It's a Formula that was turned into a GT by a previous owner.
5 speed
Sunroof
A/C
Rebuilt Title

I bought the car off of Rich from Las Vegas Fiero Club; I was told it didn't run for about 4 years. Had AZ tags on it, last registered in 2004. The sail panels have the scoops on them and the rocer panels are upgraded. The hood had a scoop put in to help move air through the radiator. Previous owner didn't complete the project; exposed glass fibers everywhere and needs a lot of work. I got the engine running but developed a noise in the engine and lacks serious power.

I plan on putting a 3800sc in it, restoring the body and interior. I'll add power windows as I go along.





She's in rough shape, but I'll bring her back to the glory that one of these things deserve

Great... not only is the data being kept under wraps, but now the videos are private as well.



EDIT: The video is viewable now. Thanks.

It seems pretty useless to collect all this information and make it available to no one.



Perhaps if we as a group stop feeding him information until he begins to share the data that we have all freely given him? There are givers and takers in this world...

Think that one over again. If 88databaseguy does not want to share his information, the next best source is this thread. We might as well put everything we can find on here for the next guy who wants to tackle the problem. It's not an easy job to build an interactive database of 26,000 units, and he certainly is not obligated in any way. There are others who have said they would get this done, and nothing has happened there either.

Sorry if my post sounded a bit harsh...John had been collecting information long before this thread started, so I'm sure there is much more information than we see here...I think my biggest worry comes from hearing about cherished members of our family passing away...John, if you're out there still, I hope there is a plan to let this information get back to the community if anything happens to you...

It would be a shame to lose all the info collected before this thread was started. I get PDF documents that contain the registered cars from the head honcho of another car registration project I contribute to, and it is quite convenient. The 87 registry guy is a pretty good dude.

The Craigslist information will disappear after the car is sold, so I translated it to the text format so it stays in this thread.

I could build us an app... would it be a good idea to extend the database to all years / models?

I think so. There's an 86 registry thread that I may add to. Someone can give me the green light and I'll start. We could also decide on a universal format type for the registrations. Mine is different than Gall's.
