I will post more pictures after work tomorrow. I will get a few interior shots, and a few more exterior, engine and front compartment pics. The car is being sold because I simply hate that it is sitting and not being enjoyed. I take it out for drives around the block or around the neighbourhood about once every month or so... The car had less than a hundred (maybe a hundred fifty?) miles on it in the last year. This was not a daily driver and spent it's life with me in the garage. I've owned it for about 11 years. The engine has always had Royal Purple Oil and Wix Oil filters.
Shocks, tie rods, and springs were replaced last year. I have coil overs on the rear.

Wow, Top! You shouldn't have too much trouble selling this beauty. I wish I had some spare cash. I suspect you will sell it locally, I always have the best luck that way. What size tires are you running? They fill the wheel nicely. Better than mine. Free bump

I am going to park it on the lemon lot on base next week to see if there is my interest there as well. The wheels are 17". I have lowering springs on the front and coil overs on the rear to adjust the stance.
Thanks for the free bump.

The tires are 215/45/R17. I am pleased that it sold already, but I have to admit the reality of it going away caused a little sleeplessness last night. However in the same breath, going to another Fiero enthusiast means that it will be in good hands.

Yes, I will be Fieroless for now, but who knows what the future holds. I took promotion at work so my time is even more limited... and when I do have time off, it is typical spent with family, and not in the garage, or pleasure driving.
If you asked me a year ago, I would have told you that my Fiero will be with me until the end. As time changes, so does priorities.

Well we had a surprising turn of events. Wicked was set to come for the Fiero, and I was ready to say goodbye to a car that I've spent countless hours reworking into what it is today. I was at work yesterday morning and my wife called me and was more distressed about me selling my Fiero, or as she refers to it "the other woman", than I could have ever imagined. She had more of a sentimental value attached to the car that no amount of cash could compensate. Now, my wife is not a Fiero enthusiast, but she has fully supported my hobby, and NEVER - EVER questioned the money or time I spent on it, and both are pretty substantial.
After all was said and done, I had to contact WickedGTP and cancel the sale. I felt horrible since I pretty much got someone's hope up, and pulled the rug out from underneath him. However at the end of the day I had to go with my wife's wishes.
So I will still be around, and perhaps need to start making it to more shows. Daytona, here I come!
BTW, did I mention that I have a remarkable wife?

Tony, no hard feelings. Like I said, sounds like you have a good woman on your hands. Look forward to meeting you and getting a closer look at your car in Daytona.
