Quite a few people interested in this unique ride. Not really sure what it is though. I wonder how you register it?

Given that it's kind of a patchwork kit car, I don't think it looks half bad.

Am I missing something? It is a V8 Fiero conversion. They really move. There is a website devoted to those, I think the '88 is the preferred car to start because it got a lot of upgrades. The transaxles hold up OK as long as you don't use slicks.

Looks like a pretty nice car but for what he spent on it, he could have picked up a nice C4.

At least it looks like it was finished. So many end up being sold 'as is',
lost interest.

So it must be me. Alot of the cars that get roasted here I kinda like. This one did nothing for me at all (but I wouldn't mind shoehorning a SBC in the back of an '88 Fiero).

Talk about strapping a V8 directly to your shorts...that must be what it feels like. It's a small step above the V8 go-kart.
