Don passed away last fall and I was asked to help with the estate sale. Don owned 4 Fiero's and a kit car in pieces.
This is a car built by Jon Langer for his personal car. It has a roll cage, tap shift enabled transmission and a turbocharges NorthStar power plant.
1986 GT with a Automodia Convertible top (need some work) 4 cylinder car
Roadster Year unknown 84, 85, 86 no top condition unknown.
Kit car body on a pre 88 chassis NorthStar powered
This kit looks to be a 308 body kit was unable to unpack it. There are interior pieces for this kit and a tail light unit for it.
Don's family plans on having a estate sale in 2 weeks, however the majority of the Fiero people from the Northwest will be at the Fierofest that weekend.
If you have interest in any of the vehicles please let me know I can get more info on the if needed.

I'm really sorry to hear about Don's passing. I remember seeing his original post months ago and it's sad he's gone and this is what's left of a Fiero owner.
I'd be curious about that red Fiero. I'm working on a Northstar swap myself...
Sorry to hear about Dratts... My condolences.... I remember his threads at Madmechanics.
FWIW, on the kit pieces, that is a 355 nose, fenders and hood in the one pic outside. Dratts had it advertised as an AD355 spyder. The pic of the hood appears to be another 355, not 308.
Looking at some of the posts at MM, he was selling an Amida interior at one point. Is that the interior you have now? Worth good coin if it is.
Good luck with the sale.

Don had a very extensive collection of Fiero parts. Some rare stuff also.
As he was preparing to pass, he offered a Held Motorsports Kit for an 87 GT.
I know that there is an Automoda kit complete in a box somewhere on the property.
The silver car is a cut up roadster that will need a lot.
The red car is a special piece. I cannot recall the builders name atm, but it is a turboed Northstar beast. Has not been on the road in nearly a dozen years now.
I did not see the orange Murcie'? If it is still available, it is a pretty sweet build by the OP. A turboed LS.
There is a lot more that is more than likely buried amongst the collection that Don had. A monumental task, but there is gold in the pile folks.
Don had a great heart.

1986 GT with a Automodia Convertible top (need some work) 4 cylinder car -- interested in this car. Are they planning on doing an estate sale auction or ebay it all.
Disclaimer: I have no interests in this process other than to help. Dratts passing was a sad tragedy. He was a Fiero enthusiast like no other.
Joe will know a lot more than I, but it is a daunting task for any person to sift through the land looking specifically for Fiero parts. The lot Don lived upon is large, weeded, holds one large barn filled to the brim with any and all thing manufactured by man, several areas where various things are kept, trailers, cars, vans, wheels, fencing, wood piles, and what you would picture as a hoarder spread out over several acres.
I know only that he absolutely loved his Grandchildren. I wish his family the best.
It looks like Don liked the N* engines and there are some good project cars on that property. If they haven't been driven in a dozen years, cylinders not fogged with oil and stored outside I would question if the cylinder walls are sound. Probably need to start off by draining the tank, changing the oil, cleaning the injectors and oiling the cylinders. If the executors sell the cars as is, then the prices may be low The ragtop is a nice rare car. Provided it has an underframe, I'll bet that it sells quickly.

Spokane Valley, WA is where the cars and parts are located.
The red car was stored inside for the duration in a proper storage unit. I would imagine that it has only sat outside for a short period of time. Many go fast parts on this car. Bought and stored.
