What is the engine in the red Fiero?

Is Budgetman's Fiero a 3800SC?

I think the red (85 GT) is a stock 2.8. That would make the engines from front to back, 3.4, 3800NA, 2.8, 3800SC.

The red one is an 85 GT. The yellow one is probably 86 or 87. I zoomed in on the back wheel in another picture, and it doesn't have have 88 brakes.

Does your white Fiero have a solid roof?

All 4 V6 years are represented.  85, 86, 87, and 88.

Yes, so I currently have one solid roof car, one sun roof car, and one t-top car.

The t-top roof, for it's uniqueness and coolness factor. Number 2 would be the solid roof, because sun roof seem to be so common that the solid roof seems more unique.
A t-top car with perfect original seals and a 3800 engine would be ideal.

My head prefers the solid roof, but I think the sunroof looks better.  Unfortunatrly, sunroofs tend to leak.

My coupe has a solid roof. It's actually kind of grown on me. None of the finicky adjustments, gaskets, and delam around the edges that I've seen on a number of sunroof cars. Simplicity has its benefits.

But yeah... I had a T-top car, many years ago. I get the allure, but I found it a pain to have to stop, whenever a "change" needed to be made. You can't just "pop the latch" like you can with a sunroof car. I ended up trading the car, mostly due to the scarcity (real or perceived) of replacement/repair parts. The car that I received in trade (a black Formula) became my gray fastback.

Here they are...

Some years ago, I almost bought a black notchie.  I made arrangements with the seller, that I'd stop by on a particular day, at a set time.  I called, then drove 4+ hours to get there.  The guy sold the car before I called, so the drive was for nothing.  I did get to see the car, though.  We went to eat, and the car was stopped nearby, dead.  The buyer was really mad.  I gave him a ride back to the seller.  Apparently, the car had been misrepresented.
