I bought this car about 5 years ago, but had trouble navigating the California Air Resource Boards requirements to register vehicles that have had motor swaps, so it has sat in my garage awaiting the day I move out of California or the emission laws change out here. Neither has happened, and now that I've been accepted to grad school out here, I've come to grips with the fact that I have to let go of this car. I'll try to list everything that it still needs below. Despite what's probably going to be a long list, it really is a great car. I drove it around for a few months on the temporary tags, and it really is a blast. I'm sure whoever gets this car is going to have a great time with it. My loss is your gain. Shipping: You have to work out shipping. I will be super accommodating about dates and times, but you have to pick the car up before Aug 1st. Condition: Motor: The car has been extensively modified by the previous owner in order to accommodate the engine-swap. The motor is a 3800 SC from a Buick Regal GS using WCF mounts and the WCF steel flywheel. The swap is common and well-documented on the internet. The motor runs hot and I noticed the previous owner had installed an overdrive pulley on the supercharger. You will likely want to swap it out for the original (included in sale), or run the proper tune for the overdrive pulley. I don't know the actual mileage for the motor or the drivetrain. Exterior: The car was re-sprayed and the paint looks pretty decent from a distance, but there are issues. (See photos.) There is a very large chip on the front nose, probably where the previous owner had used a leather bra. There is a crack on the driver fender where the original paint underneath is exposed. The panels on the car are plastic, though, so rust is not a concern. There are also some white marks where the inconsiderate jerks who share my garage have hit it with their door. Those should buff out. Interior: The entire interior was entirely missing when I purchased the car. The skin on the driver-side door is from a fiero with manual locks so there is a weird hole where the door locks would go and the center console (aka the rear glove compartment) is missing entirely. I recently recovered the headboard and there were never were any sun-visors. Also there is a plastic part called the "spider" that the radio mounts to which has cracked. This can be sourced from a pick-and-pull or purchased from the fiero store. The radio in the picture will ship with the car. Once you replace the spider, you can re-mount the front center console which is all included. There is a small part of the seat which is worn/torn in the spot typical for Fieros from getting in/out. It should be apparent in the pictures. Drivetrain: The car has pretty much sat for five years. You should expect to want to change the tires, replace the battery, and drain and replace the fluids. I did put some gas-tender in the tank, but I don't know how long that stuff lasts for. The last time I started the car was about a year ago when I moved to this apartment complex and I drove it onto the flatbed and into the garage. (The car has been garages the entire time I've owned it.). I probably should mention that when I first got the car, I had to do a pressurized bleed on the clutch master in order to shift properly. Once I bled the system, though I drove it around for a few months with zero problems. I'm going to include a bunch of miscellaneous parts with the car. The previous owner supplied all the air conditioning parts that are needed if you want to install that. I've also bought the custom drilled rotors and (used) corvette brakes for the "big-brake upgrade", which I didn't start. All that will be included with the sale. If there are any questions, please ask. Also, please remember I need you to pick it up by Aug 1. Thanks.
