Pics below. 517-484-0852 Dan & Dora. Final sale must be approved by Dora since it is her car. LONG VERSION: This Fiero was originally purchased by a GM employee who sold it to the second owner a year later, we purchased it from her in August of 1988. We drove it for one year before deciding to not drive it in the winter any longer. In 1990 I bought and installed a black fastback clip. In 1991, Bell-Tech lowering spindles, rear lowering springs, front and rear Bilstein shocks, polyurethane bushings, and a FOCOA rear stabilizer bar, were installed. Also, 16 inch 3-piece alloy wheels, along with 225 Michelin Sport XGT tires. The wheels were recalled a short time later, I balked, and the Japanese company flew a new replacement set in with 8mm perimeters bolts in place of the stock 7mm.The original suppliers of t-tops, Cars and Concepts, installed the t-top in 1992 or 93 since the factory was located less than an hour away I drove it down and factory techs installed the t-top. I tried to paint it with the color coat/clear coat paint system but had so many problems I ended up painting it with h black lacquer around 94. Not the best choice due to its brittleness but it still looks decent enough for a wash and shine car show. However, to be show worthy it would need a new paint job. The seats are in excellent shape due to always having seat covers on them, the leather on the steering wheel is also in very good shape. There is one small tear in the t-top seal due to improper latch closure. The car has never been involved in an accident, however the front fascia was replaced around 91 because someone had backed into it and tore it when we lived in an apartment complex. Otherwise the car has been garaged kept since 1992 (and the previous owner did carport it). Mechanically it’s stock, the electronic torque converter was replaced in the late 90s, new battery tray installed, new O-ring distributor replaced, etc, and I’m currently trying to fix the right headlight motor (goes up, won’t go down). It’s amazing how many things can go wrong with a car that just sits. Overall this is still a sharp looking car and still turns heads when we take it out for a short ride. The main reason we are selling it is because it just sits in the garage, and we are trying to simplify our lives. Because I’m a dummy 17 pictures will be posted shortly by FieroBrian, thanks bud, or I can send via e-mail if wanted. Thanks for your time. Dan & Dora

I am speechless. That is a goregous car ! Good luck with the sale choptop.
Talk to Falcon Fiero, he is looking for a good car, preferably an 88 but this car looks a lot like the one he sold. He would have to at least take a second glance at this stunner !
Hey guys i talk to chop top a lot since i just purchased his choptop from him and i believe he told me just this past weekend that he has a sale pending on this car.

Just a short update since I’m still getting inquiry’s regarding this car. We still have it but my wife keeps on waffling on selling it. So…until she is sure she wants to sell the car it is off the market. I believe she may want to sell it sometime in the future, when she does I’ll post it. We apologize to anyone who’s inquired. Thank you. Dan & Dora
Thanks for the update. I have not called you back because it sounded like you may have already had a buyer. Thanks for letting us know. I also left you a message in the Chop Top #4 thread.
