Sad to say but yes i have to get rid of the stretched fiero that i bought from Archie. I have been putting a bunch of parts into it to go alot with it. There is no trunk rust or anything on this. I don't wanna part the thing out because i know how much time and effort was put into this and i just dont have the heart to tear it apart and send it to the scrap yard. I'm looking for someone who can finish this one and only stretched fiero. The front half is a 87 gt and the rear half it a 87gt. Two different cars put together to make this. It is all welded up solid and what not. When i got it from Archie he didnt tell me much about it but down the road i've been learning about this project. I have TONS of pics of this limo being build and i have the title and everything for it. It doesnt run or drive i have not tried to get the car started as i had no time for it i know the v6 motor is missing the disty, coil pack, battery. The coolant tubes and brake lines need to be ran all the way around. The limo has 2 sunroofs. LOOKING FOR 300FIRM NEED GONE IN 7 DAYS CITY IS ON MY BUTT ABOUT IT! IF NOT GONE IN 7 DAYS SORRY TO SAY BUT THE JUNKYARD WILL BE TAKING IT AWAY WITH MY DEMO CAR AS WELL. i put a couple hundred bucks into just going to get it and buying parts here and there for it. I know im prolly forgetting a bunch of stuff. Have any questions just ask thanks. I will post pics a little later for everyone to see.
Parts to go with the limo: driver side door skin 4 round door strippings extra headlight motors complete light gray interior plastic set 2 driver gray door panels 4 coolant tubes 2 gray back cover for interior 4 heater hoses misc tan interior mechanical mirrors pass gray door panel pass tan door panel front lip battery tray gas cap assembly door handle backing plates pass seat rails kick panel back plastic for the gauges havic shroud 2 stock radio 2 steering columns 2 84 notchie speaker seats deck lid wiring
Prolly more as i go threw and put more parts with it.

Yeah i would love to build this up to get it running and driveable but right now it is way too much i have 4 spots in my driveway and the limo takes up one and my blue 87 gt takes up another and i have a escort demo car taking up another and then the rear end of the white fiero laying around its just too much on my plate right now.

wish it was closer and I had more disposable income and I would take it off your hands. I've always wanted that car since I first heard about it and seen the pictures. If ya still have it a little later when I'm back on my feet and got bills caught up I might try to do something.
the snow pic is from when i got it from archie. the other pics is cleaning it up it has carpet and what not in it i have a couple more things im gonna throw in it thats laying around as in a dash as of right now.

Hate to say but my thoughts are to scrap that one and start off fresh.
Do the rear doors not open? They look like they're welded shut. If so that & the screwed up roof line will make me feel the same. If anyone wants a Fiero limo I'll be glad to build one for you - right. With opening rear doors so the rear passengers can get in it & with a straight roof line - although the price of the glass will be a b*tch... (sorry to the owner but that's my opinion). ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"
see that's the thing i see the potential in this project but dont have the time for it. If you made it a 4 door it wouldn't hold up strong enough when hitting bumps and holes, ect. This was first built by the pres. And the roof line is like that because of the way the fiero roofs have the curve to them. I know alot of you guys prolly think this is just "scrap" but i dont see if that way there have been so many man hour put into this project. My plans were to getting it running and driving so i could bring it to the dells run but i dont have time. I was gonna just make it a 4 seater.

I see alot of potential in this, and am trying to negotiate a deal with the accountant (wife) before contacting you.. I'm a mechanical guy by nature, but the body work, especially the roof line has me a little spooked. -Jason

Well... All limos have rear doors so the passengers can get in. I could finish this car, with rear doors & a corrected roofline, if someone wanted me to. You just have to properly re-inforce the thing to have rear doors. The "way the fiero roofs have the curve to them" is no excuse to connect them without straightening them out. When ever you shorten or stretch any car you have to re-do the roof line. On my short bug I had to cut the 1/4 window openings in several places & add/remove "pie slices" to get the top up aligned correctly, & cut the roof panel & drop it down. It's not that the car is scrap, it's just that to do it right would take about as long as starting over. But hey if anyone has the money I have the time (& skills). ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"
just saying this project was started back in 1995 or so by the press and a few of his buddies. i havnt done much work to it because i picked up my 87gt and it is my main project right now so i can drive it to the dells next week. ive picked up a ton of parts for the limo and have the intentions to build it but have no time right now. someone else could offer her more love then i can at this time. that is why im putting it up for sale. roof can be fixed not that big of deal if i finshed it it would be a 2+2
Because they tend to flex generally limo roofs are vinyl. The car also needs to have a rear door(s) to be practical.
Limos have vinyl roofs because most manufacturers use a fiberglass top & you can't mold the top & steel roofs together & paint them & not have them crack out.

Dean, If you will finish it I will buy it! For 600 bucks it would be an epic Fiero to keep at your shop for advertising and there is no timeline to finish it!

Dean's not here. But I PMed him to bring it to his attention. ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"
I think a large gull wing door on the curb side would be super-cool! Would allow you to re-enforce the rocker as much as needed, & make access to the rear seats easy. ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"
600$ is a great deal for this but it just seems like soo much more work than if you started from scratch. you have to put doors in the back, straighten the roofline then reassemble the dash.... ehhh i dunno man that fastback clip is worth some money every think of parting it out?

LOL! thanks, Paul I have seen this car in person and I think it would be cool to finish it. I just do not know how to get it here it is too long for my trailer and would cost almost that much in gas to haul it down here. D.
ya i know you dont wanna part it out lol i hate parting any fiero out i mean i die a little inside everytime i see a fiero in the junk yard, i was just talking from a practicality stand point. but if someone maybe a club or something pitch in to get this finished it would be awesome definatly one for the books.

That’s the problem with most customizers; they get into a "groove" and do not deviate from there original plan. Thus ending up with something that is not designed properly, looks proper or functions well... I can't tell you how many times I have dun something over two or three times because as I was doing it, I actually found a better, more functional/esthetic way to achieve my goal. Not too mention the number of projects I simply scrapped; because in my head, I thought it would look good. But once I started fabricating the item, I quickly realized it would look like poo...
If you have to convince yourself whether or not to do something, it probably shouldn't be dun
