i am more of an Archiver.....the guy who writes down what the Historian is dictating.....
i love the Absolute Truth.....you know all opinions aside.....the flat out, final Truth.

the numbers, as far as the SE vs GT, are all over the place and are sure to prove, spectulation to a certian degree.
i dont know.....i will still hunt for this truth. but for now, i think i am going to take Mera X to a car show 25 miles from my house.

I had high bid for a few day at about $151 then lost track/ forgot it until last night when i realized i was out bid and it was sold. I would have easily went to 300 but missed it.

Hey Tom!

I took over this as a botched project and have spent the last few years correcting and finishing the project. There are still some issues but I'll eventually get to it all. It still has a 2.8 (for now) , automatic, early 90s Mitsubishi dash, VDO gauges, and a host of changes that don't appear in the photos. The shifter has been changed to a stick shift replica, and a custom welded subframe brace with removable center section for gas tank access.

The wheels are Enkei F9 and they do have a twist to the spoke.

Now I'm at the stage of sorting out the suspension parts to drop it slightly to close the fender gaps and redoing the interior panels and seats to better match the new dashboard. Last will be new paint with some custom changes like fabric covered roof to replicate the GTS lift off targa top. There might even be a few GTO cues added. I would really like to do this over in black I doubt that I can get the panels smooth as glass to have black really work.

Competition Yellow 84 2.5 Bone stock right down to electrical gremlins and an 87 328 replica.

I took a quick look at this last week. It is a modified stock Fiero/Mera interior for the most part. Looks kind of ugly to me but each to his/her own.

One of my 1988 Meras is a GT and the other one is a Formula platform. The 1987 is also a GT. This is based on VIN info.

Holy Crap Dan!! If that article is correct, I purchased one of the SIX 88 Mera GT's! Is there anyway that number can be verified?? My title clearly lists my car as a Fiero GT. It has the GT steering wheel, stock GT leather, and factory Performance sound which I believe was not available on the Formula in 88. I will dig out my factory 88 brochure to verify this. Pics of my car when I got it are still posted back in this thread. In fact, Dan was the one that put them in the thread. I vote Dan for Mera Historian!

Well Nelson, we have accounted for two of the six. Now where are the other four?

Hey Rick! Dang, you lucky dog! Considering how few GTs were converted (if the article is correct), and how many Meras are left, you MAY have the only one left!

LOL...dunno about Dan the Historian, but the guy can research like nobody's business!

Tom




Tom, I almost did not buy the car, because I did not believe it was a real Mera. Everything I had read at the time said the 88's were all built on Formula platforms. Now it appears Nelson has one too. Just four to find. I have been communicating with the Fiero enthusiast from Taiwan. He told me that 100 Fieros were sent to Taiwan in 87 and 88, and most were GT's. He will be sending me more info on the exhaust system we have been researching. It is interesting that so many Mera's were sent to Japan. I wonder if any of the 88 GT Mera's are over there?
