Time to trim the fleet a bit.
This car is very nice, well-sorted, ultra-reliable.
Class winner at the 2011 Wisconsin Dell's show.

I have seen and driven this car. very well put together. I know it would make any trip. My wife said no, well she said if I get it my formula would have to go to get this one. Other wise this would have already been sold. Joe did my 4.9 install, best job I ever saw. Joe, good luck with the sale.

Thanks Bobby, I appreciate you jumping in with your comments. Too bad she doesn't want her own little hotrod.

Joe, you are selling the Formula? I know this car and has one of the cleanest installs of a 4.9. Joe and I have gone to the Dells, Daytona and a lot of other shows. Nice car Joe, I will see if I can find some photos and post them.
Here are some pics of Joe's car I found:

$7500.
Let's start a lottery about "Good price" and "That's too high".
The car was professionally appraised at $10K and has been upgraded since the appraisal.
If someone out there is interested in the particulars of the car, it's a simple matter of sending me a PM and I will respond.

That is a really nice car... the pics are a little understated, the silver top and white bottom looked really good...

Good Price Too High Too Good High Price? Did i win the lottery? Seriously though, that's a nice clean looking car. Maybe a few shots of the motor and interior would help peak some interest...and I'd still like to see it regardless.

Nice car! Has it ever "lived" in Douglasville GA? I believe I've seen it at Ed's Swap Meet, but I thought that I had seen it here, too.

You may have seen it at Ed's many years ago when Vonov owned it, or you could have seen JGunsett's car - his is similar but the top is white, the bottom is silver. He used to have a 4.9, he's now gone to the dark side with LS3 power............. I've never had it to Douglasville. How recently?

Your car looks like a really nice car. If I had the room I would buy it.

Ah, okay. Knew I'd seen it before, in person.
Saw a similar paint scheme on a Formula in D'ville about 10-12 years ago, and then never saw it since.
Yours is beautiful and obviously built with care. Good luck with your sale.

I think that this car was painted in 2004 or 2005. It was red when the PO bought it. I get a lot of compliments on the color scheme, but I have to give credit to the PO for his taste. Initially, I was going to change the white part to black, but the combination grew on me and I left it alone. Thanks for the compliments, there is a lot of time invested in this car to get it where it is at today. I hate to sell it, but I won't need two V-8 Fieros, and I'm itching to get my 86 SE/88 cradle/4.9/4 speed project underway. Hope 2012 is better for you than 2011.

Very nice Fiero. I'm jealous of the 3.33 final, I'm still kicking myself for not doing that. GLWS.
