In one of the picture it says it comes with all the options including the hi performance engine. Hmmm wonder what the regular performance engine was then?

It said Special Performance Package, RPO code WS6, I'm pretty sure that has to do with stiffer spring rates and revalued shocks.

I dont get it. People hold onto these things and think that a low miles fiero (especaly a duke) these days is worth a gold mine. i could see if it was an 88 Gt but its not.

i think a few had power steering but was never introduced to market...pretty sure. guess the 88s were never really produced with electric power steering or w/e. apparently this has it for testing?

In recent times, the custom aftermarket car/automobile roadwheel has become a status symbol. These wheels are often incorrectly referred to as "rims". The term "rim" is incorrect because the rim is only the outer portion of a wheel (where the tire is mounted )

At first, only base models were to get EHPS (Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering). I don't know why, though. Had to do with something with it wasn't working right with the V6.

Not sure, but there was actually a "Rally Computer" Option that was planned to be released in 86 models, it's in the most recent issue of "Fiero Focus", some 86 owners have found a 8-pin connector on the right side of the dash for it. It was to be mounted were the dash map pocket is. Never made it into production though. I think it was designed to show time, mileage, distance, and maybe a few other things. But it was troublesome with the slow stock ECM, it updated to slowly to be practical, and there wasn't much interest by the public for it either.

I'm quite certain he's talking the trip odometer considering the other exaggerated features.

So how does one put 500 miles on a car with no title?

Couldnt be for sure... but it looks like (judging by the pics) some of the recall items have not been done.

Guess since it wasn't really driven, then the recall updates probably were not thought to be necessary.

however it is refreshing to see an actual Original example....
