Several of you have seen this car.

The back story is, a friend of mine bought this from a sometime/former club member about a year ago. It quit on him while he was driving it home. Started blowing fuel pump fuses.
He dragged it to his work place with the intent of fixing it, when he had the time and money. I even offered to help him with it, but he was always busy with work.
He eventually got one of the mechanics at his work to replace the pump, but could never get it to start or run, afterwards.
He got tired of towing the car around and needed money worse than he needed the car. He called me up and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I had it towed home.
It now starts and runs. It has new Rodney Dickman master and slave clutch cylinders.
The brakes have been bled and work properly.
All it needs is an exhaust header, some minor trim work, maybe a carb clean/rebuild, and an oil change for the engine and tranny, to make it completely driveable.
Why am I selling it?
I really don't care anything about having a droptop. As I mentioned, I bought it to help out a friend, and it just doesn't speak to my soul.
So... what's the deal?
I would really like to sell this car
as a roller.
I would like to keep the drivetrain and put it in something else. I am asking $3500 for the car, without the drivetrain. Keep in mind that the Automoda kit was nearly that much, just by itself. And try to find one, today.
The car itself has less than 20K on the odo, and looks it. Everything in the interior that is not covered in leather is covered in carpet. It's really
quite nice. The car is not perfect, but it's nice.
I had thought about putting a different engine in it (a 3.4 or a 4.9, maybe. It would make the perfect cruising car.) But I figured that would put it out of more peoples' reach, and an engine choice can be a very personal (sometimes polarizing) thing, anyway.
I will sell it, like it sits, with the drivetrain, for $5500. It'll be more if I replace the header. (That price is because I really want to keep the engine, but if I'm offered that, I'll take it.)
I've mentioned this to a couple of people on Pennocks, but one guy just wants it to part out, and the other guy's wife "shot him the look" when he mentioned getting another Fiero.
I'd really rather that someone in our club got it, anyway. If you want to buy it and part it out, please just don't tell me about it. It's
way too nice for that.
I will also consider a trade for an 88. (Both cars as "rollers".) Must be in very good condition, as far as body and interior. Engine can be toast. Would prefer a manual.
I can take pics of anything about the car, by request. Just let me know.
Lots more pics (and more history) in this thread...
