My Craigs list find

[steven Durham]

A bit bigger than most ( Like Me ) It is a Pontiac 4 cylinder front wheel drive.
I just check Craislist every day for mini bikes trikes and go Karts.
Clear title and it runs for $400.00

As yet I don't know for sure but it may be from a Pontiac Fiero they made both 4 and 6 cylinder cars. As for the rest it is all one off built. The front wheel is Harley but lots of things to check out if the blinking rain stops.

So, is it a Quad four or a 153 Iron Duke? That is pretty cool!

Hi Neck : Well there are a lot of the Fiero trikes around that remain in the back of the car body. So I guess I have a lot to learn about the engine and drive package. I have heard of the Iron Duke. I will get better pictures of the motor I know it has a homemade intake manifold.

Neat bike, Steve. I'll keep my eye open for you riding it around the neighborhood. Shouldn't be hard to spot. :smile:

A Fiero pretty much just uses the front wheel drive package from a Pontiac Sunfire/Chev Cavalier. The complete cradle/engine/transaxle assy in most modern cars is held in place w/only about 4 big bolts. You can take it out as a complete unit. Renault did the same thing as a Fireo to their R5 model, moving the package from the front to the middle and made a serious rally contender out of it.

Steve, what the mini part?????:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Nice find, I could put all my minis in the space that thing takes up!

If I see that coming I will surely get out of the way.
