I can't believe I'm actually going to put this up for sale. I've had this 88 Fiero for the last 9-10 years, and it has undergone many mods. I bought it 100% stock with 83K on it, but unfortunately haven't driven it more than a few hundred miles these last couple years.
It currently has a ~30k mile 3400sfi engine from a 2001 GrandAm GT that has been turbocharged and intercooled via Turbonetics 60-trim T3-T04E. Has a 4spd manual trans from a 70k mile 85GT and Spec Stg2 clutch in it. Decent tune with a Haltech stand-alone, and the included laptop. Running 6psi, can dyno tune for 10psi.
Body is in decent shape, but has some paint cracks around the custom vents and things that were molded in. Flush mount headlights, IMSA rear spoiler and custom hood/trunk vents. Custom sideskirts and trimmed rear bumper. Mostly gutted interior with fiberglass race seats, red accent panels, and Grant Race Wheel. Autometer Boost, A/F (driven by Innovate WB), and Buick Grand National Knock Gauges.
-West Coast Fiero 400lb F-R Coilover Kit -Koni Red adjustables F-R -Full Poly Bushings -FieroAddiction 12" Corvette Brake Kit F-R -MBMotorsports Weapon 17-18" staggered wheels -Nitto 555 Tires. Rears only 40% left, fronts like new. -Custom Bracing in rear engine bay, x-frame, etc -Custom SS Exhaust with single chamber muffler, dual outlet -Wrinkle Red Intercooler pipes, valve covers, and intake manifold -Porsche 50mm External Wastegate -Rodney Dickman 1" lowering balljoints
I'm sure there is more that I'm forgetting, as it's been a project for the last 4-5 years (always had another project I felt was more important, GSX, GVR4 etc). It is a blast to drive, stiff, point and shoot or slide any corners you want. It was my first car, and would love to keep it, but with having a house now, priorities change. I'm loosing a ton of money on this, but I think the price is VERY fair, and I want to sell quickly before I want to keep it. If you have any questions, feel free to email, jwarren269@yahoo.com or leave a reply here.

That is a sweet deal and you will likely get more money for it if you post it externally on something like craigslist or kijiji.
88GT's here in Canada have recently sold for 6-6.5K while on Pennocks you would be lucky to get 3-4 for them.
Its just the demographic you are selling to and your timing, this is the second 88 I would have bought in a heartbeat on here if I didn’t have a baby on the way. But priorities change and I'm selling most of my fleet and only keeping 1 of my 4 restorable/ drivable Fiero's, my 88 t-top project.
Hope I don’t get flamed but Pennocks is the place to sell fiero parts but not Fiero's, us Fiero owner's can be cheap especially when it comes to the cars we love.

Carver, I picked these wheels up about 3 years ago. I haven't been real active on here, hence never seeing any pics. I've mainly been lurking around my Galant VR4 and Honda/Kawi forums. I kinda wished I would have stayed with 17s in the back after buying my first set of 255-35-18 tires... LOL
Sorry about being long with the other pictures... I'm currently putting a new heater/central A/C system in my house. The cold is rapidly approaching, so it's taking first priority, haha.
You can't be driving around in a cool car with the windows up. My AC works perfect and the only time it use is when it rains and a couple of times a months just to keep everything working

I rained every day for like a month here and was still hot as hell. I get you though.

I forgot to mention, so I'm adding to the description, but the updated metal Felpro lower intake manifold gaskets were installed, along with a 3500 upper plenum, with a custom inlet and Northstar throttle body.

WOW. this is an awesome car. If i didn't just spend my life savings at Archies, I may have got this. Good luck, and someone is going to get a great car.

Just going to add because I've gotten a lot of questions regarding a few things. This probably isn't the car for you if you want to drive it year round, and have it be your only car. It was built to perform and put a smile on my face everytime I drive it.
It does both very well. I'll be very unhappy to see this car go, but I would like it to go to a driving enthusiast like me. It's not a perfect show car, it has a few quirks that can be addressed. Nothing major, just things I never got around to. It's a car that could use a little TLC, but would cost triple to build again from the ground up. Thanks to everyone so far!
Rob, I'll have to get the exact measurements, but it's just a stock one cut down a bit. Bolted to the one hinge bolt, and a little bracket on the strut tower. Works great, (even holds the IMSA molded decklid !) and free if you have parts like I do!
Sorry about the trunk, I never used it, and I love the room you have to work on the car with it gone...

I love the look of this car. Hope the sale works out! My turbo coup is very similar so I am definitely not in the market for another! Just out of curiosity how hard is it to get one of those spoilers? It looks amazing on the coup and might just be what my car needs!

It sounds weird, but if I bought this car, it would actually make me keep my 3800-turbo.
This is damn-near the EXACT type of car I would like to build if I had another Fiero. It even has the 4-speed! With a few changes, this could be my perfect track car. Unfortunately you live too far away. Would there be any chance you could get the car to my brother-in-law near Somerset PA?

Somerset is 4hours from me. I could probably get ahold of a trailer, because it'd be a long, long ride in the Fiero. We might be able to work something out. Shoot me an email. jwarren269@yahoo.com
