Well the time has come to sell my formula. To start this off the car does run but I do not suggest it be driven away as it smokes a lot. Its unclear what the smoke is but im 99% sure its because of a cracked fuel line. I'm having my mechanic look at it in a few days as this was a result of a clutch install that was done.

the car has about 102K miles on it and has tons of work done to it. to list

85 muncy 4 speed transmission
3400 turbochard/intercooled engine.
3500 upper intake
caddy N* TB
Haltech fully tuneable ECU
Custom exhaust
Koni shocks and struts
WCF lowering springs
Rodney Dickman ball joints
Enki staggered wheels
full polly

I just had a brand new stage 3 street clutch installed in the car as well not even 50 miles on it.
And theirs much much more to list


I'm only looking to get about $2500 for the car I'm negotiable on the price But if i get my asking price I'll be throwing in a bunch of extras with the car including the 84 MY8 transmission I have.

As I said this car is fast as hell. I've opened it up a few times and it sure as hell can out run just about anything you throw at it. It is not for inexperienced drivers and i dont recommend it as a daily driver.

I'll be adding more pics later but heres some to start with

They look like 3rd gen camaro groundfx. I've been thinking about adding the early 90's ones with the air dams. Before I forget that seems like a great car n price to. Don't think it will last long.

Didn't you just buy this like 3-4 months ago? Why the quick sale?

My suggestion is maybe figure out what the smoking problem is. When you read add's that state "its an easy problem to fix" i always wonder why if its so easy, the owner doesnt fix it.

But that said, when this car was for sale a few months ago, i almost went for it. The fast turnaround may scare off others as well.

Toss in some engine pics, the pics of the engine were the thing that I really liked. I love the idea of cutting out the trunk wall.

Good luck

Rob

This is going to be gone quick, the owner before PK was asking about $4k, this is almost for half and I was tempted to buy this car the first time around. I wish I had the room for it!

PK changes Fieros more often than he changes his underwear (I know, that's not saying much ). Did you do anything with the interior? If I remember correctly, I didn't like the interior of this car much for some reason.

Nah I've had it close to a year and its done more sitting than running... cuz of the clutch problem i had. The new clutch works great it catches a lot better and i also have a new flywheel in it. I'm having the car towed to my mechanic's in a few days if its a simple fix I'm gona fix it and the price will be adjusted accordingly to how well it runs.

The main reason I'm selling it is that I want to sell it to fund a small temporary engine swap into my IMSA. I'm getting tired of seeing it sitting.

Got any more pics of the engine / interior / front compartment? That deck lid looks sooooo familiar. Do you now if it was purchased by someone in Pennsburg? BTW, drop me a PM with your addy (or cell #) in Downingtown, I get out that way quite often when my insulation crews (Premier) are doing work for PECO. Maybe I can sop by to see the IMSA. Was that stickman's old car?

Yup, the decklid came from my buddy up there. It was my old car. Sideskirts are modded 3rd Gen Camaro. And PK, the wheels are MB Motorsports, not Enkei.

NO. That decklid should never be separated from this car, unless it is for my Formula which deserves it more than your Formula.
