Possibly looking for a really cheap fiero
« on: January 19, 2020, 07:18:49 pm »
I am having a crazy idea and wondering if anyone is sitting on a truly junker but functional fiero? I am feeling some inspiration for a next project after the formula fastback is done.

So what is everyone sitting on?

Dunno about anyone else, but I sit on my butt.   :D

So, you want a Fiero that drives, but has a rusty frame?  I keep wondering about Kermit, which I heard was a junker, but thought was a rolling chassis.

Looking for a roller for a different type of build. Body and interior condition isn't important as long as it can drive and be swapped easy enough.

The motor being toast isn't so much an issue as long as the frame is good. Manual trans and notch back are preferable.

Not often a car with a motor that is toast will drive far.

What is cheap?  $1,000?

Cheap is dependent on what all is there really.

There's this one: https://augusta.craigslist.org/cto/d/north-augusta-1986-pontiac-fiero/7059463010.html

I've spoken with the guy and explained the lack of non-running Fiero value.  Especially a 4 cylinder. You can probably get it in the $200-$500 range.  He just wants the car to live.


From the ad:
I will consider any reasonable cash offer or trade. If you have ever thought about a fun sports car project, this is it. I am motivated to move it so don't be shy about making an offer. Also you never know what I might trade for.

This is a neat project car. It is in reasonably good condition but has been sitting for a few years. It started when I got it but I have not tried it for about 3 years. I know the hydraulic clutch control needs replacing. There is no battery in it.

I planned to restore it but another project vehicle has taken priority.

Thanks for the lead, this looks to be exactly what I was hoping for.

And I have a later model notchie decklid with a luggage rack and the hump to accommodate a V6 or other engine and I'd be willing to part with it.

Good.  Let him know where you heard about it. 

He has a trailer and may be willing to meet part way.
