Well, never thought I'd be doing this but having to pay for upcomming wedding along with some other expenses are forcing me to put this car up for sale. I built this car for me, never intending to sell it so I used all the best parts, and it's got everything you could ever want in a fiero. To list all the parts would take too long so I'll just summarize here, if you are seriously interested and want more details, I have a detailed parts lists with costs that I can email. I've only owned the car 2 years, most of the work was done this past year so all parts are virtually new. This car could be daily driver, show car, track car, or all 3.
88GT, little over 100K on car, factory CJB Coded T-tops (Which don't leak), new p-seals 5speed getrag, w/ rodney ultimate shift kit and compitition short shifter, clutch pedal and MC was also replaced. V8 TPI '91 corvette motor w/ Archie Deluxe kit, using CC90 ceramic coated headers, remote CSR elec water pump, TPIS Harness and custom chip, less than 40K on motor (have the title to the 'vette the motor came from) Battery relocated to front w/ Norm's Kit and Optima Red-Top Battery Suspension was rebuilt w/ all Poly busings front/rear, New upper/lower ball joints, tie-rod ends, Rear Strut bar. Brakes are 12" vented drilled 'vette rotors, New (not rebuilt) calipers were installed front/rear with stainless steel brake lines. Wheels are 17" Enkei's (7.5"F/8"R) with 225F and 245'sR Dunlops Z-rated Interior has Mr. Mikes Leather seats and Door Lowers (has black/beechwood theme), Driver seat has factory lumbar with new bladders, New black carpet, fierostore mats, Custom Sub Console w/ 10" sub, Pioneer CD Player, Pioneer front speakers, Alarm/Keyless entry system. Autometer Oil Press, water temp Sport Comp Guages. New quarter windows, new taillight lens, new outer dew wipes. MUCH MORE...................
I now theres a ton of stuff I'm forgetting, like I said before i'm putting together a list of all the parts I've put on the car, I have a stack of reciepts. Looks like I've invested around $20K. Selling for $13K at a loss! NEW PRICE IS 10K WHILE IT LASTS!!! Please don't post unless your serious. I would consider trade for less'er fiero and cash.
See below a link of some pics from last fall. Car has been in storage in my garage for the last few months. PM me if your interested.
Sorry for all the people that PM'd me the first time I posted this, and I didn't reply. Truth was I didn't really want to sell, just had to show the fiancee I "made and effort to sell" Anyway, wedding bills are adding up, so looks like I'm going to have to sell her after all I still haven't taken the car out of storage in my garage from the winter, hoping to after the wedding in a couple weeks, I will take updated pics then, if I haven't sold yet. PM if interested, I am serious this time.

Went down and took a couple pics tonight in the garage for those who asked. Sorry she's a bit dirty, been stored since the fall. Interior needs a couple trim pieces put back on. I installed the new Pioneer deck over the winter. The t-tops are stored in the factory bags in the trunk right now, I took them off a couple weeks ago to start cleaning out the interior. Also bit of surface rust on the rotors from storage, should come off after a short ride up the street. Enjoy. Open to offers.

Try to answer some of the questions I've been getting here so everyone can see. If you want the VIN, please PM me and I'll be more than happy to send it. Interior was a work in progress, I started installing a stereo about a year ago, including Pioneer Head Unit, Subwoofer and AMP in the custom center console, new speakers etc.... The Deck is all hooked up and the front speakers. The Subwoofer is just layed in there now, not installed or wired. The amp is not installed either, hadn't decided either to install it behind the seat or up in the front spare tire compartment. All the parts are inlcuded, however I can't seem to find the metal bracket that keeps the radio surround plate on so it isn't installed either right now. Might of gotten thrown away when I recently moved? You should be able to pick one up for free here on the forum. Thats why the center console looks like it isn't quite fit, it is currently just laid in there. The paint on the car is not new, but pretty close. There is some spider webing on the rear bumper. The paint is not original I don't believe, especially since the mirrors were painted, which I think looks way better than black. For a driver car, the paint is well above average though. Perfect from 10 feet. As for issues with the car as it is now, there a few minor ones: - the fuel gauge currently doesn't work, not sure if it is the gauge or sender? The Tach is not correct now since I didn't recalibrate it since the V8 swap. I was going to replace the entire gauge assembly with Autometer's so I didn't worry about these too problems. Currently the car has Autometer Oil Pressure and Water Temp, installed where the Aux Gagues used to be. - There is no A/C in the car, when I did the swap I didn't use the bracket that mounts the compressor, I think I still have it and might just be able to bolt it on and get a new belt. However when I was doing the swap, it is a very tight fit between the exhuast and the A/C compressor, It also looked like it would of been near impossible to access the front Spark Plugs, so I opted not to install it. It has T-tops anyway, thats enough A/C for me. - I installed an Alarm/ Keyless entry system a while ago, it worked perfectly until I did the V8 swap. I think I unhooked it to keep the alarm from going off and forgot to hook back up the power wire. I might try and fix this weekend. - The rear Trunk (Decklid) electronic release isn't working. I think I forgot to reconnect the connector after I had installed the V8. Never bothered to investigate this much, I just use the Key to open the lid.
Someone asked why the wheels didn't have centercaps, thats just the way I bought them, not sure if you can even get centercaps to fit these wheels?? The car hasn't gotten much use the last year, or since the swap. Drove it a bit the first summer after the swap, no problems. Then I parked it for the Winter of 05/06. Never got around to taking it out of storage all of this past summer, too busy with getting married and work. I would start it up and run it around the block every few weeks, but thats it. I recently moved up here to Iowa for work, drove the car up on a trailer and towed it up with my truck. It currently isn't registered, expired back in fall of 2005 and never renewed it since I didn't use it. I toyed with the idea of selling for a while now, wasn't trying very hard though, wife keeps asking about it now though as its getting cold and she wants to park her Grand Cherokee in the garage this winter any more questions, send them my way.
Hope this helps, I'll try and answer any more Q's.

Little bit more History on the car I got from Paul V. Here on the forum.
I bought this car 2/6/2000 from Grace Hassard in Passaic Park, NJ. Had 93K on it. Had it shipped to me. Spent some $$$on it, Sold it to Steve LeBrecht in Oak Park IL. on 03/17/2000. I still have numerous color photos, paperwork, etc, on this car. Never heard about it after I sold it to Steve, but he was a local club member until 12/31/01, then no more contact.
