!!!!!SOLD!!!!!

$1600 firm - it is worth that in parts







if no one wants it, I will keep fixing it up, may be even drive it.
I have a truck and trailer and would consider delivery for a fee.
pics coming soon.

The bads
The car has 235k on it.
The engine leaks - looks like rear valve cover
The headlight motors stay up because one quit working properly. The motors actually move the headlights fine, one just won't stop the motor from running anymore when it's either up or down (I forget)
Needs paint
Needs tires
The interior is probably a 5 out of 10. I've seen worse, but it's rough. No radio. (can put one in if you want)
A/C doesn't work, but I was told the compressor was replaced, just not recharged (unconfirmed).
Those are the worst things I can think of, but there are more little nagging issues.

The good and the mods:
Getrag 5-speed
New Clutch
3.4 ARI stroker with around 15k (so I was told)
Ported Heads (Not verified by me, but they seem to have been rebuilt at least)
Roller Rockers
Comp Cams camshaft (nice lope!)
Sprint headers
Poly bushings all around
Intrax (IIRC) lowering springs
'88 GT gold lace wheels

It'd be an awesome project car, autocross car, or parts car depending on what one would want to do with it.

couple questions. What is with all of the red wiring in the engine, under dash, front hood? can you fonfirm that it is a 3.4 engine? could it drive to illinois?

the wiring in the back is a little weird, because someone installed a MSD in it, but it went bad - you can pull it out.

The front has some weird wiring, it needs cleaned up a little, but it all works.

I don't see any reason it would'nt drive to Il, though since I have had it, about 6 months, the oil leak has gotten worse. Where at in Illinoise?

How far is it from Tx to Ohio?---

nice - same distance as last time

you don't want to come up now - 8 inches of snow and ice.

I am going to be in town this weekend is there any way that i could come and take a look at it?

and about the engine, that is what I was told by the person who bought the car from the person who put the engine in - I will see if I can get some paper work.

Yeah, I sold it to Madess. What he says about the engine is true (most of the description is from my original FS thread), it's an ARI stroker from what I was told. It's quite likely that it is, but I had no visible proof.
FWIW, if it has the same tires on it, they need replaced before it's taken on any long trip, they had dry rot in the treads. That's dangerous for everyone.

IMO the car is worth what he's asking, for parts if nothing else (as mentioned).

Good luck Madess (still).

Yeah, the tires are dry rotted, I have an extra set, I was going to throw, in unless someone was buying it for the 88 gold rims, then we would have to work out something.

I'm pretty interested. How easy could the wiring be put back to stock? What is the exhaust condition (new gaskets?)? What shape is the suspension in? Pics of the frame rails?
Will it need brakes any time soon?

There is only a little bit of wire jerry rigging, dont think it would be to hard to clean it up. If you wanted it to be a show car and match colors and everything it would be a little more work.

I don't know how knew the exhaust gaskets are, but the exhaust was garbage, I just cut off. I am going to pick up exhaust from a friend, right now it doesn't have a cat, but I could change that pretty easily.

I can get more pics

Suspension is tight, with the poly, kyb's and lower springs.

Brakes on the back look good, I will check the front.

Oh man I wanted this car when it was local, why are you selling so soon?

Is just the cat missing, or is there no exhaust at the moment?

quote Originally posted by turbo86se: Oh man I wanted this car when it was local, why are you selling so soon?

from when I bought it was a possiblity of selling it, depending on how many projects I had at the time, and right now I am full up, and don't need another car, so if someone wants it.

for those asking about trunk rust

i am in louisville, ky
i might come look at it this week or next if you still have it.
would it make the trip back to louisville on those tires?

yeah, I think it would make it on the tires, I am picking up a nicer set if you would be interested in those.

[This message has been edited by Madess (edited 02-14-2009).]

pm or email me a number i can reach you at
id like to come by this weekend or the weekend after, and most likely take it home with me

Mine now. Beautiful car. Can't wait 'till autocross season.

Is that Alltrbo's "deathtrap," as he called it?

-Michael

Still without a running Fiero, yes. :/ At the rate I'm going it'll be another 10 years before the '88 project is on the road, but I'm making painfully slow progress. I'm having withdrawals bad, and I need to get it out of the garage.
The gold '88 GT wheels on this car came from my '88.

I'm glad Tj got the newly minted "Dino", formerly known as "Deathtrap", it sounds like he'll enjoy it. For the record, I named it Deathtrap before I fixed a few issues. If the tires have been changed, that title can now officially be relinquished.

I suppose we should let this FS thread die, Tj, you should post up a project thread about it!

[This message has been edited by ALLTRBO (edited 03-26-2009).]

yeah, project thread sounds good

and, Steven, you're still in a better position than me, in a manner of speaking, for I've never had a running Fiero for more than a week or so! But that's soon to change, God willing.
