http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/pts/924257993.html Seems like an insane price for a clean candidate for engine swap?? |

Some other brother just mentioned how he picked up a running Fiero for $65, so that seems reasonable...

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

Its sad to see that Fiero passed around like a cheap hooker. The car originally belonged to a forum and club member Mizer. He turned the car into a show car. The wheels use to be Timmers, which were sold to Ryan, which were traded to Mizer. A used motor was installed, and only lasted a couple years before it developed a knocking noise. Mizer had some personal issues and was not able to repair, under a forced sale, he sold the car to a younger kid, that decided he would just drive it. Mizer had said not to drive the car, but the kid did not listen and from what I understand, blew the engine, and drove the car with the rear calipers have seized up. Now the car is being sold with a blown motor and possible brake problems. Only drawback to the car is that it is an Auto. The last time I saw the car, the paint was a 9/10 and the interior was a 9/10 was one of the nicest looking cars. However I have not seen the car in 2 years so I can't quote on the current condition. I know the pics in the add are at least 3 years old. |

Yup someone got smart and scooped it, hopefully it moved on to a better place and maybe we may see the new owner pop up here, who knows! I woulda payed that if I didn't have to do a manual conversion to get it usable... too bad I'll only settle for a manual 85 GT if I ever ditch my 86 SE donor car. |

I wonder if Mizer snatched it back up. I know he said for $600 he was thinking about buying it back.
