Whoa......That is one weird looking Fiero.....The headlights are probably not legal....Too low.....He cut away the covers over the taillights......And I don't know what is going on with the seats and the headliner........Doesn't say what it has for an engine- assuming it's duke.......There is a Fiero guy out by Patterson...."IMSA GT" is his title on Pennocks.....
"Exterior good condition" if you ignore Complete crap on the body... god knows what else is wrong w/ the car. Body so bad likely has hack the wiring, suspension, etc.

i just realized that car is near me. Maybe I should go out and see it. I could drive my '87 GT that is not all jacked up just to show what a Fiero is supposed to look like.
A functional roof scoop from the looks of it, not pretty but should be functional.
The only way that apparatus could be "functional" is if those two vent panels on the underside of the roof (inside the car) are actually connected to those two shop vac hoses leading to the engine bay. It is beyond comprehension.
I can't even figure out what that thing on the hood is supposed to be. A scoop? For what purpose? There's already a buildup of air pressure being created behind the radiator while traveling forward.

Im seriously considering buying it, I could pull some serious chick action w that thing. Too bad im in the wrong dimension! Oh well, man im really digging the hood scoop thats pure beef right there. Take that thing on street outlaws!
The hood scoop looked familiar to me but I couldnt figure out what it was. It really looks like the auto pool filler thingie. It hangs over the pool edge and has a float valve. That lambo looks good hes done the stretch, look at the engine room.
The roof scoop with the flex tube hoses really makes this car totally unique. Looks like a South of the Border style!

The "Roof Scoop" is a dead ringer for one of the little robots on the movie "Silent Running" Dewey, I believe its name was. Bruce Dern would love that scoop!

The "roof scoop" is actually the car's heater. You notice it has no opening to scoop air into the engine bay, but it does line up perfectly with the round thing in the roof in the interior shot. I think that is a vent. There is a blower motor in there somewhere that pushes the heat from the engine forward into the passenger compartment. You can control the speed of the blower, but the only way to control the temperature is to run the engine hotter or cooler with gear selectino and then further balance it out by rolling the windows down when you're getting cooked.

The new owner better watch out for an exhaust leak or residual exhaust fumes. Carbon Monoxide is odorless and extremely lethal.

No, no, no... you've got it all backwards. The airflow goes the other way. It's a car custom-designed for smokers (of any substance). Their obnoxious fumes get drawn into the underside roof vent, transported through those flex hoses to the engine's intake, and thusly burned. It's a brilliant system I tell ya... brilliant!

You're right! After looking at it a second time this makes perfect sense. Any time you get randomly stopped in states where potentially less than legal substances are being utilized in the car the officer will never know because the smoke and smells will be getting sucked into the engine bay! Even better if the car has an exhaust leak so the smell of exhaust covers any smells as he approaches the car from the rear.
