I was able to get a couple pictures of the red GT I had mentioned before... odometer looked like it read 105,000 It's an automatic, center volt/oil pressure gauges, power windows/mirrors, didn't look for power locks, but I'd assume so if it had power windows/mirrors.

I wish I would've had my camera with me (cause I know how you guys like pictures) but I saw a truly remarkable Fiero today. My dad wanted to go to a car show in the Jim Dandy parking lot in Greenfield so that's what we did. One of the first cars I notice is an 85 GT with the drivetrain mounted longitudinally. And not with the Toronado/El Dorado transaxle. This thing had the engine (a nice-looking small block Chevy) in front. He did have to cut the uni-body here and there but it seemed to be largely intact. He had braced it up real good and rear was tubbed out. I'm guessing maybe 16" wide tires.
I did get to talk with the owner some and pointed him toward this forum. He was also interested in the 30th show next year so if I can't manage to get any pics, you might see it there.
Saw 6 great looking Fieros cruising Mid-Michigan yesterday. Must have been the Capitol City Fieros group. Great day for a cruise. Glad I was there!
Looking forward to the Driving Excitement weekend in late July. Those 6 and many more at the Jackson show Fri. and the track Sat. with another cruise Sun. Should be one great weekend.
Saw a a nice looking black formula at Blake's Buffet in Wilmington, OH today. Did not have time to stop and gawk, but it was a looker from what I could tell.

Whereabouts do you live again? I've seen it in the Northwest/Oro Valley area... Once on Tangerine near La Canada, once pulling into a C.K at Oracle/Hardy and the pics I got were in the parking lot next to the La Cholla Walmart.
Yeah I thought I was the only one who snaps photos of other people's Fieros. I have a photo of basically every Fiero I've seen while working. I've posted a few of them on here... But I don't know if I'm making anyone mad by posting a picture of their car online.
Here's the last one I saw while working. There's 2-3 others only a few blocks from this guy. A red one and a black one at different houses. Makes me miss the inspections I used to do in this area.

This was a strange sighting since it wasn't by one of the Fiero community members. A young man was taking a picture of his Fiat that he bought and after considerable work, had just gotten it on the road. As he took the picture, he saw another yellow car and watched as it passed. He spotted it another day and tracked it down to my driveway. See the yellow Fiero just to the right of the front of the dump truck in the background?
We spent considerable time talking and when I told him about Run For The Hills, he wanted to know if he could participate, too.

South of DM, But I travel to every part of Tucson on a frequent basis...
This is so weird, pages of other people who stalk Fiero owners too... I don't think you'll find such enthusiastic stalkers on a mustang or camaro forum.
I ran across 2 Gold Fieros at a rough looking farm on a recent sales trip. They were on different parts of the yard and looked complete from the quick look I had as we were driving past. Not sure if they were drivers, parts cars, or one of each. I wish I had some extra cash laying around so I could stop in and see if either one was for sale... If nothing else, maybe I could steer the owner to the Forum if he's (or she's) a fellow Fiero freak.

That's because there are a whole lot more Mustangs and Camaros running around than Fieros. You can't throw a rock without hitting a Mustang or Camaro.

Strange. I saw a silver fastback in a neighorhood late last Wednesday morning around 03:00hr. I missed my turn off onto hwy 280 north. I ended up going to the next exit on hwy 85 and was going to swing back around, but once I got off I couldn't make it back onto the hwy becuase of contsruction work so I took a side street that ran along side the hwy. it was during this time I noticed the Fiero. Keep in mind I was lost and it was in the wee hours, but still manage to find a Fiero parked. The area was Cupertino,Ca. ( upscale area judging by the homes). I remember saying to myself, "Now ain't that something. I'm lost and it's 3am, but I manage to find a Fiero-fastback at that."

Of course But, the excitement about it is awesome none the less lol. Not only do we remember it was a fiero, but we remember the color and other visual appearances. Every Fiero I've seen on the streets, I remember where I saw it, and what color it was, and whether it was a fastback or notchback. I think that's only like 8 Fieros total though
So my brother and I were in san francisco today attending one of the actions and I seen this in the custom cars lane. I knew right off what it was as my brother asks what
This is what I would call a 30/20...........
Looks good 20ft away at 30mph
I was like wow $5,200 and no V8
Just my opinion but I don't think 88 with low miles should be modified this way there are so few left
Saw a red notchie pass by as I was in the drive through at Starbucks in Cuyahoga Falls/Stow Ohio. Didn't even have time to think about grabbing a camera.
Saw a red fastback as I left work in downtown Tulsa a couple of weeks ago. I tried to take a picture of it but was unsuccessful because I was driving. I don't know what year it was but it seemed to be in good shape. It was eastbound on 3rd Street at Elgin.
Replica. Well, sorta. I don't know what of, other than a Ferrari model. I've seen that rear end on other Fiero rebodies on this forum. I want to say 338 but I'm not positive.

The front looks weird. Like, 3000gt body kit, or squarish Supra bodykit. Doesn't look very Ferrari like.
All it was listed as was a 88 fiero with 28K no inpho on what kind of kit. Up close you could see that it was porrley put together a lot of scraches through the paint.
Just posted my first topic and mentioned that there are four Fieros in my town...one that I've noticed the last few days parked at a deli about a quarter of a mile away. Now, after seeing this topic, I remember that I recently saw an orange SE, a blue GT and a yellow Formula in neighboring towns. Seems to be quite a few Fieros around here. Strange, because every time I pull into a gas station to fuel up or someone sees me getting out of my car at a supermarket or convenience store etc I usually hear: "Wow, I haven't seen one of these for years!"
