I sent them an offer of $2000...let see how badly they really want to sell it.

I told the contact I emailed, "That car was a piece of crap on its best day, so you've kept a piece of crap on ice for 20 years, now you have a 20 year old piece of crap. NADA, KBB and Edmunds give that car $1200 in total value. I'll give you $2000. Just think, you're way ahead of the curve if you take it. Let me know if you are interested in doing business and I will fly up there and take it off your hands."

Then I will run it over to the Barrett Jackson auction and sell it there to a collector who might give $20K for it. They are never going to move it otherwise

You don't understand.
It has a 3spd automatic.

While modern cars need 4 to 8 speeds in their automatics.
That Fiero only needs 3.
That my boy is FUCKING BALLZ

Turbo 350/400...you only need 3 speeds or even 2 if the motor can pull it. The only reason OEMs are going to higher speeds is to improve fuel economy.

I cant see anyone being stupid enough to pay $35k for that piece of shit. if they are, I've got a brand new first ever produced Porsche 351 with 0 miles and never titled sitting in my garage. and I'll sell it for $5mil.
