Edit: Now on ebay, starting bid $1000: http://www.ebay.com/itm/201606231683?

I would PREFER to sell to a forum member, so please give me a reason to end the listing early!

1987 Northstar Fiero GT
300HP / 295lb ft “VIN 9” engine
11.25" vented rotors
custom built paddle-shift transmission controller with digital gear display
Fibersmith Ferrari style tail lights
Front mount battery conversion
17” Mile Miglia 5 spoke rims
255/45/R17 Rear
215/35/R16 Front
Sunroof

~100k miles on chassis
60k miles on drivetrain

This was originally a manual 2.8L 1987 GT that was converted into a “semi-automatic” paddle-shifted Northstar GT. Will include two modified GSXR 1000 throttle bodies, custom laser cut, custom formed and welded *stainless* intake manifold, rubber TB couplers, GM IAC and air distribution block, stainless steel fuel rail, injectors, and all misc items I have for converting this engine to independent throttle bodies. (Not a weekend job, but probably worth 30hp and some amazing sound!) Also original wing and ground effects (not currently installed). Engine subframe modified/strengthened with square steel tubing and coated for rust protection. Poly bushings all around. New steering rack. New 24# injectors. Subframe notched for the original Cadillac AC compressor. New all metal radiator (made for SBC conversion). New battery with fiberglass front mount battery box. Large 00 ga. Welding cable inside protected electrical conduit to rear battery connections. Paint is getting clear coat haze, so it is in need of a paint job. Dyno tuned 1227730 ECU running stock Northstar DIS ignition… 1000s of hours of tuning and work over several years. I am so protective that I have never let another person drive her – she is my baby! Meticulously maintained, has mostly sat the last year and because of lack of time and motivation I want to clear some space in the driveway. It also will help to pay off some student loan debt. Runs great, has a stuck rear caliper that I will try to fix before selling. Will upload more pics as I take them! Ran out of daylight today...

0-60 5.5 seconds (apprx)

¼ mile 13.xx seconds

Entertaining all offers may even consider up trades (newer luxury sedans… think Genesis)…. Shall I start the bidding at $1000?

Thanks Bob - I love the Fiero community wholeheartedly, but the time has come to call it quits... at least for now. I'm not "done" with fieros, but with a wife and kids in the future it's time to clear some space in the driveway and get rid of some debt!

And FYI, I am definitely willing to ship....

I see what's going on here. After Ryan sells the Fiero, he's going to get another Northstar and stick it in the minivan that he has his eye on. It's all clear now. Just kidding pal. Good luck with the sale.

Dang Ryan - if your going to give up the N*, at least make sure your G-Wagon ( not the brick from the EU Style ) has this on it:

Yes I will grab some tomorrow morning. Every time I want to take more pictures, it starts pouring outside.... Gotta love Florida weather.

By the way, I have listed this on ebay. I would PREFER to sell it to a forum member, but if it's within 2-3 days of the end of the auction, I'm just going to let it roll. I wasn't kidding about the $1000 start price either.

*Bump*

and throwing these babies in:





...I imagine they are probably worth $1000+ in and of themselves.
