Most of you have seen this car. (The owner now apparently lives in Sandy Springs.)

I had thought he moved to Florida.  Nice Fiero, if not completely to my taste.

Yes, I messaged him on FB and he gave me the lowdown before he listed it .  Here is a link to more high-res photos he sent me

It really is kinda bad ass, even if it is not a notchie, and if we were not in economic turmoil or what ever economic recession/depression we are in I would have taken it for what he offered to sell it to me for which is less than what it is bid to now.  I just could not see spending lots of cash right now as the smart thing to do.........

Buy it Now price was $8200.  Latest bid is $8300.

Fiero Folk, what do you think the car is worth? 

I'm asking from a Fiero Appreciation perspective.

Looking at the hi-res pictures, one of those rust spots in the trunk is definitely a rust-thru from the frame rail.  The other may be, also.

Hard to say, because tastes are so subjective.
It's not exactly my "flavor". Kind of overdone for my tastes. (Says the guy with the monotone gray car.)
But it certainly is not your garden variety Fiero. Pretty much everything is done well, and it needs very little. (Although even a little bit of rust un-nerves me. Apparently not so much, other people.)
And with $8300 in bids, it still has almost a week to go before the end of the auction.
This is gonna be interesting to watch.

And it's not even a 5 speed.

Original Buy it Now was $8500, reserve was $8000.  $8K is what he told me he'd take for it about two weeks ago.  In an email he told me he felt it was worth $12-15K if parted out, possibly?  But it is hard to run a junk yard with only one car, Got parts for a 92 Honda? nope parts for an 88 Fiero.....

Lets see if it actually changes hands, so much stuff "sells" on ebay and then is relisted due to non-paying winning bidders, that is the true epidemic.  Lots of internet chatter when he first threw it out there a month or more ago that it might be for sale said to put it on BaT.  eBay has more registered bidders but BaT seems to never have no pay winners but with no reserve it is a gamble (although you can always bid on your own car and just pay the fees if you win it back).

Interestedly (is that a word?) following

Interesting. If you can believe the info posted about the bidders, the winner had zero feedback, and had only ever made two bids before this one.
Let's see what happens.

I'm curious if it'll be relisted do to failure to pay.
