What is the engine in the red Fiero?

Is Budgetman's Fiero a 3800SC?

Post by: TopNotch on July 12, 2020, 07:27:22 pm: I think the red (85 GT) is a stock 2.8. That would make the engines from front to back, 3.4, 3800NA, 2.8, 3800SC.

The red one is an 85 GT. The yellow one is probably 86 or 87. I zoomed in on the back wheel in another picture, and it doesn't have have 88 brakes.

Yes, so I currently have one solid roof car, one sun roof car, and one t-top car.

Post by: GTRS Fiero on July 13, 2020, 10:12:02 pm: Hmmm. So, which roof type do you prefer?

The t-top roof, for it's uniqueness and coolness factor. Number 2 would be the solid roof, because sun roof seem to be so common that the solid roof seems more unique.
A t-top car with perfect original seals and a 3800 engine would be ideal.

...

My coupe has a solid roof. It's actually kind of grown on me. None of the finicky adjustments, gaskets, and delam around the edges that I've seen on a number of sunroof cars. Simplicity has its benefits.

But yeah... I had a T-top car, many years ago. I get the allure, but I found it a pain to have to stop, whenever a "change" needed to be made. You can't just "pop the latch" like you can with a sunroof car. I ended up trading the car, mostly due to the scarcity (real or perceived) of replacement/repair parts. The car that I received in trade (a black Formula) became my gray fastback.

Here they are...

Title: Re: A mix?
Post by: GTRS Fiero on July 16, 2020, 09:26:44 pm: Some years ago, I almost bought a black notchie. I made arrangements with the seller, that I'd stop by on a particular day, at a set time. I called, then drove 4+ hours to get there. The guy sold the car before I called, so the drive was for nothing. I did get to see the car, though. We went to eat, and the car was stopped nearby, dead. The buyer was really mad. I gave him a ride back to the seller. Apparently, the car had been misrepresented.
