heres something tho....."This Rodney Dickman verified Pontiac Mera started life as a 1988 fiero gt,"

If I remember like, only 6-1988 GT's got converted right??
was that the American cut only.....or were those 6 split between the US, Japan and/or Europe??
I had another question come to mind after seeing a CJB "T-Top Registry" thread in General Chat....
do we know if any legit CJB Mera installs. T-Top fieros are low but CJB T-Top Mera have to be real low, yes??

Dan,

I have one of the very few 88 GT platforms used for the Mera and I believe that another one is with a PFF member in Texas. That leaves only four more to identify. WRT the CJB T-Top on an 88 Mera, I have a set of CJBs on my 88 GT platform Mera. However, I should clarify that they were transferred from another 88 GT to my car several years ago. I do have an 87 Mera with the dealer installed (I assume) t-tops and the C&C sticker. Do either of these vehicles count as a T-Top Mera?

This guy really evokes Rex to me! I imagine the serious rust on the Vitalonis may give some pause to a future owner.
Like Nelson's 1987, Rex has the C&C (dealer installed?) option with my sticker showing service contacts in S. Cal of course.
How I wish we could learn the delivered price after the sale is completed. Here's hoping it goes to an appreciative soul.
batousai666 NOV 13, 06:04 PM
yup....as always with these darn Mera, the stickers and/or RPO code always win in the end

At that price and looking at the rust and potential paint issues, there may not be a sale. The interior is also somewhat bedraggled in my opinion and I have some questions wrt a vehicle that has been stored for a number of years. BTW, the vehicle does not have power steering based on my correspondence with the seller.

The yellow Mera (in F308 disguise) is actually in Finland. The current owner sent me an e-mail asking what this car would go for in the US. I do see that the power steering info appears to have been removed from the ad.
