This is the last car tha Delorean designed before he started his own company. You can see the design similarities.

This is my sons car. Need to sell this baby this week. He's asking $2,000. Should be $4-5K but he did some cosmetic damage to the right front fender. You can't tell unless you get close.

Pictures on Craigslist. You can pm me also.

If the car sells by this weekend at what my son is asking from someone on the Planet. I'll give $100 to Kyle to help offset server costs.

[Rain Man]

I had a 1987 that was exactly like that, but it was black. I loved that car. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Drove it for something like 12 years.

[Phobia]

Those things are tanks. Three weeks prior to shipping out for bootcamp in 1990, one of those t-boned me in my 85 Dodge Daytona. Totaled the Daytona. I get back from bootcamp and dude is still driving his Fiero around town.

[Rain Man]

They also don't get door dings since they're made from that alien technology body material.

[DJ's left nut]

Oh c'mon - someone's going to buy this, right?

I absolutely love that car, but I already have my toy car, not to mention the 10 month old sedan. Unfortunately the vehicle that needs to be replaced is the SUV and I'm not thinking a Fiero is gonna be a suitable proxy.

The Fiero is one of my favorite cars around. I'm really hoping folks are smart enough to keep a handful of those in good shape so I can buy one in a few years when I can't figure out what to do with a few thousand spare bucks...

[pr_capone]

Love the car... if I were in need of 4 wheels I'd prolly be all over it. Even more so if it were stick shift but alas I have no need.

Yeah we googled it when he first got it and we're concerned. But those fieros have some serious roll cages and frames. Better than my damn mustang.

How's ur son going to get laid now?

[BigRedChief]

How's ur son going to get laid now?

He's straight. Actually pretty smart. He's 6'4" 245 and in great shape. Works out all the time now. He lives, works, goes to college in babe central. His issue is that he too damn picky.:rolleyes:

It's 'Pussy Heaven' BRC, Pussy Heaven.

[MOhillbilly]

It's a Fuckin chick car.

[CoMoChief]

I remember (I was 16 at the time) my buddy had one of those. Thing was louder than hell and eventually the engine caught on fire lol. His mom one day called me up and asked if I could come over and move his car out of the driveway...apparantly, Dad and son (my friend) were away for a baseball tourney (she had to work and couldn't go), and she didn't know how to drive a stick (f*ckin' women) and she needed to go to work LOL.





great story i know..


The joke was on me I guess.

[CoMoChief]

You get all the ****in chicks in that car.

FYP


Same can also be said on El Camino's

[MOhillbilly]

Sr, i ain't gettin to heaven bro. Heaven is for pussies.

How many clutches have you burned through? (Or is it an auto?)

Those things were infamous for burning through a clutch every 30k. Other than that, they were fairly good rides. I almost got a burnt orange one with T-Tops for a 1st car. It had alloy wheels and a v-6. Peppy little fucker.

If anyone's interested, I can hook up a sweet deal on a pretty cherry Pinto...

Yeah, my mom had one and that sucker would move. I can't remember what I got it up to, but it was lightning fast for a cheaper car

Does it have a Flux Capacitor?

The 4-cylinder models did have some problem with fires. The 6-cylinder cars were awesome.

Oh no shit? IIRC, the auto's were few and far between.
That's good, makes it all the more dependable.

Sounded like the start to a cheap porn. Car and all.

I read that and I thought, "So his friend was out of town, and his friend's dad was out of town, and his friends mom asked him to come over to move her car, and he went over and moved her car? As a followup question, I'd ask whether she was wearing lingerie when he knocked on the door, because I think he was missing out on some social cues.

I cant believe this hasnt sold. If I was a teenager or a single guy in my early 20's I'd much rather drive this than some damn 94 Camery with 120k miles on it.

Delorean left GM in the early 70s

[Dave Lane]

Sent the ad to someone looking for a car for their daughter. Might be a good fit.

I'll trade straight up for the Command Center. Built in keg, awesome sound system, new brakes, new tires, and only 36K original miles. :D

It's labeled and accepted as "Delorean designed". Every Fiero club in the world says it was designed by Delorean.

[Holladay]

what kinda gas mileage it get?

[Otter]

what kinda gas mileage it get?

It depends on how much air drag your dress causes on city vs highway.

[BigRedChief]

what kinda gas mileage it get?

Pretty good. But, don't know exactly. You can call my son for exact mileage.

[BigRedChief]

My son dropped the price to $2000. That price only good if you close the deal by Sunday.

[Brock]

LMAO

[Holladay]

BigRed, did you get my msg bout the car. I am planning to come to town tomorrow to pick it up.

[BigRedChief]

BigRed, did you get my msg bout the car. I am planning to come to town tomorrow to pick it up.your email isn't correct that you gave me. It bounces back. I sent you a pm on this site. No response.

[FAX]

So ... is it sold, yet?

Is the price $2k now?

FAX

[Brock]

Only if it's not sold by the solstice.

[FAX]

He has a Solstice for sale, too?

FAX

[Brock]

Or an equinox, I forget.

[Holladay]

just pm a good email. planet must have an old one. my bad.

[Holladay]

I gotta run to go pick up son at basketball. Sent you another pm for my home number to coordinate the pick up of the car. Looking forward to driving it. BTW, tomorrow is the wifes B-day!!!

[BigRedChief]

FAXwellllll Halladay says he wants it and will bring the money tommorrow. Yes, it was for $2K.

[Easy 6]

I've always loved their minimalist but darty design, they look like a little arrowhead, they also compare stylewise to some 80's Lotus'.

Where they really ****ed them up though, are the awful, plain jane interiors... no better than some base model Cutlass from the same era.

But i'd LOVE to have one that some of these nutjobs have put V8's in.

[DeezNutz]

How much is the Equinox? Take a trade for a Camry with around 120K on it?

[FAX]

wellllll Halladay says he wants it and will bring the money tommorrow. Yes, it was for $2K.

I think that's a pretty good deal for both sides.

I wish I hadn't blown all my working cash on taxiderminating a hedgehog.

FAXyeah you spend about $800 to fix the cosmetic damage and it instantly makes the car worth $5-6K. But not my car and I'm not going to butt into the son's business. On the other hand I think I just spent $100 to help him sell the car.:facepalm:

Well ... sometimes, you just need to bail on stuff and move on. Especially if you have changes going on in your life.

I don't see how you should lose $100 on the deal, though. Actually, I think you should be picking up 10 points or so for your time and trouble.

FAXThe $100 bucks was promised to Kyle and the Planet for access to his illustrious community of Planeteers.

Looks like a deal is done, but if it falls through for some reason, send me a PM. GLWS!

Ah ... Well, that's pretty darn cool.

Still, I think you deserve something for your efforts, Mr. BigRedChief. I'd hit the little fella up for ten points, at least.

FAXI've been giving the planet some money every month and I just noticed that the Paypal account had expired and the planet hadn't been geting their money. so its not a big deal. Although the planet isn't qualified, I'm into random acts of kindeness these days. Paid for a young moms groceries today that was struggling with a young kid. You could tell she was really trying hard and it had been a bad day.

I'll bet that was a huge blessing for her. You're a good one, bro.

FAXNot really. I've currently got a good paying job. A lot of people don't. And its not their fault. I feel that you should give to others regardless of your station in life. Doesn't have to be money. Spend time in your church, helping a charity etc. When some stranger for no reason other to show another human being cares does something for you..... it can change more than their day.

[Dave Lane]

Awesomely cool, I like doing that stuff too
