Cammer,
I appreciate your reply but I am not planning on a restoration. I just want to get it running and drive it to work.

I thumped the floors and they seemed to be OK. The grass is grown up around the edge of the car but there is space between the frame and the ground. I am just looking for something to use as a daily driver but would like it to be a Pontiac.
The tag expired in 2007 and it's probably been sitting since then but he has started the car several times and says it idles smoothly. I don't know if it had the bogging problem when he bought it but I think it may have. He actually got the car for parts to use on a Ferrari kit car he is building.
I am going to offer him $500 and see what he says. I'll let Y'all know Monday evening.

I would look at the hose from the throttle plate to the MAF sensor. Sometimes the torque of the engine in gear twists enough to open up a crack in the hose and introduce false air ( vac leak).

Those are neat little cars, there are few around the Chicago area that have had V8 conversions including one with an LS in it.

Well if you DO buy it, there's a place about 5 minutes from me called www.thefierofactory.com. It's in north Alabama (Harvest). Nice kid owns the place-he bought it from the old guy who built the business after working there for several years. He's got several acres full of nothing but Fieros, and will ship used parts. Does a lot of the Cadillac 4.5 V8 conversions, but would probably have anything you need to get 'er going. There's also a pretty informative forum on his site.

I like the Fieros as well, especially the GT's..

Gulliver,
Thanks for the link. I am about 6 hrs south. If I do get the car I may have to make a yard run!

A friend of mine had a fiero gt back in the 90's and that thing handled corners really good. Hope you can get it for a decent price.

I wasn't able to make a deal with the owner. He wanted $850 and I offered him $450. He wouldn't come down any so I told him I would have to pass.
