87 GT in Monroe $2800, 3800SC??
« on: January 30, 2020, 08:38:40 pm »
The car is on Facebook Marketplace.
The description says it has a "2.8 with supercharger", but it looks like a 3800 to me.

3800SC.  Very dirty.

Not sure what's in the trunk.

That is/was Fan's car.
I've got some other pics. One and the same.

I thought MikeMac had Fan's Fiero, and that it was in better condition than that.

That is Fan's car.  Looks like he just gave up on it.

It had looked like a really nice starting point when it was at Mike's shop. Only the paint looked too worse for wear. Mike said it did have mechanical issues though. Would love to have his vent window scoops with actual windows though.

I don't recall it looking that badly, 14 months ago.

The car had wiring or ECM problems.  The engine is a 2002 Grand Prix.  I hope it doesn't get parted out.

The paint was shot last I saw it and another year in the sun hasn't helped. Unfortunately the car isn't worth $2800, at least in my opinion. I would love to have the motor!

 Fierofool has spoken with the party that has possession of the car and I'll let him post up the story of what happened.

I'm pretty sure he had most of the original back story, up until it got to Northlake.

It would seem easier to fix what's there, than to start over.

The nose and side scoops would be good to have.  It's getting hard to get those items.

The car was at a house in Loganville.  Apparently that's where it went when it left Northlake.  By the description of the location provided by the current seller, it was at Lee Arnette's house again.  I can't confirm, but that's what it sounded like.

The car, along with 3 or 4 others were impounded from the property.  The current seller bought it from the impound yard.  I asked him not to part it out or junk it and let him know I would try to contact the owner.  I've left a voice mail for Fan, and sent an email also.  Since Fan traveled to China a lot, he may be over there and prohibited from leaving.  Hope he still has the same email address and checks it regularly.

Anyway, the seller said he would be willing to sell it back to Fan for what he paid for impound fees.

Poor Fan can't win for losing.  Taking it back to Lee's house does not seem to have helped the Fiero.  Certainly there are people around who can fix that Fiero.

If your Fiero happens to be at someone else's house, your Fiero can be impounded and sold?

I'm guessing it was impounded by the Code Enforcement authorities. He was probably warned he had too many cars and didn't take care of it so they did.

Fierofool, I was under the impression that it is the impound company selling it. This is what he sent me on facebook messenger:

"The total fees on the car are 3500, we were just selling it for the 2800 I have it listed at and taking the loss."

If it is the impound lot selling it then fees are somewhat negotiable. What the operator actually came out of pocket for are the original tow and the cost of the paperwork to get clear title. Storage fees aren't really a cost unless he had to pay someone to store it for him. He could easily waive the storage fees if he wanted too.

We all know that the car needs much more than just a starter to get it running. A new starter will turn the engine over but I bet it doesn't start!

Unless I'm way off on the value I don't see anyone paying a lot of money for the car. Someone that doesn't have the back story we do might buy it thinking a starter and belt will get it running.
