I've seen these converted to a sbc 350, that really perks em up.

 

I would love to have it for $35.00 , nuff said!

 

Heck, we're willing to be that the cassette player has never even seen a copy of White Snake's Greatest Hits!

Har, har.

 

Typical of the General Misery to kill a car just after they get it right. Looks like a nice ride. I'd give $7500 for it. $35,000..? HAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

Looked at buying one new in '84, but just couldn't bring myself to closing the deal. No oommpph at all! Another fine example of GM bringing a vehicle to market that is all potential and no substance.

There was an interesting piece on the second generation '89 Fiero in High Performance Pontiac about a year ago. The car would have just started to come into it's own. Good thing they killed it.

We've got a guy that shows up with one with the SBC at our autocross events on occasion. Sharp looking conversion, but man is that thing squirrelly!

 

Aptly named!

They called it "Fiero" for a reason...

 

This is the worst vehicle in the world to work on !! AND I really hope you didn't want to haul luggage or groceries, or a coupla golf bags, because under the hood, there is virtually NO room whatsoever for anything.

 

The best swap I have seen is dropping a stock Northstar in there. Perfectly balanced, high revving small block that doesn't overpower them.

Ogre, that is the 1988 GT they were talking about. It's actually a great car...the one year they made it. The name had already been tarnished by the original POS Fiero.

edit: He is asking double of what I'd be willing to pay for it.

 

This is absolutely hilarious! I would LOVE to see the seller's face after 39 years of it being on the market for $35,000. I bet he'll tell himself that people just don't understand how VALUABLE this car is. LOL!!!

 

Terrible handling (I drove one as a rental when they were new), blocky cheesy interior, insanely long coolant lines, and all the curb appeal of a Honda Civic CRX.

It's definitely a unique (yet sadly no better than many other RWD coupes). I'd give it an all-around grade of C-.

 

hah! I had one when I was a kid. lots of fun. slow as christmas.

 

Slow as Christmas? When I was a kid Christmas couldn't go slow enough!

 

I had one (852M4) when I was 16, loved it! I would buy another (GT) but not for anything near that $.

 

I was thinking of actually getting one and swapping in an LS1 in it in the past. Then I found my 280Z and 300ZX....

 

This is a much better option:

Fieros were always known for their huge option of kit cars. But I have to say that is one good looking kit.

 

I stand corrected on the HPP article. I believe there was something regarding artwork for future badging for upcoming cars.

 

I remember riding in one once. There is PLENTY of room for luggage. When its under your feet, your sitting on one and the other is on your lap. The seat belt is that long!

They are good for making kit car Lamborghini Diablos out of. =]

 

It might bring that kind of money at Barrett-Jackson, but that's even a stretch.
