Mmmm, Fiero.

Looks like an 85 GT, you can see the V6 intake, and the ground effects.

Is it bad I see useable parts on the car?

EDIT to add the pics for posterity

The just pulled a cyro tank from the Space Shuttle Columbia out of a lake in Nacogdoches that had dropped due to the drought. If this record breaking drought continues they might find Jimmy Hoffa in Texas.

If you look closely, you can see the frame broke. That's some nasty corrosion!

Well, on the up side it did appear to hold up a little better than the 57 Belvedere they buried in Tulsa.

Funny just how many of those body panels look completely salvageable. Would be nice if someone managed to get a hold of them before it gets scrapped.

That's the first thing I thought to since they mentioned it being there since 1990. Such a shame to see a low mile all original car living at the bottom of the water...

Nahh, those of us from Michigan know where Jimmy is.

Buried under the 50 yard line in the Silverdome Stadium. 3rd 55 gallon drum to the left.

I'm from Nacogdoches, shame that most people only know of it because of the Columbia.

Yeah unfortunately that is Nacogdoches' claim to fame. But it's not the city's fault it got rained on by space debris.

I've managed to pass through it a bunch of times on 59 (a few times in a Fiero) but never stopped there. Maybe I will some day.

Not missing much. It's a college town and has more restaurants than anything else but there are a few cool things to do there.

Yup. In the BBB (before Ben & Becca) era of Texas Fiero ownership... We had a Ruckus down there. Good one too... Ruckus 7. I almost got shot. Literally.
Hit points of interest all around Lufkin and Nacadoches.

The local paper says that waterlogged Fiero was reported stolen long ago, so I guess it sits in police impound for awhile.

In the bottom pic the steering wheel is on an angle and just to the left it looks like a guys face is looking at you. Perhaps a skeleton.
