Oooo…I like that Spirit! My brother in law had one very similar in red with a manual transmission years back. He blew the engine and sold it.

Anyone want to guess what the maintenance on these are like?

Engine and transmission should be OK except major service interval items, but if anything electronic goes...that thing is a write off.

This guy documented everything he spent. It's a W12, but IIRC his costs were not engine related

It's an entertaining listen

This might work from my phone. Always wanted one of these specifically. The 2 door cheapy model not the fastback.

Too bad I still have a year on my lease elsewise.....
The trans not having reverse gear just means an A500/A518 swapout.

I figured these would be million dollar cars at some point..

ChaosphereIX · « **Reply #7093 on:** July 03, 2021, 10:16:28 am »

I agree with the price kinda, it is one of the most special vehicles to be made in it's era. Certainly the most special car Lexus has ever, and probably will ever, make.

A Fiero with a North Star V8….turbocharged! I can only imagine how crazy that car is. The north star itself is 300hp.

*** edit: looking at the engine it’s NOT a northstar as the seller states, looks to be a 4.5/4.9 Cadillac V8**

The pushrod Caddy motor is lighter and probably more reliable. I think they are an easier swap. Not sure if its the wing but almost looks like the roof has been lowered.

A friend had a Fiero with a Northstar, then he added a 150 shot of nitrous...you can guess what happened.

That's already really good money for that particular car IMO....she looks shiny but she's rough. Rockers are wavy, missing the finishing strips and painted gloss instead of the pebble black, someone has rigged the grill into place with some homebrew fastener system, frame looks OK for a TR6 but questionable in a few places, engine bay is just full of ugly overspray. If I can spot that in 1 minute flipping through photos there's a lot more wrong with that car...Goes to show that the market on these is not slowing down...
