Edit: decided to put a number out there. Asking $3k.

I've been sitting on my second 3800 project for about 2-3 years now and have finally admitted I won't have time to complete it for a few more years. Now that my wife and I have decided to sell the house and move, I'm looking for reasonable offers on my existing 3800 project. I have about $10k invested in this project but it is by no means complete. Below is a list of items I'm including along with the car for the next lucky person who's looking for a great project. However, the catch is that currently the engine cradle is out of the car and I've had the rear suspension bushings pressed out (I have no replacements for the bushings). Therefore, the car is on jack stands in the rear and whoever comes to pick it up will need to be prepared to transport it without rear wheels. If you need the rear suspension reassembled it will cost $300 for me to buy the bushings and re-install everything I'm going to order the bushings and try to get everything re-installed this weekend. I'm very busy right now with preparing for the move and I also run my own business on top of working full time so if I don't get back to you immediately, please be patient. While I'm more interested in getting this project off my plate, I am not going to give it away and so I may entertain multiple offers if they come my way. If I don't receive a fair offer I'll probably list it on Ebay with no reserve.

Mileage: 101k

12" Corvette Vented Discs
Koni struts/shocks all around
17x7 custom 5-spoke wheels in the front and 18x8 wheels in the back (originally silver spokes, plati-dipped them day 1 before installing - I imagine if the plasti-dip were removed the wheels would look nearly brand new)
Mr. Mikes Leather/Cloth seat covers installed

Set of Powerlog exhaust headers
Full Gasket kit (Cometic head gaskets, intake, timing cover, water pump, etc.)

stock 3800 rockers
Fiero 2.8 Thermostat housing (was going to modify to use on the 3800)
Custom 3800/Fiero wiring harness built by Injection Technology with A/C and electronic cruise stub out (I was going to splice in using an ECC, but I never bought one so the wires are labeled but there are no terminators)
Custom 3800/Fiero A/C hose that includes high pressure connector for switch
Radius FPR I was going to use to relocate the FPR close to the tank for "returnless" setup
Aeromotive Aluminum Anodized Fuel logs for 3800
New DW300 Deatschworks Fuel Pump
ECU from Series II 3800
Low-Profile headlight brackets with low and high beam bulbs (projector-style) w/ wiring harness for '88.
LED kit for rear taillights, LEDs and other surface mount components already installed.
Northstar TB

Rodney Dickman Decklid strut
Left and Right Decklid Vents (fair condition)
Assortment of '88 sensors, brackets, bolts
New exterior moulding clips, rivets, fasteners
1988 Fiero GT Service Manual
Wiring table for debugging purposes and to finish off the cruise control, etc.
Extras like spark plug wire that can be cut to length and fitted for custom wires, a box of AN fittings for fuel lines and high pressure (>220psi) hose with the installation tool and lube
Dietmar-style quarter scoops (predrilled, unpainted)

Other Items
Engine hoist will also be included for negotiable price
I have other Fiero-specific tools and general purpose tools I'll probably want to part with (220V 25-30 gal air compressor, 14" cuttoff chop saw, etc.

Things I think I have but can't find:
Northstar adapter plate
New 3800 Alternator

Have questions? Please ask. I have no idea what price to ask so if you're interested contact me.

Grsychckn, just an observation from a tire kicker. With the car being a non-roller and loads of parts it seems to me there would be a very limited number of enthusiasts in any one geographic region that could deal with that. If you could invest the $300 (plus time) to get it into rolling condition and maybe pallet-up everything else it might make the purchase seem doable to folks outside your immediate area. Something to think about perhaps ...

Thanks, I'm looking into it now anyway because of an offer I received. Should I have to get it to a rolling chassis state, I might try to get the block/transmision installed along with the rear suspension to save on transport costs.

Yes, they were purchased from fierorog. They are in a picture above. I can single them out if you would like.

Thanks. You have a lot of parts I need but my wife would murder me if I brought home another car.

If anyone wants to buy just the car in this (sans seats . . .at least switched out for stock ones ) I'd be willing to put it together as a roller. The follow on is how soon do you need to get this off your property? (ie moving?)

Edit: And I'm about an hour north of you in Alexandria.

Double Edit: Any thought on selling some of those parts? Notably the seats (+give me stock ones so it still has seats).

Best,

Understood. I don't want your wife to kill you but if you are interested in the parts perhaps we can make a deal for the whole project. I have one thread going right now but I don't have an official offer on the table as yet. Feel free to make me an offer as I don't think you'll offend me. I don't need the car gone ASAP though because we don't have a contract on a house (much less sell our current one). I'm going to order new bushings today and try to get the project to a rolling chassis stage this weekend. I'll try to get the engine/trans mated and mounted to the cradle to help make transportation easier.

I was told this morning it's sold and pickup arranged to occur this week.

Edited 7-19-2019 for full disclosure: Car is now picked up. I was the buyer and thank you, Brian. You put a good final push into getting the car ready in unpleasant heat. A red '88 GT 5 spd has been on my wish list for a couple years now. Maybe one day I'll locate another wide body kit at a discount for it.
