Just wanted to see if there's anyone in Chicago who could check out this car for me? https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum4/HTML/079771.html Seller doesn't have a smartphone to take more pictures (is a bit older). The car has a lot of "add ons" cosmetically but I can deal with that. More interested in mechanical and structural condition. Let me know. Thanks!

Bought my first Fiero in Chicago 20 years ago, took an 11-hour train ride and cash to get there from PA, basically rolled the dice...

Next thing I knew I was driving it back to PA, it was a 500 mile trip, maintaining 70-75 mph the whole way without a license plate because Illinois only issued a small yellow temporary tag in rear window, and I did it non-stop in 7 hours flat, with a very calculated re-fuel halfway home at the 250 mile mark while leaving the engine running Gumball Rally Style, and that was with a 1987 10-gallon fuel tank with only 8 useful gallons to count on, talk about fearing the Fiero fuel needle resting on E !!!
(I even used the gas station bathroom with engine running at the pump because I was afraid to shut it off, lol)

If you don't find anyone in the next day or two, let me know over the weekend and I might know somebody depending on proximity as a last resort...
