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.
