Okay, I am acquiring an 88 GT this weekend, car runs and drives, has title issues so I will be parting it out. Taillights are not for sale, but other than that everything must go including the engine and 5 speed trans. I will be taking a video of it running before I pull the engine and trans and if you are local and want to stop by, take it for a spin and check it out yourself. I would like to keep the cradle, but money talks and I really don't have the room for it anyway. I have limited time so I am going to strip it down as fast as possible and get rid of the carcass. I hate to see an 88 go to the boneyard with good 88 specific parts still on it, so figure out what you need now. I am willing to ship but of course you have to pay shipping. Larger parts are easier and cheaper to ship via greyhound bus so keep that in mind. Last GT I did this with went very well, so I will give it another try. Stay tuned and I should have it at the house by Sunday and get some pics for those interested, thanks.
My email is....Turbowedge@aol.com
Update, please read before going any further:
With all of the drama happening lately with items not being shipped and so forth, I just want everyone on the same page from the start. I have been on this forum for over ten years and have bought and sold alot of things, that being said I am a person of my word. Now, I also have a job that takes up a good 50-60 hours of my week which doesn't leave much time for anything else. If the buyer and myself come to an agreement on something, be advised that it may take a week or two at the most to remove, package and ship said item. If this is not acceptable then please pass me by. I welcome local pick-up and can meet within a reasonable distance for things as well. I do have paypal and will not ask you to send a personal one, that way we are both protected. I also don't have a chance to check Pennock's everyday, but will provide my personal email for best communication for I have alot more access to it, so it is the preferred means of choice to contact me. I will answer pms in order to make it fair to everyone and same goes for emails. Sorry for the long and drawn out speech, but it just seams necessary and I hope everyone understands, thanks.
Now to the pics, there are a couple of things that may be of interest including new seats done very well I may add, can't say that they are Mr. MIkes, because I haven't seen any of those up close, but these were done very well and look and feel like new leather although they could be pleather? Also the door panels were expensive at one time but are warpped now, unsure if you could get them straight again or not, but I know a few people would like the extra speaker space. The interior was turned to black, and the dash looks really well down with an epoxy paint from what I can tell, there is one small crack in it but other than that, great shape and corners are in tact. There is black carpet in it that looks like it was ordered black and not dyed, it is a little dirty but I think it will clean up just fine as it shows no wear at all. Car also has a wing delete rear decklid.
Parts that are no longer available: Tail lights Engine vents and mounts P/M switch Factory sub ECM and engine harness Front hubs Steering Wheel
I will keep this list updated as parts are PAID for.

It has grey interior and not to sure of condition as of yet. All pm have been answered and for those that have just posted to the topic, I will update post and questions with pics this weekend as soon as I get the car home, thanks.
You might want to run the serial # at the DMV before you strip it to make sure it wasn't stolen. Unless you already know the cars history. What is the steering wheel like?

Thanks Turbowedge....was hoping for saddle (tan) and in good shape. Already have the grey!
I am in search of both the driver and passenger side power door lock switch plates, either with or without the switches, but with all the mounting screws if they get parted out. let me know if they will be available.
As of 11:30pm 2-3-19, all pms and post here have been replied to. Also, @wftb, the title was written on by previous owners uncle as he had dementia and signed in black marker in the wrong spot and has since died, title could be obtained, but I just didn't want to go through the hassle with the dmv.
What would it take for you part with the rear cradle + whatever bits I need to get it into an 87 that you take from the 88. (ctrl arms, links, struts, etc) (not sure if I need the strut hats from the 88 to fit it to my 87. If not I would pass on them) Also I am after a passenger side dew wipe if the ones on that car are any good.
Door internals / glass? my glass is loose and scratched

@bump, they were both working when I got the car, not sure what is going on with it.....
@xzeion, it may be a little bit before I get to the cradle, would like to leave engine in it as long as I can so an interested party can hear it running, but we can work something out on a package deal for you. as far as dew wipes, haven't looked that close to them yet, but I will get back with you. windows roll up good and tight as well
Interested in front and rear bumpers, plus the egg crate cushioning behind them, the complete GT steering rack with tie rods, complete rear cradle and rear suspension (no motor) assembly. Can pick up as I am in New Port Richey, FL. May also be interested in other body parts as well. Contact me at lhubbert2@brighthouse.com rather than PM, same reasons as you posted. Thanks and have a great day.
For everyone that has contacted me, pms have been sent back to verify needs and prices. The car is in the middle of disassembly now and parts will be ready to go tomorrow. For all of you, please get back in the next day or so with me so we can set up payment and shipping. For the large items, I can shoot over to the March show in Daytona to meet and deliver instead of shipping.
I'd like to announce that I have purchased this entire 1988 GT off of 'TROWBRIDGE' (1988 GT Part Out) as of 03/01/19 and that it now resides at my workshop in New Port Richey, FL 34652, where I have begun disassambly as we speak. I also wish to announce that I have also previously aquired all of the Fiero inventory from 'STRAWS' and presently have all of those parts, etc available and up for sale as well.
I predominately stockpile parts for 88's, however I have parts for other years available as well. If you are just looking for or need any parts for your Fiero's please contact me by email at lhubbert2@brighthouse.com and I will get back to you ASAP with prices and HiRes pix of what I have in my inventory.
I'd also like to say that this is just a hobby with me to help keep our Fiero Community up and running as I also have a full time job I have to work at as well, so please be patient I will get back to everyone who emails me. Thank you and have yourselves a great day.
Update on '1988 GT Part Out'. I have put a battery in the 88GT and found that it started, runs fine and is completely drivable. I have gone over the entire drive train and everthing works as it should. Therefore I have decided that if anyone is interested in purchasing a running 2.8 motor, 5-speed Getrag Transaxle, or even a complete rear drive train dropout to please contact me with your needs as I'd prefer to sell the complete drive train as an intact unit rather than break it down into seperate units which is still an option.
For those of you who are interested in 88 Engine cradles I presently have several cradles that have been sandblasted, inspected and are ready for shipment please contact me at lhubbert2@brighthouse.com. Thank you and have yourselves a great day.
