Thanks for the bump guys. I guess you can tell why I am selling my car from the picture. The funny thing is that the prancing horse in the background was just by chance. Tom

Thanks for your comments, sorry I didn't come across you sooner. You are definatly not the only Fiero owner in the area as there is the suncoast Fiero club in the area that has quite a few members. Just do a search on the web to find out more about it.

I really hope you get what you are asking, cause it sure looks like it is worth it, but we all know it is difficult to recoup what we put into these great little cars.
Will have to be the right buyer at the right time. Best of luck.
BTW can we get some more shots of the replacement (the prancing horse) ?

I have seen this car when Tom would bring it to the club meetings, without question worth every penny he is asking for and more. The car looks like it rolled off the asembly line with all the work he put into it. Wish you would have put this up for sale last year when I had the extra cash to purchase it, but such is life.

I am seriously trying to see if I can come up with the funds to purchase this, it would be funny to have that car parked next to your nephews old white 86 LOL. If the car is still for sale in 4 more months I might just dig up your old number and give you a call. By the way Tom, you still go to the Sun Coast meetings? was wondering how the old club has been doing since I left FL many many moons ago.

Just don't know why you don't give the car to your wife as a daily driver. Life has been going well for me as of late, I could complain but then who would listen? I have been planning a trip for a visit for some time. just can not get the time off of work to make it happen, I would love to stop in one of the meetings to see how everyone is doing.

No doubt a beautiful car! I can definately appreciate what you have done with her. I would love to have a t-top fiero, but i bought a 99 trans am back in February, and my wife would disown me if i brought another car home. I am curious as to where you got the gt \ v-8 center caps for the wheels? I would like to get something similar for my 87gt that i recently transplanted a 4.9 into.

Thanks a lot ss85fiero! Your Car looks very nice also! As for my center caps I had then custom made by my Nephew, but maybe you can find someone that can do it for you.
