Fierofool will post a couple of pics for me. It has 16" Toyota wheels that have no curb rash or corrosion that I can see. The tires are dry rotted but hold air and the car is rollable to put on a trailer or dolly. if someone just wants the wheels they can bring 3 wheels and tires that will fit. I have the spare that came with the car.
The engine is a 2.8 bored to 3.1 with 3.1 heads, roller cam, headers and other goodies. I believe the tranny is Isuzu as the shift cables come over the engine.
The interior is in bad shape.
So if someone want parts of it or all of it, come and get it. I live in Tamassee SC a couple of hours out of Atlanta on Hwy 11, 1/2 hour off of I 85.

The paint on the body was about 1/8" thick and someone did it poorly so it is all peeling off.
I am sending a couple of pictures to Charlie to post.

Does the engine have iron heads (like the Fiero)? Or the later aluminum heads?

If I recall correctly, this is the car that came from Auburn. I remember about getting hit by the concrete truck right after the owner had it painted. Warren Carlsrud was the owner.
Charlie, I was thinking that you might be able to use that 3.1, if it had the iron heads.
Edit - The pics weren't up, before. I remember that car.
That looks like an iron head engine.

My magnet says they are iron heads.
Fierofool;
You are correct on the previous owner, as I still have the title in his name. I never registered the car.
The car ran about a year ago so I would guess the fuel pump and tank are OK.

Did someone put a fastback GT body on it? 4 speed or 5 speed? Any power accessories? Are you sure the clutch is bad and not the hydraulics?
I've seen the car when it was in one piece. It's an 85 GT that was converted to a fastback.
Based upon the shifter cables, it appears to be an Isuzu trans, as Harry said.

Someone did put a GT rear body on it. The tranny is a 5 speed. I got on it at a stop and it made a loud noise like metal breaking and stopped moving. The pedal did not feel right and it would not move so I towed it home and gave up on it.
It has power windows, mirrors and cruise but I sold all the switches.

There are many things I would want off it if I had anywhere to store them. Currently getting ready for a move so I am not able to.
If you want to bring it here to store it that would be OK. While I don't really need anything off of it, I would give you $100 for the wheels if you don't want them, & I may be interested in buying the engine if you don't want that.

Scott and I are going to go up and get it.
Good. Sounds like there were too many parts to just allow it to be scrapped.
Post by: HarryT on December 19, 2019, 02:29:53 am
It may not be worth the effort to take the car. I tried jumping it today to make sure it wasn't frozen but had no success. The solonoid on the starter clicked but the starter did not engage or even try to. I cannot go under it to jump directly to the starter and I can't see how to turn the motor manually. I don't think it is frozen but who knows. I pulled the dipstick and there is no sign of water in the crankcase. The car itself is disgusting looking, covered in mildew and moss.
Its up to you whether you want to take it. If you still want it would you be bringing a trailer or a dolly?

Out of curiosity, what happens if you just pull it on, using a winch?
Any stress would be applied to the trans or engine.
If the trans is locked up, it's likely already shot. Not an issue.
If the engine is locked up, it still probably won't hurt the trans.
If the engine is not locked up, and it's just a starter issue, it will turn. Or not. Still probably won't hurt anything.

Of course, using these on a slanted, uneven surface could be very dangerous.
