The good news is, that it's $20,000 in Canadian funds. Works out to about $14,333 in US dollars.

The bad news is, just about everything else.

Needs just a bit of work. I suspect the fella believes this project is worth a tad more than it really is.

No, I'm not going to provide a link to this ad. It's from Facebook Marketplace, and I don't want the guy identified and harassed.

Knock yourself out.

I'm not the type to beat up people for stuff that they post for sale. I just quietly keep scrolling, unless it's an obvious scam.

I'm guessing the hardest part is going to be finding / obtaining glass that will fit those windows. The back window is probably no problem... just a flat panel... but the doors and windshield... I wouldn't even know where to start.

Oh come on Raydar, I'm hardly beating the guy up here. I was just rather surprised that someone would describe their project vehicle as "not completely finished" when it's no where even near being completed... and yet, still asking a premium dollar for it. And with this kit car being based on a Fiero chassis, I thought people here at a Fiero forum might possibly have some interest in the photos from the ad.

If I truly wanted to beat on someone, I'd return to P&R and express a few opinions.

You and me both. A project of that magnitude is well beyond my pay grade. It would take me for freakin' forever to finish it.

To be honest, there is no way to finish that kit. It looks like his Fiero is stretched but he bought a standard non-stretch body kit.

I suspect it's this photo that's given rise to your observation. Is there a chance that it's simply the angle the photo was taken at (with a deeply recessed wheel/tire) that makes it look like the front wheel/tire possibly isn't centered in the wheel well?

It's possible. Now that I look at it, that's not the right front end for a Countach kit. That looks like a Diablo front end. What a mixed up kit.

Looks like a failed project that IMO is not worth much. I'd be very surprised if this un-assembled kit vehicle sells .The seller has every right to ask what he wants but I think he's way off on this one.

Especially at the price he's asking. It's been listed for (at least)16 weeks so far.
