As many if you know, my Fiero is having clutch issues. I believe it's the throw out bearing, but it screams when I depress the clutch and I can smell it starting to smoke. I bypassed the neutral safety switch to isolate the problem to the clutch. Engine works just fine. It shifts into gear just fine and bled just fine, but something in there is screaming when I depress the clutch.
I have no time, money or willpower to get it going so I'm selling my Fiero.

Hopefully that will take you to the gallery, and I can post more pics upon request. No undercarriage pics but it is rust free. I drove it in the snow twice and both times took it directly to the carwash for a belly wash. It came from San Diego in 2010. I got it with 56k miles. It now has a bit over 82k miles. Non smoker car. It's dirty in the pics, but the interior is pretty nice. (7/10ish)
The good: Rodney clutch slave and master, outer tie rods poly trans mounts, heavy duty front sway bar with red poly and endlinks Enkei custom 15" wheels. Just has generic Walmart wheels on them right now, good tread. Maybe 6k miles on them. Engine runs good. Headlight motors work. LED replacement assemblies, very nice and bright. Original donut looks good, everything is very sound GT gauges and sub sound system installed. Gauges work great. It runs great and brakes well, the whole system got upgraded two years ago by me. Even ebrake works great and is adjusted. Low mileage rust free, very solid starter chassis for a project Custom stainless dash kit and deck vents Rich made Comes with a slew of extra stuff like new mudflaps, extra ignition parts, break and clutch bleeding parts, Rodney inner tie rods, and a new rubber motor mount I never got to install. Every last fiero related items I have will come with this car.l, unsure how much I have but not a ton.
The bad/ugly: Previous noted clutch condition RPMs read about 400 low for some reason. Replaced Tac filter, maybe needs new adjustable board. AC has a blown hose, is an aftermarket AC. I blew it refilling it. The heater controls knob snapped off. You can adjust fan with two small screwdrivers or glue it back on. I never did. pulls a little to the right even after alignment needs a new outer tie rod on passenger side I think. Dashboard has two small areas of damage seen in pics but is an 8 of ten. It's very nice and the bottom corners are solid. Driver's seat stitching has dissolved and needs restitching before it gets messed up. Has a little fabric glue in the seam but it can be peeled off Sunroof does not leak but does whistle around the windshield or gasket. Passenger mirror dropped a post down in the door, so it is only holding on by one post. . The paint is SCREWED. It's original and has sat outside all its life. I wanted to paint it last and never got there. Finally, about two years ago I documented a fuel pressure mishap where I had a fire from fuel hitting a live wire. I replace every wire and sensor that got messed up but I never found a replacement for the air intake crinkly hose. It has a hole melted in it and I just have duct tape wrapped around it.
That's all I got. Hopefully you can get to the photo gallery, I'm not trying to relearn posting photos on here. 😆 I'll check for responses and DMS every day or two. Thanks for looking. Tbone ------------------

Looks like a fair deal for a low mileage rust free project car Fiero, if it really is that way. Problems can be fixed and the price is right.

This is tempting... If I had a spot to put in at my house I'd be out hitching up my trailer to come pick it up.
