I would drive all but the last one. The Escalade looks kind of silly because it's a fancy Avalanche with flames, but other than a rims, it at least looks like it was done by someone who had painted a car before. The first two I would drive all day and listen to nothing but new wave with the windows down.

I was expecting "gold," but nope, if you're going to ship a Fiero overseas, that's probably the one to ship.

Was it the '88 that's the year to look for when you want a Fiero? I've always wanted one, but they all seem to be converted into horrible versions of Italian cars.

edit

Here's an interesting swap. Someone put a whole lot of time and effort into this project. Interior looks amazing.

Ah the ever-so-common Cleveland 452.
Which I presume is a 351 Cleveland bored over so far the cylinder walls are nearly see-through.

Although a well-rebuilt 351c is actually worth quite a lot these days.

I personally think the 88 GTs are the best looking Fieros and IIRC there was some upgrades to the rear? suspension in 88 that makes them better than previous models. It kind of sucks, just when they started to get the car sorted out and power levels started recovering in engines they canceled the thing.

On the Fiero someone must have really wanted it. The RHD conversion looks pretty good too. It would have needed to be certified as well. Really I think it's both "gold" and gold.

That's what I had heard as well, but wasn't sure if it was 88 in particular. Thanks.

And yeah, the last GT design looks killer. I really liked what they did with the taillights.

edit

So everyone probably knows that El Caminos command an unusually large amount, compared to the other G-bodies (not including the GN and H/O), but I've been running into a few ridiculous prices lately.

You're right, I totally missed that it was from a '91. I guess it depends on when the swap was done. If we're talking early '90s then it's not a horrible swap.

It was looking good until it said "All original. No modifications."

I don't know how anyone can make a car run for 20 years without repairing any of the components.

That's typically not what "No modifications" means. It usually means that they have all OEM equipment and not mods like a fart can or changed out the intake. If the muffler went 4 years ago, they replaced it with a like muffler etc.

I had a 91 SE-R and regret selling it since it had no rust. They are definitely fun little cars with the SR20, 5 speed, and limited slip. The brakes are good as well. They are no Intrega Type-R in terms of raw abilities, but are better than a lot of other FWD stuff. They like to rust around the bottom rockers/sills. Plus I like how they look.
