1986 Pontiac Fiero Gt with a 350 V8 Conversion. One bid buys it.
The conversion was completed by the person I purchased the vehicle from. He used the kit from V8 archie. I have owned the car for 5 years. I was told the engine was a rebuilt 350 from a 1990 Camaro. He also added a shift kit to the transmission. There is nothing custom to the engine accept for a K&N air filter. He also replaced the rubber bushings with poly bushings and added a sway bar. The A/C and cruise were both removed for the install and never put back in. I have a box of parts that go with the car and might contain the parts needed to install the A/C and cruise control.
Since I have owned the car I have had the injectors replaced with larger injectors, the transmission lines were replaced, the radiator was replaced, added a Rodney Dickman trunk support, and replaced the TPS sensor. The doors rattled over bumps so I replaced the door strikers and that solved the problem. I had the tachometer calibrated for the V8
The lights go up and down no problem, all the gauges work, the sunroof doesn't leak and the headliner doesn't sag. The seats are in great shape accept for a coffee stain on the passenger side. The dash is not cracked and the carpet looks new. The power windows work but go up and down slow. The power locks work but sometimes it takes a couple of tries.
The paint is original and looks ok but it could use a respray or color change. There are a couple of chips on the hood from when I was putting it back on after removing the radiator. Recently the car began surging and running rich when started but comes out of it after a few minutes. I am not getting an engine code but do not have the time to chase the problem.
I am selling the car because I am a new Dad and just don't have the time or money to enjoy the car. I have put about 100 miles on it in the last two years. It is time to let someone else enjoy it. I do not have the title but I will get a new one if the winning bidder requires it. Also, Maine doesn't have emission control requirements so I couldn't say if it would pass or not. The car is inspected, insured and drives if you are close enough to come look at it.
I have tried to explain the car as best as I can. As with any car that is 30 years old there may have been things I have missed so ask questions and I will answer them. I can also get additional pictures and video of the car running if you like.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
Tue, Jun 19 2018For General Motors, the W platform just kept giving and giving and giving for decade after decade, serving as the basis of Buick Regals, Oldsmobile Intrigues, Chevrolet Monte Carlos, and many, many more models. The final and most powerful Pontiac W-Body, the sixth-generation Grand Prix GTP, rolled off assembly lines for the 1997 through 2003 model years. Here's one in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. GM bolted the supercharged 3800 V6 into vast numbers of cars during this era, providing a deep reservoir of cheap blowers for unwise high-boost projects. 240 front-tire-charring horses, complete with a Roots-type blower scream from the Eaton supercharger under the hood. I see plenty of blown 3800s during my junkyard travels, from the Bonneville SSEi to the Oldsmobile LSS. Depressingly, GM stopped putting manual transmissions in the Grand Prix during the 1993 model year, so '01 GTP owners had to take the four-speed slushbox. This one came close to the magic 200,000-mile mark, but fell 25,000 short. The interior took a beating during its life, ending its time on the road with shredded upholstery and dirty panels. Seven-band graphic equalizers were all the rage during the 1980s, but GM kept the tradition alive into our current century. This content is hosted by a third party.

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition
Tue, Aug 29 2017The W Platform proved to be extremely long-lived and versatile for General Motors, remaining in production from 1988 all the way through 2016. You had your Impalas and your Regals and your Cutlass Supremes, and of course the 1988-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix was a W-body. For the 2000 model year, Pontiac made the racy-looking Daytona 500 Edition Grand Prix, an example of which I just found in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. 2,000 of these cars were made, presumably because it was the year 2000, and each one sports plenty of cool-looking Daytona 500 graphics. Perhaps some Regal owner will buy these seats and swap them. This is the second junked Daytona 500 Grand Prix I have seen recently, after this one in Colorado. The Daytona 500 was about the same as the GTP version, with Eaton-supercharged 3800 engine making a respectable 240 horsepower. Disappointingly, this car has an automatic transmission. It never saw 150,000 miles, unlike most 21st-century W-bodies I see in wrecking yards. Featured Gallery Junked 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition View 21 Photos Auto News Pontiac Sedan
