Finally decided to sell this car. I decided to focus on my new GT and can't have this many cars. Below is the car description details. This is not a restoration project. As you can see basically other than paint and one dew wipe this car is finished. It has most of the desirable restoration mods done by Fiero owners plus a 3.4 with a Nitrous kit. Have receipts for most of it. This car runs excellent and I wouldn't be afraid to drive it any distance. With the 3.4 and the 5 speed it is very balanced and a real joy to drive. Asking $5900 OBO. No trades nor financing. Great investment of your tax refund Thanks

Drivetrain:
Clutch is a new Spec-3 with less than 2K miles since I put the 5 speed.
New slave and master cylinders (done with 5 spd conversion)
New shift cables
New clutch pedal
Axle stabilizers for Getrag (Rodney’s)
All poly bushings front and back
Braided brake lines
Slotted/drilled rotors (pads less than 4k mi)
FS lowering coils all around.

Interior:
Grant Steering wheel
ACC carpet
FS headliner
New visors (Fiero Thomas)
Pioneer head unit with Line in connector (1.5mm and RCA) for iPOD
Infinity Kappa Five-Z 5 Channel Class-D Amplifier (50 watts RMS x 4 ch at 4 ohms and 350 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms)
Short shifter
Custom leather knob

Interior is in great shape. Seats are perfect and trim restored. Car has no rust in frame. Only the basic surface rust that every Fiero will have. This has been a FL car all the time as far as I know. I bought it in 2001.

Needs:
The paint has suffered from being outside but it still is a head turner.
Passenger side outer dew wipe needs replacement

To be noted:
Shifter console trim is the dark gray (not dot-matrix)
Front speakers work fine but are not a matched set.
Amp has sub wired but no sub box will be included. I have a Fiero stock sub setup that I can sell if wanted.
135k mi on chassis if that matters to you after reading all the above

My favorite car on the forum. Looks nothing short of spectacular in person.
Unfortunately, I don't have the funds or a place to keep it.

Good luck with your sale.
Someone will be getting a gorgeous car.

Great looking car. Any idea on the 0-60 time without the nitrous? HP? This is not a Fiero yellow. Different but great looking. Is this a custom color or did you get the color code from another car?
Let me know if you will be taking this car to Daytona. I'd love to see it.

Thanks. The color is called Solar Yellow if I remember correctly. I have the code. This yellow came in the 2002-03 Lexus IS (250?). I saw the car and went into a Lexus forum to get the code. I haven't dynoed it but I estimate about 180rwhp. Before that 3.4 with a stock cam and stock Fiero intake it did 150rwhp. Not planning to take it to Daytona as of now.
Thanks all for the nice comments.

That sale was freaking fast!!!

I'm glad as I was able to hear its kick-ass exhaust at least once.
