Went to a yard in Ashley Michigan today. As I got there I saw that they were working on taking the wheels off what was left of a car that I guessed to be a Fiero. I say I guessed it to be one because there wasn't much left. The roof clip was still there but badly crusched down. That was the only body panle left on the car. The dash was there (sort of) but nothing else on the inside except the computer. They had just remove the engine (by cuting the half safts and yanking it up and out) The front end was missing up to the spare tire mount. It was such a sad sight. I didn't have my camera with me but pictures wopuld have only made you cry. I felt so bad about the poor thing that I just had to salvage something from it. I took the computer (the guy claimed that the engine ran and that is why they saved it), the fuel fill cover and the 11 cents I found in the remains of the console.

Afterwards as I sat in my car looking at the fill cover I realized what great shape it was in. The paint was original and perfect. It even had the recall sticker on it. I began to wonder how a car that, from this one piece atleast, look very well taken care of ended up in like it did.

Just to help settle my wonderment, could someone run a carfax for me? I know it's kind of a waste as the car is no more, but I would like to know more about it anyway. The VIN is 1G2PE11R9HP237225. I know from it that the car was an 87 coupe and was dark red metaflake (or whatever they called it).

Just call me sentimental (sp?)...

Plused you for indulging an old man with the carfax.

Interesting bits of history. Surprised to see just how misleading carfax can be. Where has this car been since May of 99. Hey Nick (naskie18), your from Clarkston. Know anyhing about this car? Maybe it was just a well cared for parts car. Guess I'll never know.
