I tried selling this once over the winter, but the buyer couldn't come up with the funds so I'm advertising it again.

Fino that I built over the period of three years with lots of extras:

-LM1 V8 engine with about 100 miles on it, installed with a V8 Archie kit.
-V8 Archie interior kit that changes the door pannels, dash, and center console.
-Lots of electrics including doors, locks, CD, digital dash, remote keyless entry & an alarm if you want to use it.
-Mr. Mikes leather seats.
-New shocks & struts, new brake rotors & pads.
-New tires and alumnium wheels.

There is a lot more little stuff than what is mentioned here. The car is currently bright green with black highlights, but I would be willing to paint it whatever color the new owner wanted for an extra $500. The interior is almost all black, so pretty much any exterior color would look great.

This car is worth well over $20,000 but I'm willing to let it go for less than what I have into it. The first $16,000 takes it, plus another $500 for a new paint job if you don't like the current color. PM me if you want more info or would like some pictures sent to you.

Thanks, Cory

Pics...???

What year is it?
Auto or stick shift? (Isuzu or Getrag?)

Options? AC? Power windows/locks, etc?

A quick use of the "search" and I came across with this information. I'm not interested but hopefully this helps potential buyers for Cory.

Rear hatch glass displays the new GM LM1 350 V8 crate motor. Edelbrock 600 carb, 4 core radiator, high performance starter, remote oil filter system. Motor barely broken in, 4spd Fiero tranny has a new racing clutch.

Is anyone else interested? Make me an offer.

Anyone want to make me an offer? Offer plus new paint color? I understand that not everyone likes that green, but I'll paint it whatever color you want.

What kind of legroom/headroom does that beauty have? I am looking for a ride like this one? Any problems at all? I am very interested.

Saxman, PM sent.
It has all of the standard leg and head room of a regular Fiero, which is already good. Nothing is wrong, it's ready to go. Make me an offer.

PM sent.

Ok, I'm a desperate man. $12,000 is the lowest I can go, OR $10,000 and a good running Fiero in trade. I need money fast for the house that I'm buying.

If i remember ill ask my dad, he was looking at kit cars earlier this week, and even bid on the manta montage on ebay, he said if it had a v8 stick shift he would have gave 10k for it, but it was 2.8L carbed auto, so he only bid 5500

he also has a 1985GT 4 speed with rebuilt 2.8L and alot of new suspension parts, that he'd probably trade off.

Thanks, Cory. I can't wait to get this car on the streets around DC!

We need to talk - please call or email me, Cory-

Cory - please call. We need to talk about this "nothing is wrong" thing. There are too many things you "forgot" to mention. Please call or email so we can correct this problem.

Still haven't heard from you. Thanks for the all the work on this "ready to go" car. I had to replace the rear bearings, rotted rear-view mirrors, trans mounts, re-connected the motor mount, have the wheels aligned (steering wheel was pointed to the right and pulled badly), repair the door locks, change out the milky brake fluid (brakes pulled badly to the left), fixe the wipers and put in wheel spacers so the rear wheel would quit rubbing against the water pump belt. I still need to fix the rear tail lights, tachometer, heater blower, headliner, front bearing cover (falling off), axle seals, adjust the door panels/deck-lid and hood so the rest of the paint won't scrape off and figure out what to do about the paint chip that was scotch-taped back onto the hood. The paint scraped off of the deck-lid, doors and hood will require a new paint-job. I finally figured out why the guage showed the engine heating up to 300 degrees, too, since it wasn't safe to drive that way. The number of sanded/painted rust holes in the engine compartment were unexpected. The loud rattling noises coming from the front end when going over bumps must be standard for a "nothing is wrong" Fiero, too.

How about the parts and instructions you promised to send?

Ouch, did you end up buying this car?

Yup - paid $10k and asked for just a little of that back (I think $1500) to cover all I had to do to get it to where he "described it." The paint is the biggest disappointment. That will really cost me.

He also got pretty insulting in his initial emails when I asked for the $. I have saved them all.

Regardless, I hope everyone is aware. A deal this bad really ruins the fun of buying a car...

Bump to keep this one out of the archives until he makes this sale right...

The phrase "When Hell Freezes Over" comes to mind. Wow, 10 grand! Sorry it went so poorly. I think we should all turn towards Madison WI and give him all our dirtiest thoughts. I've looked at Archie's Finos on his site, it's my favorite kit car for the Fiero. The interior looks nice, BTW, I'm kinda envious of that (tho not the exterior paint at all.)
