I am looking for specific Fiero and was hoping members here could keep an eye out where they live for me. I will have the car shipped if it is the right one.
I am looking for a Formula (hence my catchy name) Mint condition Low miles (less than 20,000) As many options as possible Must have a T-roof (I have 2 formulas already with 6,400 original combined miles without t-roofs) Prefer an automatic Color in order of preference Yellow, Red, Dark red, white, black Or if someone happens across a mint T-top kit that might work too.
I Saw a 7,500 mile GT and seriously considered buying that and swapping the parts off my formula to "make" a t-top formula
have you considered swapping in a t top setup? It isn't that difficult other than finding good seals. Oh wait I see you were considering buying the GT to swap the t tops in. Why not just shop for the t tops alone?

Obviously you are a Formula Geek......so you realize how few were made. The CJB option was only..299 cars. Figure half of those were automatics, and half of those are now gone. So now we are down to 75 cars and I think that is probably generous considering all the Formulas that ended up cannibalised to make kit cars. How many of the remainder have under 10,000 miles? .....maybe 10.
But I suspect you will be patient...

I have been so far :-) . It's easy to find a GT tbar but the Formula's are a different story

I saw one a couple of days ago on craigslist but I do not remember exactly where. I was looking in a lot of states.

Have you looked underneath your cars, maybe you only have the common male version? This specific example appears to be a late model female version which makes it even more rare. Couple that with the t-tops and I think there are probably only 2 or 3 left on the road.
I was going to make the same point . I have bra 's on both my Fiero's. Not to PROTECT (the paint) but rather to HIDE (spider cracks ) This is what happens when you have very flexible body panels but not flexible paint. Kit

Still looking for the right Formula if anyone has a lead. (See the beginning for details). I even have a Formula (1800 original miles) to trade for it if necessary
Exactly what I was looking for all original yellow, t-bar automatic all options. with 14,000 original miles. Took a while to find it...
Thanks to all you folks who took the time to make suggestions and post them to my thread. You effort was appreciated.
Thanks for following up with a post but pics would be appreciated. Pretty much for the right price anything you can imagine is available. But a time will come when the only nice Fieros are in museums or rare garage queens. I personally would never want a garage queen, but to each his or her own. There needs to be another term for Fieros that haven't left the garage because the owner is too broke or lazy to fix it. Garage Prince?
Amazing find! I remember back in the day when the yellow t-top Formula was of mythical status. I bet one with such low mileage set you back a few bucks!
