1985 Fiero GT 4.9--$3,000

Hello friends on the forum. I have been building this for the past several years, and have become too disabled due to a back injury to finish (or even drive it). I will be retiring soon to California, where I won't be able to register it anyway, so it's time to sell it to someone who can get the most out of it. Below is most of the relevant information. I will be happy to answer any questions as well!

Good luck with sale. Do have one question, what rims are those? What offsets did you use?

I'm sorry--I can't remember which offset I used. I knew I was going to need offsets that would allow the wider tires to stay tucked inside the fender wells, but I can't recall what I settled on, but they ended up being a perfect fit! I bought the wheels with the tires at Les Schwab (a chain in the Northwest) when I lived in Seattle.

There is a shop in Spokane, WA that specializes in Caddy 4.9 rebuilds (recommended by a few shops in Seattle, so I took it over there. Sorry, have no idea who their supplier was.
