Title: Wrecked 85 GT for sale
Post by: wcarlsrud on November 06, 2011, 11:57:25 am: I've finally decided that I won't be able part out my fiero. I'm looking for somebody to purchase the entire vehicle.

The engine was bored out to a 3.1 liter with the 5 spd isuzu transmission. The interior is OK. The driver's seat was starting to tear.

I had rebuilt the headlight motors, new parking brake, and a new water pump when a concrete pump truck decided to run over the rear corner of it back in August '05. :o

The car was drivable after the accident but the driver's side rear a-frame is bent forward.

The damage to the nose was courtesy of the wrecker yard before I could get the car back from them.

As usual the engine was running when parked.

I would recommend that if anybody is interested to come out and inspect the car before making an offer.

I am in Auburn GA

Title: Re: Wrecked 85 GT for sale
Post by: wcarlsrud on November 18, 2011, 07:38:04 am: The car is still available.

I don't want to part the car out. I want to sell the entire car.
Title: Re: Wrecked 85 GT for sale
Post by: Donster on November 18, 2011, 07:54:22 am: If I only had some room for it. Could use quite a bit of parts from that car.

BTW: It says 85 GT, but it's a fastback??

Post by: Fierofool on November 18, 2011, 08:34:46 am: Don, the car belonged to one of our former members. He converted the 85 to a fastback, did a 3.1 install and some goodies on the engine.

Title: Re: Wrecked 85 GT for sale
Post by: Fierofool on November 18, 2011, 12:09:51 pm: Yes. Maybe 2 miles.
Title: Re: Wrecked 85 GT for sale
Post by: Duchess on November 18, 2011, 12:31:12 pm: If you can't sell the whole car (which I doubt you can) why don't you sell parts and the "leftover" sell to Junk-my-car?
We did it twice and got around $220 for each car.
Just saying ;)

Post by: wcarlsrud on December 31, 2011, 09:04:57 pm: Sorry, I can't part the car out at this time. It is sitting in my driveway.
Title: Re: Wrecked 85 GT for sale
Post by: Fierofool on December 31, 2011, 09:25:45 pm: Warren, could you tell us a little about the engine and put a price tag on the car? Might help if they knew what the engine has.
Title: Re: Wrecked 85 GT for sale
Post by: wcarlsrud on January 01, 2012, 08:41:55 pm: I didn't do the work on the engine so I don't really know what was done to it. My notes only show that it had some sort of roller cams or rockers, it was bored out to a 3.1 liter and that it has some sort of custom headers on the engine. It was a very nice, very fast revving engine. I got around 26mpg with it on a 60 mile round trip commute.

As for price I have absolutely know idea what is reasonable for the car. That is why I really recommend that anybody interested come and look at the car. I don't want to misrepresent the vehicle.

Right before it was wrecked I had just finished rebuilding the headlights with new rubber bumpers, one headlight has the brass gears. A brand new parking brake, new rear calipers and rotors, a new water pump, starter and alternator were all done within 6 months of the accident. The interior was converted to the full guage package with the better speedometer panel.

The steering wheel is aftermaket btw. I wouldn't recommend it. The seats are still the 85 type with the speakers. The passenger seat is not torn. The driver's seat was starting to tear on the entrance side. The interior is in good shape. The dash is not broken but the previous owner had painted it for some reason.

I had originally planned on keeping the car for parts for my next Fiero project. Other car projects, time and money have made me realize that my next Fiero will probably be about 5 years in the future.

Post by: Fierofool on January 01, 2012, 09:53:31 pm: What I remember of the engine is that it's a 2.8 with a 3.1 crank. It may have also been bored. I think it had some top end work on it too, like cam and lifters. I know it had headers on it. The kid that owned it lived over between Lawrenceville and Duluth and for some reason, after doing all the work on it, he didn't keep it too long. Don Hulse has some knowledge of the car. I think he may have worked on it at some time.

Post by: wcarlsrud on July 07, 2012, 03:36:44 pm: The car is going to the junk car people in the next week or so.

I'd rather that somebody buy the car for parts. :-\

Post by: HarryT on July 31, 2012, 06:50:05 pm: Charlie;
I made him an offer a couple of weeks ago and he accepted. I went to look at it when I picked Karin up at the airport and talked to him on the phone. I told him if he could get the engine spinning to prove to me it was not frozen I would come and pick it up. He has not sent me a PM to let me know yet.

He's always been slow in responding, but he eventually does.

My daughter had her ju-jitsu black belt test last weekend so I was a bit distracted. :)

I should be able to look at it this coming weekend on the 4th.
