I got a new Fiero this week. My friend Stan found it but he wasnt looking for another car.
The car is a 86 GT. It's gold with tan interior. The paint is faded and the drivers side ground fx piece is cracked. The rims, body, fastback windows and tail ligths are in good shape. It hardly has any rust on the car anywhere! Options are sunroof, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, a/c, aux gauges, wingless, cruise control and a 4 speed manual transmission. EVERYTHING on the car works from the A/C to both head lights to the E-brake. The car has 109K miles on it. It hesitates and misses at partial throttle but runs good at WOT. Gonna fix that tomorrow. When Stan found it it was not running and the shop it was at said it needed an engine because the timing chain was bad. A turn of the distributor and it started right up. The best part is I got the car for $300. I'll post some pictures up tomorrow. Was too dark for pictures tonight.

Nope. The 88 only had 27k on it when I got it. If you're talking about the gold 87 coupe I got then yes, you are correct. I was going to fix it up until I found all the rust.

oh reallly from your history of fieromaster88 thread
I had to promise I wouldnt modify the car in any way, which they never should have made me do.
After a while I wanted to mod the car. I know I wasnt supposed to, but hey, it was in my name and was my car!
hehehe

Exactly. I never planned on keeping my car stock but told my parents I would so they would cosign the loan.
