I AM NOT SELLING THIS STUFF! If interested please contact Mike at his Phone number found in the craigslist posting linked below......
A good older friend of mine Mike is selling off alot of his Fiero parts, including whole 2.8 engines, 3.4 engines, several trans including a getrag, over 20 dashes. Also he has several whole cars available, he has been stripping and fixing fieros for many years so basically anything you want he probably has.
I took this pic of his basement a few years ago
The black 88gt is my car which I bought last year, to my knowledge he does not have any other 88 GTs, but he may have a 88 duke.
why on earth would he hoard all this crap?? Fascinating enough that I might stop by next week when I am in Ohio
Talked to him yesterday. Plan to go by today. If there's anything anybody would like me to check for, let me know. I'll have my Android phone w/ me so will get alerted if you p.m. me.
i called mike today and he called me back and i went to his house today to look at some parts. i ended up buying more than i planned since mike had everything i was looking for. he is a great guy to deal with and has been collecting parts since 1995. at one time he had 38 cars and now has around 15 or so. he has parted out many cars and did a great job in removing everything and storing the parts. he knows what he has and has a good grasp on what things are worth but he is very reasonable to deal with. he has everything you could want from all types of fieros. here are a few pics of what he has. he will admit most of his parts are used parts but a lot of them are in great shape and some in driver shape and priced accordingly. i went to the atm twice because i kept finding additional things i wanted.
if you need something call mike, i bet he has it. he is an older gentleman so i doubt he is on forums but i asked him if i could share my experience and he was all for it and welcomes any and all calls about parts needed. he has a generic ad on dayton craigslist but no pictures and not much detail, but he has what you need just call. i wish i met him 6 months ago.
mike's number is 937-667-4859 and he is located just north of dayton ohio. i drove up today and spent a few hours and a few hundred bucks and drove home with a car full of parts. was a great time, thanks mike.
here are the parts i purchased today from mike, headliner board, gt seats, shifter surround and plate, mirror, taillight bolts and caps a large shed full of parts, top to bottom in pic is mike with a lot of parts out back need coolant tubes another area full of parts his basement full of interior parts
This is really cool...in a bizarre, creepy sort of way. To spend this much of one's life and energy to collect these parts is amazing. There is really little or no financial return on hoarding used 1980's GM car parts. yet someone took thousand of hours out of his life to strip and store these parts. I am probably going to visit this guy just for kicks, and maybe waste some money on stuff I probably don't need
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is alive and well in the Rust Belt!!
I've seen Fiero Mike's place plenty of times when I used to live up in New Carlisle (aka "Nuke").. he lives over off of 202 in Huber Heights right next to the graveyard just North of I70 .I'd always see him out in the driveway wrenching on one of the many fieros he had lined up out there.
I stopped by once with my Fiero but nobody was home.. this is back in 2007 when I needed a new rust free chassis.
I always wanted to see what he had, its a lot more than I ever imagined.
been a while for this post, just wanted to know if anyone bought any thing from him if so was it in good shape and how was he for price? o and did he ship or was it pick up?i Thought i was getting new rims but fell apart back to looking.
MIke is a great guy to talk to and would love to have people stop by. He just had knee surgery but he has help when looking for parts. He does ship parts. Said he just sent a transmission to California. Wish I was closer he is a kick to talk to and very helpful.
I sent him a message through craigslist and he answered right away. He prefers phone calls but his email is fieroamerica@woh.rr.com

Though I can't be of much help directly as I own an '87 GT and '88 GT, both of which have 3800 in them, I can make a referral:
The old timer out in Huber Heights that has the Fiero graveyard. He and his son are adepts in the subject of Fieros (in their stock forum). His name is Mike and his number is 937-667-4859
Just to let everyone know that's looking for parts I was at his place this past summer and Mike is still buried to his head in parts.
Holy cow. I'm definitely going to his place when I go home for Halloween.
Just curious, can someone tell me what a set of coolant pipes would go for?
Actually, since I'm not familiar what going rates are for used parts, would it be possible for someone to message me and I could run parts by them and you could provide me reasonable prices? I'd hate to go there and just low ball him unintentionally, but then again I don't want to lose a bunch of money. Would definitely like to get my money's worth.
