Looking for a Fiero. Running would be nice. Who cares about body condition.
Also for a vw Bug. body mostly... or rolling shell. I need no motor/ trans/ drive line
Cheap? Free?
Trying to be adventurous here on a shoestring budget. I got an itch and trying to make an idea happen.
Anyone?
also if the bug had a title that would be ideal

i want to build a rail buggy on a vw chassis. and i can see where you are going with this.
if we find a good runner with a good body cheap wanna split? you get the body i get the rolling pan with drivetrain? or do you want the pan too
My neighbor has an early Fiero SE V6/Auto that's absolutely thrashed (but low miles). I don't think it's worth pushing into the river, but...

In reply to patgizz:
I've got a VW chassis I'll give you for free. It's a little shorter than normal...
So i guess my plan is a bit transparent....
Seemed like the idea was genius

rear engine body+rear engine driveline.... yeah. Then again, nearly everything here is possible, and expected.

That certainly doesn't mean you shouldn't do it.

I have a Bug, a Fiero, a twisted mind, and a good welder in my shop and I'm pretty sure I still couldn't make that combo look right once joined.

Here's a rust free engineless donor for $1k.
Oh yeah, I have a FWD Caddy V8 for $200.

3800 SC driveline, perfect for bug/Fiero hybrid.

About 15 years ago I saw a bug at a car show that had a Caddy 500 installed mid-ship with a TH425. Seemed to me that car would be like driving a bowling ball...dense, rolls well, and hard to steer. Sounded cool though!

I've got an 85 Fiero GT with a 3.4 from a Camaro and a4-speed. It had a fire in the HVAC blower. The interior is trash but the body is fine and it still runs.
I replaced it with an 88 GT.
It's in Harris County, GA
