought Gary's son Ross's car, it's an 85 GT parts car. I bought all of his parts and wheels.
-
Rob, if it's a manual, Old One needs a steering column, and all the locks.
-
Its an automatic. But I should have a manual column in all my parts. Does it have the lever to lock the switch? I take it that it doesn't have cruise or delayed wipers since it doesn't have anything else.
-
The black 85 is going to be put back o the road.

rob my steering column has the lever to lock the switch and the turn signal has the intermitant wipers- no cruise. i'm curious is there nothing that can be done with the column thats in there now. it seems pretty solid, can't i just buy a new ignition and what ever else is missing? i went to junkyard today and took another look at the 85gt, theres not much left thats good(no steering column) but i might get the instrument cluster it looks real good ($50.00),i might get the light switch and plate and the trunk release and plate, theres the covers for the seat mechanisms. i didn't get the trunk open, i don't know what i could use under there. the grills are in good shape($20.00 for both). the sunroof glass is there in the floor it appears to be intact but i don't need it. the hood is in one piece they want $50.00. i want to see if the brackets for the jack is in there. no window crank it has power windows. i still have to check the 84. i know the interior was in pretty good shape the first time i saw it. the headliner was good(tan) and the seats were in good shape no tears. i just want to see if the window crank matchs the 88. the 84 is a complete car is there anything i should take besides a window crank? the gt had 16" wheels chrome but they are missing the center caps about 5 or 6 inchs in diameter, i dont know if they would clean up. oldone in c'ville

Just bring your steering column up and I'll rebuild it for you.
-
And I just traded an 87 2.5 engine with 146,000 miles on it for an 84 4 cylinder automatic. It needs seats and an engine.
-
Looks like it has an 85 or later rear deck.
-
Rear deck is off an 85. I checked the underneath today and it's been wrecked in the front and is rusty underneath, so I guess its a parts car.
-
Julio just bought a complete 97 Grand Prix with a 3800 Super Charger. We're going to install it in his 88 4 cylinder 5 speed car.
-
hey rob, just curious if its not being to nosey, what kind of price range would something like that 97 gran prix 3800sc be? oldone in c'ville
-
He'll sell you the car for $1100 and you come and get the car. The cars been wrecked but it was hit in the rear, it still runs and is still drivable. It's Julio's car, he buys wrecks and strips them then crushes whats left. He owns a junk yard and gets in on all these auctions on repo's too.
-
I found an 85 GT last night that's in my price range. They said the engine needed work but I think I can take care of that. Looks like a nice car, I'll post pics if I get it.
-
Looks like I'm not getting this one. She said they ran it without oil and the motors locked down, and they want $400.00 for it and won't come off the price.
-
The black 85 is going to be put back o the road.
I've just finished with replacing the carpet, seats, dash, console, radio, and shift surround in this car. I got it running last week but it still needs a lot of work. This is going to make a nice car.
-
The fact that it's a Fiero makes it worth it! It does help that You know what Your doing!!
Want some free practice on mine??!!

I have an 87 engine in my 85GT. By all estimates, the car has well over 160,000 miles on it. The oil pressure reads about 30 lbs at hot idle. Bought a new AC/Delco sending unit, so I'm gonna go out, warm the car up, attach a mechanical pressure gauge to get a true reading, then install the new oil pressure sending unit to see if it gives me a good reading.
-
Just finished swapping out the sending unit. After driving the car and getting it up to operating temp, I pulled the old sending unit and installed the mechanical gauge. At 900-1000 rpm, the mechanical gauge reads about 47 to to 50 psi. When I rev it up to about 3000, it goes up to about 65 psi.
Then I installed the new sending unit and started it again. The dash gauge reads around 50 psi at idle and also around 65 when I rev it up. So, I guess I've got a better engine than I thought. The old sending unit must have been bad.
