That particular Fiero has been for sale off and on for a long time. (A year maybe?)

I suspect it has issues.

And no roof.

Even longer than that, I made this site for the builder back in 2001 or so.

John aka Dr.Fiero did a ton of work to it when it had the 425hp 383 in it. However looks like that motor was pulled and the 305 tossed in its place.

I'll see if I can dig up the pics showing the side bars installed to keep the chassis solid. It was really a feat of engineering the way it was done.
