I am in the market for a nice fiero for around $5000. I like the 3.4dohc, and I like the wheels (I would switch it to a fastback and paint it black). Was this a properly done swap, and do you think the price is good for $4500? I am thinking about holding out and finding a lower miles 88 though. Any thoughts?

oh yeah, i already have flush mounts and a lot of mods that I would switch over onto this car, I'm not bothered by the headlight motors not working

Yeah but leave it a friggin notchback!

Yes. I flew to Seattle and paid $4500us for my car. Mine was just a stock low mile 86GT.

That car looks like a good deal and its a really sweet engine.

I say buy it, and switch it to fastback. haha Donk, you know fastbacks are faster.

buy it on the condition he puts in new ac delco plugs. You dont want to be chasing that in a month.

Looks like its in real good shape. Paint looks decent and the rims too. I don't know too much about his motor installation but the wiring must be right since Erik did it, and it doesnt look like there's anything wrong with it at a glance.

Here's what I don't understand:
Why does he have a pic of Fast88Fiero's 3.4 DOHC? Did Fast88Fiero sell his car to this guy?

I was thinking this was the same car as well. I think James bought it (fast88Fiero) and then sold it back to the guy. If you want the skinny on this car, pm or email Fast88Fiero or maybe he will see this thread and chime in.

It is worth it. I did own this car for a while and was happy with it. I was the person who installed the front lowering springs and suspension components. It was a nice car, got mid 20's for gas mileage and was fun to drive.

If you're interested I'm getting ready to sell my 87 GT 350 conversion, it is black. It has a 350 with 4 barrel carb, very fast, 5 spd, ac sunroof and all other options except leather. Gets 24 mpg highway, 20 mpg city, if you drive it normal. It has custom embroidered seats out of mid 90 grand prix. Just about everything serviceable has been done in the past three years, I would take it across country if needed. I like it alot, but I didn't build it, and now I'm going to do one myself. If you send me an email I'll get you some pics and a write up on it this weekend.

edit: the car you're considering looks good too, i just like the fastback style better myself.

I need something that will pass emissions. Would yours even be close?
you can send pics to fieroformula2000@hotmail.com

Thanks

So, did you decide if you are going to get it or not?

I think Im going to find a low mileage gt and swap a 3800sc into it.

I made an offer today, lets see if he takes it (higher then the only offer he has got so far).

What kind of wheels are those?

Buy my car with the swap already done. Spend your money on cosmetics and have a running, driving, street legal, California emissions ready 3800SC the day you pick it up. The chassis is a bit old (220,000 miles) but only 90,000 on the swap, you could easily plug and play the whole swap into a newer car if that is a problem for you.

your car is still for sale?


how much are you asking for it now?

you can email me at webmaster (at) motirol dot com

Im very interested.

He is now dropping a V8 in that car, I am picking up the 3.4DOHC out of it in 2 days!!!!! He's including pretty much everything but the tranny for the swap.
