I am selling this car at no reserve because it has developed a knock. I took it to NAPA's garage and they said it could be spark knock or main bearing failure. It shows good oil pressure so I'm not sure what's going on. I am moving and don't have room at my new house to take an engine out if need be so I'm cutting my losses and selling it as is. I purchased it for $5,800 and it was driving strong with no problems but I took it three blocks from my house two weeks ago and it started knocking. The 400 engine was rebuilt by the previous owner as was the 400 tranny and a shift kit was installed. It has positraction rear and power steering/brakes. It has a brand new Holley 4160 aluminum carburator and electric fuel pump. The body is extremely straight and is nearly rust free with surface rust bubbling on the bottom of the wheelwell (see pic.) There are a couple paint chips that were repaired by the previous owner. The frame is also in great shape and only shows surface rust also. Original Rally rims are in excellent shape with like new Cooper tires all around. Interior is in great condition with NO dash cracks and it retains the original mahogany wood on the console and dash(only year for this,next came decals.) The seats are worn and ripped in a few places but the cushions and springs are still in excellent condition. It has new sway bar bushings and shocks are like new,it drives down the road straight,handles and stops like it should.I hate like hell to let such a clean example go but I can't keep it if my wife's gonna scream at me everytime she sees it. You can email me with any questions and I'll try to answer asap. Or you can call my home(309)444-9712 or my cell(702)576-6141. You're more than welcome to come check it out but obviously it will need to be trailered.Thanks for looking and have a great day.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
