Stumbled on a deal - 87 Fiero GT. Build or Flip? -VIDEO

[Kenneth L Nielsen]

Dang Craigslist...
Stumbled on a heck-of-a deal for a 1987 Fiero GT in pretty darn good condition for just over $1k.

Spent a few more hours back at the shop giving her a complete exam and firing it up.

Now for the hard part... Making a firm decision to either Build it or Flip it. The decisions us car guys must make....

Video - 87 Fiero Purchase, Build or FLIP?

Makes me want one.

My thoughts are to fix the alternator and get it 100% roadworthy and sell it to someone that wants an original, unmolested GT, like a Fiero purist or something. Save the deep modding for one that needs repair in the first place and is better suited to be cut up.

I think this is a very rational approach and I am leaning this direction. I am going to swap that sweet steering wheel for the crappy one in my white SC Fiero (in video towards end) and perhaps the seats. I have been looking for a perfect wheel like that for 2 years and would have paid $100 for it alone. I also see the tail lights on fleabay for quite a bit of $$ which makes me wonder if parting it out might be the best way to go. Yes... I do tend to overthink these things.... Thanks for the comment!

Seen one in Michigan at the M-1 Race facility with a Northstar V-8 in it.

Was a popular swap back in the day--when people thought Northstar's were a good motor lol.

I think that is becoming more true - especially steering rack and brake parts...
