I brought it home just for the drivetrain. It will be going in my latest 88 project. Yes, this was Billybo455's car.
Just looking to see if there is any serious interest in this car before I scrap it out. I'd sell it without a drivetrain for $1000.
I can deliver it wherever you'd like it.
I also have an 85,000 mile 2.8 that I will be replacing with the 3800 from this car. It has a Getrag that has no play at all in the carrier bearings. I have never seen such a tight, smooth shifting Getrag. Anyway, I'll want $1,000 for the entire dropout too. I bought it for $500 and put over $500 in additional items to get it back on its feet. I was intending to keep the 2.8 when I was resurrecting it. So I put in a new water pump, thermostat, belt, hoses, fuel filter, spark plugs, transmission mounts, CV axle, etc... It will have everything from the oil pan to the air filter included in the deal. Alternator, AC Compressor, everything. New clutch slave, new clutch master, pedal assembly, shifter and cables also included.
I doubt anybody will want it but you never know.
86 Gt Nice suede seats or like new factory grey seats from my 88. Your choice. Black repaint but not recent. 6 out of 10. (edit-upon closer inspection the decklid paint is really bad, chipping and flaking) Has rear spoiler with good wing stands. (edit - upon further inspection stands are good but spoiler is warped - We just threw the decklid in the bed of the truck and I didn't really look at it until last night - sorry)) 12" Corvette brakes with 88 Fiero calipers. KYB shocks and struts. Fiero store sway bars and lowering springs. 18" Helio wheels with Toyo Proxes tires (tires not that great of shape but drivable). The wheels look nice but need a cleaning and some polishing. Good headliner. Original sail panels in good shape. Trailer hitch.
The trunk floor has been cut out. The front bumper has a hole in it from a trailer hitch. The tail lights are in pretty rough shape. I don't know if I'll get the vent louvers for it or not. No radio. It has been sitting for 2-3 years.
I'll give it two weeks, then I'll start stripping parts off of it. I know $1,000 is a lot for a project car like this but with all the aftermarket suspension stuff, I will definitely be able to get more than that for it by stripping it out.

I'll keep you in mind for the wheels. Others have expressed interest too. But until I officially pull the plug and start stripping the car, I don't want to start coming up with prices for all of the parts yet.
Yeah I'm going to put the engine back together like Blake had it last... Turbo. But he had the heads ported by a friend of his that specializes in Grand Nationals and added a custom ground cam. It never got fully reassembled after he added these. I'm also adding a bigger (Bosch 040) fuel pump. He was using a blocked off and gutted SC housing. I have a nice L26 intake from when I put the Series3 in my wife's car. So I'm going to use that and perhaps the ZZP HV3 High Velocity Insert.
It's not that nice. The wheels are okay and the paint on the sides looks good. The best part about the car is all of the extra suspension goodies. Otherwise, it's not that great. It would never be a show car. A driver, maybe. A great race car... But it doesn't look like there's any interest in it as a whole package.

As much as I would like to just unload all of this stuff quickly at minimal prices, I have to get as much money as I can from this car. The wife's been busting my bells for over a month for buying Blake's car. So I have to make back what I'm paying for the car plus (if at all possible) what I'll be needing to get the engine and transmission up and running in mine. I doubt I'll get enough to finish the project but every nickel I can squeeze from this car is a nickel I won't have to squeeze from "the boss."
I have listed what I believe to be fair prices. If you disagree, be sure to offer what you think is fair.
So let's jump right into it... All parts are located in Winter Springs, Fl 32708 and are from an 86 GT with T-Tops unless otherwise noted. I prefer not to ship the really large items but will do so if I have to in order to get things sold. I might be able to deliver stuff too, in Central Florida. Shipping charges are not included in the asking prices listed below. I am also planning a trip to Atlanta next weekend. So if you're somewhat between here and there, I can drop it off, no extra charge.

Pictures!!! Here you can see the tail lights and the warp in the wing.
Tail lights - Lots of delamination - No broken mounting tabs I have noticed that some of the clips are broken where the lens attaches to the base. Click on the pictures for Hi Res details.
Anybody need the little triangular trim piece?
Nice outer dew wipes
Nice set of suede seats
Gloss black round trim and marker lights. All pieces including the front nubs. Of course, the trim on rear bumper is part of the bumper.
18" Helios wheels and Toyo Proxes tires. Decent tread but tires are kinda hard. Early signs of dry rot. The wheels are dirty. I haven't cleaned them yet. There are areas that will need polishing and some minor pitting of the aluminum. I will polish and seal the areas in need, but will charge more at that point.
And then the T-Tops The trim all should clean up pretty nice. The seals are still plyable, not hard or smashed. There does appear to be some kind of sealant at the outer edges. The locks work (key included) The tint on the glass is wrinkled and crappy looking. I can redo if you'd like.
And in this one you can see the cloth visors too

pm sent on the brakes we dicussed........................
1988 Brake details: The 1988 brake packages do not include brake lines but your current ones should work. The 13" rotors are included. None of the 12" rotors are included. I am using the stock Fiero master and booster and loved these brakes. The fronts will lock before the rears but under normal pressure you shouldn't have any issues. If you're regularly autocrossing, install a brake bias adjuster valve. We never needed it and it is a daily driver.
13" Front brakes Calipers from 95 or a 97 ZR1 Corvette. Anyway they are the Heavy Duty model. The rotors are thicker and the calipers have a wider pad area to account for the thicker rotor. Working perfectly since installed 3 years ago. In order to install, you'll need to remove some metal from around the caliper mounting bolt holes. A couple minutes with the grinder. Not hard. The one on the left in this picture is stock. The one on the right is modified.
You could also remove metal from the abuttment bracket. But that's how I screwed the 12" set up... As you can see here, there is still plenty meat on the bones...
The caliper is centered perfectly.
They barely fit inside our 17" rims. But the pads are ALL the way out on the outside edge of the rotor too.

'88 12" rear C4 brakes This is what they looked like installed.
I never got the E-brake reconnected. The wife was complaining about it. So I went back to an 88 caliper on 12" rotors. These were removed about a year ago and put on a shelf in the garage. Rotors not included. They're cheap and heavy. It's not worth it to ship the rotors.

Does not include the battery retainer hold down and bolt. I had it held in place with rivets. Then I bought the whole sheet metal section from somebody and welded that piece in place. The plastic section was never installed.

Sorry, I haven't been able to get people's shipping info yet. My heater took a crap the day it finally hit freezing temps in Florida. That took a couple days to get fixed.

is it possible to get a shipping quote for the black suede seats to 38128 if they are still available? I'm thinking as much as the seats themselves, but my seats are trashed and haven't found a suitable replacement.
Also interested in the poly cradle bushings, and are the poly suspension for the 84/87?
also sent a pm with same questions.

I have finally gotten the car stripped to the point I can call the salvage yard and arrange for its removal. Sorry it has taken so long. I don't know why I took a week off of work. I just had to do two weeks worth when I got back... lol But I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with stripping this car down. I updated the parts list with the current status of everything.
Chane, I know you say you want that front bumper, but I will post some detailed pictures of it tomorrow. Hopefully somoeone local to you might pipe up and help you out. Otherwise I'll still send it to you if you still want it. I didn't forget.

It will get cut off tomorrow night. I'll then have to build a wood crate for it. I plan to bolt the pillars to uprights at each corner of the crate so it stays secure during shipment. I'll reassemble the T-Top components so it's all together when you get it.
Will a shipping quote by next Friday work for you or do you need it sooner?

Nope, that will be fine. No rush, the car is in storage for the winter. I thought you had forgotten about me that's all.
