I got this car in trade for doing a substantial amount of work on another fiero (replacing a rusty cradle and much more). It has 107,000 miles. It is a 4 cylinder, manual, hardtop, no spoiler or luggage rack, manual windows, manual locks, manual mirrors, no AC. It is a very lightly optioned car so there is a lot less to go wrong. The rear brakes needed a lot of help since one of its previous owners broke a caliper and then cut the line and folded it over in 2 different places so the fluid would not leak out. I got a used caliper and rebuilt it, repaired the hard lines, and put in new rubber lines on both sides and it now stops like it is supposed to. The E-brake cables seem locked up so I did not connect them to the caliper but they are mounted where they are supposed to be with the springs just not attached to the caliper arm. I have 2 of the 3 e-brake cables that work and are from an 88 that will go with the car if you want to hook it up.

The engine did not run when I got it and was told that the previous owners (not who I got it from but the owners before) could not get the thing running and tried for months. Replaced crank position sensor and it started right up and runs just fine. I have put about 40 miles on it and it drives straight down the road with no odd noises. I was also told it has a newer clutch but do not know that for sure.

The paint I think could be saved or at least be made decent. Not sure how all the strange scuffs got into it but they are all over. I have never buffed or wet sanded a car before so I did not want to possibly mess it up any worse. The roof has the clear coming off so it wont turn out as well but the hood and decklid are good.

I thought about making this into a project car for another 3800 since there is very little rust on the car overall but decided I don't need another 3800 fiero. I took pictures of the trunk corners so you can see they are pretty solid. There is some rust on the cradle but its not bad.

I am asking $1900.

If you have any questions or if you want any more specific pictures feel free to PM me. Thanks for looking

Looks decent. If only I had some extra $$. Would make a great 3800 project car.
