Bought me a Fiero sight unseen. It was delivered today. Headliner is intact, no rust on the undercarriage, no rust in spare tire area.

Idles rough from a vacuum leak and e-brake is broken, but not bad. 143k miles, but in good shape. only 1500

Kinda funny I was searching Craigslist 30 min ago for these! Nice looking car! Can I ask where this was? It looks like one I was looking at.

It was in Northeast PA. Im not gonna swap the motor. I want to leave it pretty stock. Its not a track car, just a weekend tooler for my daughter and I when I dont want to take out the vette. There is really nothing to build on it. I got a great deal on it because the guy said there was a vacuum leak. and there is, but what he heard was the intake elbow wasn't on all the way. Ebrake cable needs replaced is really all i have seen it needs. Oh and a dash but what Fiero doesn't. Gonna use the Fiero Store overlay. They actually look nice. 

Digital dash conversion is a possibility. Its so 80's that i really just wanna be "that guy" wearing me some spandex and def leppard yo.

Having owned three Fieros, I'm going to go out on a limb and say you'll have to rebuild or replace the rear calipers AND the e-brake cables to get the e-brake working properly.  That car is still a great buy, though, especially with no undercarriage rust in NE PA.  Somebody loved it enough to replace the sail panels and do a pretty nice paint job on it too.

I loathe these cars, but that looks like a solid buy for the price!

Tis Just a motor swap away but a street fiero with something like the super duty 4 would be cool.
