Bummer, I would be really cool to have. Why front engine though?
EDIT: I think I get it. Is it because Fiero is a mid-engine car, and the drivetrain would most likely be coming from a front engine car, because Fiero is the only American mid-engine car.

The drivetrain is all 1979 IH scout. They built a stout truck however the bodies fell off due to rot. The engine is 345ci, the trans is a 727 torqueflight, the rears are Dana 44. The next level would be to detail the engine, reshoot the body, new carpet, a locker in the front rear. If I don't sell it that's what I'll be doing. As far as streetability it will need 3" flares to be road legal. Headlight and exhaust levels are within Pa. specs. My price is 5K, this covers the cost of the parts, the labor is free.

Has anyone ever thought of converting a Fiero to AWD? now that could be fun.
There is someone running around with an AWD Fiero, cool thing is no transfer case needed. They made the front electric drive and the rear remained stock. Kinda neat setup.
------------------ 85GT Soon to be 87GT,93 Eldorado 4.9, 5spd Dual O2 Custom Chip, Custom Exhaust. MSD Everything Capt Fiero --- My Over View Cadero Pics Yellow 88GT 5spd Full Poly Suspension, Lowered 1/2" in front, Corner Carver.
Well how about instead of just telling me I'm wrong you explain the right answer.
Sorry for coming off like a dick. . I dont have the list but other mid engine us made cars were made. one i know of is the gt40. i will try to find the list.

How much is the asking price? That thing looks badass.
Regarding the mid-engine thing. There is already a thread going, but I don't think everyone fully understand what it takes to be a mid-engine car. Vettes (C4-C6) and Vipers are both mid-engine cars.

I think the ford GT is considered rear engine

That's awesome, I love it. I had a '77 Scout SSII for about 3 years. The guy I sold it to blew the 304 and put a 345 in it and got some amatuer tractor pull trophies, after we put headers and a Holley double-pumper carb on it. That thing was a blast.

Thanks to all who have commented. My price is 5K. This covers the parts, the labor is free. I have a clear Pa. title in my name. I talked with an inspection mechanic concerning how to title and inspect. His advice was to leave it titled as a Fiero and avoid the truck weight inspection bullcrap, also the registration fees are much lower. I'll post some trunk pics tomorrow as I don't have any handy.

Sidepipes would be cool, I wanted to put stacks on it however the wife said "that was far to redneck, even for me". So I ran them to the stock location. I have a truck (IH) air horn I'm going to install (I know the redneck thing). I still think it will be cool!!!!
