NMNA.

I should have already gone and bought this one, but the timing isn't going to work out, so I'll post it here for you dorks.

"1984 Fiero 4 speed manual. Clean title.

Converted to autocross / roadrace car.

Street legal headlights, taillights, turn signals, etc.

Chevy 350 5.7L Tuned Port Injection engine installed using a V8 Archie delux kit (http://www.v8archie.us/deluxe-kit.html). Upgraded suspension, sway bars, shocks, springs, etc. New 3-core radiator.

Interior replaced with aluminum panels. Gauges for race-use (tach, temperatures, pressures, etc. No speedometer currently installed). Battery relocated to front "trunk" compartment to help with weight distribution. All brake lines new.

Wheel spacers/adapters installed to use chevy 5-lug bolt pattern, and to space out wheels for handling performance.

Why it's listed so cheap: has a blown head gasket. Was leaking coolant into cylinder. I did a quick repair with a thicker headgasket and it didn't hold. Have a cylinder full of coolant now. Should have decked the head, or at least cleaned it better when I did it.

If you're interested, I've also got another very low mile complete 5.7L TBI crate engine that would make a good long-block if you don't want to bother with rebuilding this one. Add $500 for that engine.

It also probably needs exhaust. I've run it open-header at the track, but you may not want to do that: your call.

I've priced it super-cheap because I don't want to haggle. Bring $1600 and a trailer and it's yours.

Oh, I also found another V8 installation kit, for a fiero with an automatic transmission. I'll throw that in too.

I'm not interested in trades, or in help selling."

Wish it had pictures... but probably good that it doesn't, I don't really need to buy another V8 Fiero (though at least this is a more sane engine than the previous one...).

About to go look at this tonight...the seller is very cool and lives 10 minutes from me. Might be getting a Challenge-friendly deal with the replacement engine included...

If you decide to pass it on after the challenge, let me know. Id definitely be interested . Still kicking myself for not getting Jeremys.

In reply to maschinenbau :

Were you able to go look at the car yesterday?  How'd it look. 

Wish I could get in on this one with you, but as I've already stated, the timing isn't going to work out.

It was awesome, but I just can't handle another project car right now. I will gladly email the pictures and contact info to anyone else interested though. The seller is very nice and just wants to see it have another life.

So the real fact of the matter here is that my wife wants a new cat so that means I get a new project and I don't want to blow it on a non-running Fiero. This is probably my best chance at getting a motorcycle and Fall is the best time to buy.
