Which car should I get? Syclone or Fiero?
Ok, I have a slight predicament. I am looking at three cars, all AROUND the same price. I am looking at: a 1991 GMC Syclone with around 82,000 miles. No custom work, and it runs and looks good;
A 1986 Pontiac Fiero GT with 69,000 miles on the chassis and <10,000 on the engine from a Grand Prix GTP with around 350HP. The car looks fantastic, it has no rust or any problems, and looks completely stock besides the supercharged 3.8L
And lastly a 1988 Fiero GT with 184,000 on the chassis and a brand new crate engine from AC Del-co. This Fiero is by far the best looking, no rust, a stage three clutch, a custom body kit, lowered, with custom rims, and clean paint. This car looks the best but has the most overall miles. It is also the cheapest. undercutting the other Fiero by $1,200 and the GMC by $2,000

Are you a pickup person or a sports car person? The car has to fit your personality.
Ignore the nonsense about reliability being better in the stock truck. It has 82K miles on the engine. The other engines are almost new.
When you say "no rust" on the Fieros, are you talking about the body or chassis? The body is plastic and cannot rust but the chassis is what you should be looking at. The miles on the chassis really only depend on how well the cars were maintained, which is probably quite good if they were modified.
I'm curious about what crate engine that car has. Another 3800 or a small block? Both have good reputations but the small block has a major cool factor.
The lowered car will catch a lot of looks but you say a "custom body kit". A lot depends on your opinion of the looks of the kit and how well it was done.

If the Syclone has no custom work, it's probably more reliable. A friend had one and it rocked. Then he got drunk and tolled it end over end and took out a dozen mailboxes. Don't drive like my friend.
