Up for sale, formerly the fastest mid-engine fiero. Belonged to Pat Ciarcia. The car at one time ran a 10.3 in the 1/4.
These pictures were taken when i first got the car, but nothing has really changed. More info on the cars history can be had here http://www.v8archie.com/pat.htm
First the bad. Pat's motor is no longer in it. I believe the motor in it is a stock chevy 305. That motor knocks, not hard, but it's there.
The good. Fuel cell, full roll cage. Been lowered 2" Archie's V8 kit used Lots of good drag parts and hardware (nice light aluminum wheels) Comes with another chevy block. I believe it to be a 327. I got it from a friends project build. Included, new pistons, forged and ground crank, and heads of some sort. I can shoot pictures if anyone is interested.
The real good $1,500.00 (sorry this is FIRM) I think this a very good price for what you get. I'm taking a big loss, but i just don't have time or the knowledge to do anything with it.

Is this car street legal at all? does it have a title.
It wouldn't take much to make it street legal, at least where i live. This could vary dependent on upon how your state (or locality) views things like 5 point racing harnesses, non original engine configurations and smog control. Most of the original equipment as far as lights and the horn and so on are there. I think the pop-up light motors need the little plastic rollers redone. I have the title, but i never registered it so i don't know what it would take to get it signed over. I've priced the thing pretty low so if something needs to be done to fix the paperwork it should still be a steal.

Yup, the TH125. Thanks! I've kind of moved on from fieros and just thinning out the herd.

What a great time to stop in and visit them! I'll take some more shots to post this weekend. At this point there is only one seat, but i have another new aluminum bucket and pad ready to go in it. As far as the transmission being good, when i last drove it, everything seemed to work okay, but this thing has had a lot of power through it, so it could last 50,000 miles or 5 feet. The car is being sold as is, where is. U load, U haul. That's why i've priced it where i feel is very fair. It is a huge loss on my end but i've not the time, nor the drive to work on it at this point in my life.

Thanks! I'm taking a great hosing on it, but that's the way it goes. It is gone already! FieroGTGuy and i are working it out. I'm going to miss it. It's not like i did anything with it, but it's something i always wanted. I just don't have the talent, knowledge, or the time to do it right.

This makes me want to cry. I saw myself working on this, and driving it down the track. I was going to work on this while my GT was at Archie's getting chopped, but now I have to work on it just in order to drive it up to Archie's. It's making noise, and losing charge. If I can't fix mine, then I'm probably in the same boat with John with not being knowledgable enough. It shouldn't sit any longer than it has, and hope it will be at a track or show sooner than I would be able to have it ready.
Hopefully, it will be for the best, and I can give John more than what I paid.
that would be something to see ... good luck on this sale ... a real steal !!!!
