Can't wait for that saga to unfold...


In the meantime, when I was looking through ON the other day I came across a bunch of Fieros that seemed...uhm, interesting.  Not sure why they caught my eye, you be the judge.
This one looks clean, and IIRC, they never came with the S/C 3.8, so this thing oughta fly.
87 Fiero GT 3800 supercharged.
$10,500.00

Hmmm...a Ferarieo...Fierrari...???
1988 Fiero GT About 15,700 original km, 2.8L stock Fiero engine, asking $25g ( :o :o :o)
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/city-of-toronto/trade-for-hot-rod-rare-sharp-ferrari-f40-replica/1389704214?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true


If it were about $6000 it'd be pretty cool being that 16 yr old who pulls up to school in it...somewhere in the country.  City kid would get laughed off the parking lot, no?

Oh look, another!
1985 Pontiac Fiero Kit Car
$7,500.00
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/barrie/1985-pontiac-feiro-kit-car/1387753171?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true


You guys have so many choices out there in the Far East...or are you the Mid East? COTU for sure. It's a Zorba, whatever that is.
Fiero Kit Car
$12,900.00
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/chatham-kent/fiero-kit-car/1379374701?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true


And lastly, I think these might be my favorites. How could they not be?  GM never made these did they?
1987 Fiero Convertible 3800 SC $13,500
The top looks like crap up, the wood grain is disgusting...but top down, from the outside...I kinda like it. 
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/city-of-toronto/1987-fiero-convertible-3800sc/1363150317?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true


And for $5500 less, you can have this one!
1984 Fiero V8, $8000
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/leamington/v8-fiero/1386430588?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true


Why post the shi##y pictures though, you're trying to sell your car, right? Too hard to roll it outside? Use the flash? Should go like shnell though, and sound good doing it.

Calling rrocket....

It appears that it's been accidented possibly with air bag deployment?

How can I tell?  The Pebble Beach has special wood...Espresso.

Now look at the wood on the passenger dash.  That's not Espresso.  It doesn't match the rest of the car.  It would be VERY hard to find an Espresso wood panel....so they cheaped out and replaced it with regular.  IMO of course.

What do you think??

Good catch! By the way, that Espresso wood looks very nice.

It's too bad those things were RWD only.

Kind of hilarious that they just used a Grand Caravan tailgate.

The tailgate actually works pretty decently style wise. Certainly better than those big, blob like tail lights.

Which are also from a Caravan, I think.

One change from the Caravan, though, is the amber turn signal.

That's pretty darn cheap for an electric car.  I'd buy it, it would (should?) get me to work, and so long as they don't notice me plugging in all year long, it'd be free driving back home.  ;D
What! You want to charge me $1/day!  :o Who da fack you think you are!  >:( 
Still be worth it, and unlike most every other hybrid/electric, this one would actually pay for itself. 

Wonder if it heats well in winter...or ends up 15 km shy of work.  :P

That is an awesome price. The Beetle looks in good shape too. I strongly suspect there is no heat in that one.

Just the kit costs $3,750

Didn't the Rover 90 of that era have a weird configuration.  My ancient memory says   OHV inlet and side valve exhaust or something like that.  A long dead uncle of mine used to have a new Rover 90 every other year passed the cast offs over to the people who worked on his farm ( not for free but at a good price).
