***Car is sold.***

Thanks all!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

88 Fiero coupe with full Formula conversion including instrumentation, drivetrain and suspension w/ rear sway bar. Everything but the VIN.
Has Grooms 3.4 shortblock with custom ported heads and lower intake. ($800 worth of just head work.)
Trueleo intake and Darrell Morse throttle body.
Crane H-272 cam. (Probably the "fattest" cam that will fit in this engine without extensive head work.)
19lb. Bosch injectors
FOCOA headers.
Getrag 5 speed rebuilt by Mantrans. Shifts fine. No noises. Only a few thousand miles.
SPEC clutch.
Newer clutch master and slave cylinders. Installed with tranny.
A/C.
Power windows.
Tilt wheel and delay wipers.
Trunk popper.
Mr. Mikes leather.
New headliner and visors.
Fiero Store glove box.
Plush Fiero Store floor mats.
Delco CD player with EQ from mid 90s(?) Pontiac. Looks just like stock Fiero radio.
Wiring for MP3 player.
Fairly new cat and Ocelot exhaust. GT tips. (Sounds nice with the cam. )
Has Fiero Warehouse whale tail.
Has clear headlight housings with replaceable halogen bulbs. Better than even Silverstars.
Could use paint, but it doesn't look bad.
ECM has been relocated to inside firewal behind passenger seat.
The five-spokes are already spoken for. Will include polished and dark gray repainted stock 88 Formula wheels.

The bad?
The upper surfaces, particularly the hood, could stand to be repainted.
The piping on the drivers seat is kind of worn.
The reverse lights don't work. This is part of the tranny linkage. The wiring and switch are both good.
Has a crack in the right front fender. I have a replacement '88 red fender. Just hasn't been enough of an issue to change it.
There's a dent in the drivers side floor pan. I was doing a gravity bleed on the clutch and jacked it in the wrong place. It doesn't really hurt anything, but it's definitely a WTF moment.

I built this car to be reliable.
I would be comfortable jumping in and driving it anywhere.
Southern car. Garaged for most of its life.
Zero rust.
Carfax will show a minor off-road excursion. Happened before I bought it.

My asking price is $3500.

For full price I will include:
A complete fastback conversion, including the clip, decklid, tail lights, D-plates, grilles and harness.
A *perfect* hood. It's black in color but the finish is flawless and shiny as glass. Came off of a low mile Formula that got a "norms front end" treatment.
A pair of Fiero Warehouse IMSA side scoops, similar to the ones on my gray car.
I'll throw in a short shifter that Fieroguru made. Was too short for me.

I will include a bad Getrag that can be used for parts, if any are required to fix the reverse lights issue.

I will also consider trade for 1st gen ('82-'93) S10 with V6 and extended cab only. +/- Cash.

Why am I selling?
My gray 4.9 is too spendy for most folks.
We're armpit-deep in cars. I need to thin the herd, and I also need a truck.









Some of the porting work.






More pics. Added 7/25...
Regarding the dent in the floor...
It's at the left end of the heel pad.
You can't so much see it as feel it.


This is what the dent looks like from under the car.
Thought about trying to pull it back out but figured a small dent was preferable to drilling a hole in the floor.




As I mentioned, the piping is worn on the driver's seat back.
The bolster is scuffed a bit in the usual place.






[/img]

















I've got more pics, but PIP freaked out on me.
Think I gave it a brain cramp.
I'll post them later.

I can get any other pics that you want. Just ask.

Raydar: Is there a reason for the honeycomb wheel being posted ? Always thought your 88 coupe was one of the nicer ones. The wheels and spoiler really set it off.

Notice the nice black edges? He took the tire into Glamour Shots to get it a Senior picture... Seriously, no idea.

Thanks!

I posted in the ad that the 5 spoke wheels are spoken for. The car will include the Formula wheels.
They have been stripped, polished and repainted "argent" gray.
The tires that are mounted are Eagle GT IIs in stock Formula sizes with very good tread, but they're several years old.
They are not cracked or dry rotted, but I will replace them with new ones if desired.

I was given a ride in this car at the Fiero Factory Swap Meet this year in April, Hell of a nice car, pretty quick. Too bad I don't have any money.

Are you SURE you don't accept kidneys? Because I'm young and healthy! Your car has been the model of what I want for my Formula, if I had money to tinker a lot! Good luck man.

Thanks Tom! Updated.

Lilchief... They are Borbet Type FS, IIRC. 17x7 and 17x8.

Flimbob... Still owe you pics. Haven't forgotten you. Got busy doing yard work today.

Looks like I'm going to be painting my A-Pillars black when I repaint mine - what a good look. This car was my background for a while. Everything just works. Can't buy it, but here's a bump.

WOW just saw the price. What a deal...

Matt (Madess?) is picking it up. Not until Sunday night, though.
Seems like I also heard Savannah mentioned, although I could be mistaken.
Sounds like he's making a real expedition of it.

Matt (Madess) is racing on Saturday I think in Savannah, GA and then getting the car on the way home... Rough weekend... Glad I didn't get into this trip. LOL.

Just got the car last night. It's great!

As for the racing that was mentioned earlier, we've been racing a Fiero in the 24 Hours of Lemons and ChumpCar for a few years. Last year we had a top 10 finish in South Carolina.

https://www.fiero.nl/forum/A...100421-1-075287.html

The race car was the first Fiero I'd ever driven, and what got me interested.

Thanks again,

Dave
