I am selling this Fiero due to knee surgery. It's difficult for me to get in and out of it now. Otherwise, I would keep it! I do "NOT" know the true mileage of this Fiero. I bought it used and it came with two other instrument clusters that I no longer have. The existing cluster was partially removed when I bought the car. I do "NOT" know if the cluster has been swapped, although I suspect it has. The mileage that I listed is the approximate number that is on the current installed cluster. Again, I do "NOT" know the true mileage of this Fiero! The interior of this Fiero is in beautiful condition! Even the driver's seat and carpet are in beautiful condition! The edges of the console is "NOT" curled up!!! There is a new roof liner installed also. But it needs a little attention around the corners of the sun roof as seen in the pictures. There is a crack on top of the dash behind the instrument cluster briefly visible in the video. The engine sub frame or cradle appears to be a "NEW" replacement! The only rust I see is the "former" battery tray which was removed before I bought this Fiero. This rust is visible in one of the videos. It's really only the edge remnants of the old battery tray. This Fiero does "NOT" include the Yellow Top battery seen in some of the videos of this car! It does include a good standard battery that you see in the pictures. I bought this Fiero with the engine swap already done by a previous owner. I was told that the engine was leaking coolant. From the condition of the freeze plugs, I assumed they were the source of the leaks. While replacing them, I discovered the cracked block. The cracks are typical of what happens when there water freezes in the cooling system without anti freeze. This was after I installed a new radiator and heater core. I do "NOT" remember if the radiator is a 3 or 4 core. This radiator is the one that is highly recommended for this V8 swap into a Fiero. I have "NEVER" installed any coolant in the cooling system due to the cracked block. The engine does start and run! But I have "NEVER" driven it other than very briefly in my yard. It is powerful in this small car! If you look at the Youtube video of the under carriage of this Fiero, the cracks are the thin rusty stains near the top of the block. The 4 speed M17 Muncie manual transmission shifts very smoothly! There is a "NEW" clutch slave cylinder and "NEW" clutch master cylinder installed. The clutch fluid has been flushed with new fluid installed. There is an electric fuel pump and filter mounted "outside" of the fuel tank. NEW fuel lines have been installed. The exhaust is two "Glass Packs". They are very loud!!! I have been told by some big rig mechanics that I could probably fix the coolant leak with products like "Blue Devil Cracked Block Sealer" and so forth. They claim to use this product on cracked blocks in big rigs and Cats with great success!!! I have considered using this product. That's why I have not put coolant in the engine.
Here is a YouTube video made 11/18/13 of the engine starting and running. The carb does "NOT" have a choke. So I have to pump the gas pedal to start it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUPYlV6TTc0 Here is a YouTube video made 10/27/13 of the inside and outside of the Fiero. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye4Lk67Ifcg Here is a YouTube video made 11/20/13 of the under carriage of this Fiero. I was laying on my back on an overcast, gloomy, rainy day. So not the best video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhi9cRSHSWw The hard To Find "Wind Deflector" for use when sunroof is removed, is included! The 4 matching tires have at least 90% tread remaining as can be seen in the pictures.
There is well over $4000 in extras put into this Fiero! That does "NOT" include the 350 V8 engine, the price of the car itself, or any taxes, shipping, or labor to do the swap!!! Here's some of the main added extras! -"New" Edelbrock Intake Manifold -"New" Edelbrock Carb -"New" Accel HEI Distributer -"New" Radiator (has NEVER had a drop of fluid in it yet!) -"New" Sport Comp Tachometer -"New" Complete Exterior Body Molding Set (Original is still on car) -"New" Sail Windows -"New" Roof Liner Materials -"New" Trunk Lid Scoop -"New" Upper & Lower Radiator Hoses (has NEVER has a drop of fluid in it yet!) -"New" Heater Core (has NEVER had a drop of fluid in it yet!) -"New" Clutch Master Cylinder -"New" Clutch Slave Cylinder -"New" Clutch/Brake Pedal Covers -"New" Sub Woofer Speaker And Sound Deadening Material -"New" Speakers -"New" Parking Brake Cable (not installed) -"New" Oil Pressure/Water Temp Gauge Set -"Genuine" Pontiac Fiero Shop Service Manual I also have some used items such as headlights and other small items that go with this Fiero.
This Fiero came with the desirable factory installed "sub woofer" system. I replaced the "missing" factory sub woofer with a highly recommended after market sub woofer designed to closely fit into the existing housing. I also installed the fiber fill cushioning into the sub woofer housing as recommended in many Fiero forums. This Fiero has minor cosmetic issues as would be expected of a vehicle this age. But nothing significant. I have attempted to be as detailed in my description as possible. If you have any specific questions, please do not hesitate to ask them! There are "NO" dumb questions!
If you plan to do a V8 swap into a Fiero, then this car will save you a ton of money and work! The hard work has already been done! You either use a liquid block sealer or short block it! All of the actual conversion work has been done!!!
My reserve price is very reasonable for this car. I "WILL" Consider A Possible Trade Arrangement For Or Towards A Corvette. But "NO" junk or extreme high mileage Vettes! I am willing to add a small amount of cash if needed. I will "NOT" consider anything with a rusted or damaged frame or rusted bird cage area. Or anything that requires major mechanical work. Cosmetic and body work problems are ok. If in doubt, do not hesitate to ask me. I prefer C3 Vettes and late model C4. And of course C5 Vettes if cheap enough!
My Fiero will have to be trailered to your location, at your expense. I do not recommend driving it do to the cracked block
I have this vehicle listed locally and I reserve the right to remove this listing at any time.
The winning bidder is required to leave a $1000 deposit through PayPal within 48 hours after the end of this auction . Once you leave the $1000 deposit, I am very willing to store this Fiero up to 30 days, in my driveway, if that will help you. However, I will "NOT" assume any responsibility for the vehicle if you choose this option.
Feel free to ask questions. I will answer them as soon as I can...usually within 12 hours.
I do have a "Clean and Clear" North Carolina title in my possession.
Happy Bidding and Happy Thanksgiving!!! |

This GTO-El Camino mashup is the muscle truck of our dreams
Fri, Aug 31 2018There were a hell of a lot of great muscle cars in the mid-1960s, from the baroque Dodges and Plymouths of the earlier part of the decade to the wild big boys like the Boss 429 and Olds 442 W30. Right in the middle of the decade, two of the most iconic of the bunch emerged — the Pontiac GTO and second-generation Chevy El Camino. And this one is a 1964 Chevy El Camino with the heart and face of its GTO cousin, and dubbed the El Chieftain GTO. It's currently for sale at RM Sotheby's Auburn auction, with no reserve status or estimate listed. This looks like a product that Pontiac could have sold at the time — its builder, Ron Lindeman, did an excellent job making it look like a factory product, right down to the taillight strakes inspired by the GTO. It's powered by a 389 — a Pontiac motor that was actually found in period GTOs, but sporting a single four-barrel instead of the sexy Tri-Power setup. It is, however, equipped with a Hurst four-speed manual and the grille badge to prove it to bystanders. Even the interior is made up to look like a GTO. We wish there was more of a description of the build in the listing, but if you love it, do us one better and buy the thing and invite us to poke around it. We are very much in love with this muscle-truck mashup.

Junkyard Gem: 2010 Pontiac Vibe
Wed, Apr 17 2024Just over a month before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2009, General Motors announced that the 83-year-old Pontiac Division would be "phased out" by the end of 2010. Only three Pontiac vehicles were sold as 2010 models in the United States: the Solstice, Vibe and G6 (new G3s were sold here during 2010 but they were all 2009 models, while the G5 was available as a 2010 model only in Canada and Mexico). Today's bit of junkyard automotive history is one of the very last Vibes ever built, found in a yard near Denver, Colorado. This car is significant not just as one of the final vehicles to bear Pontiac badges but also as one of the last cars built by the New United Motor Manufacturing Incorporated GM-Toyota joint venture in California, better known as NUMMI. The NUMMI factory began life as GM's Fremont Assembly, which built its first vehicle (a C-Series pickup) in 1963 and closed in 1982 after building its final vehicle (an Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera). Rebooted as NUMMI, the first 1985 Chevrolet Nova (an Americanized AE82 Toyota Corolla Sprinter) rolled off the line in December of 1984. A quarter-century and better than eight million vehicles hence, NUMMI shut down production after its last Corolla was finished on April 1, 2010. While there was some noise about the Oakland Athletics building a new stadium on the site at the time, Tesla ended up buying most of the site soon after that. Tesla now builds more vehicles per year there than NUMMI ever did. The Vibe was co-developed with Toyota and based on the same platform as the ninth-generation Corolla. The Toyota Matrix was mechanically identical and was built in Canada, while the Japanese-market version (known as the Toyota Voltz) was built on the same NUMMI line as the Vibe and shipped across the Pacific. The Vibe/Matrix/Voltz got a redesign for the 2009 model year, but few noticed due to all the turmoil in the GM world at the time. The final Vibe was built in August 2009. This car was built in July of 2009, just before the end. It was living in West Texas just prior to coming to Colorado. El Paso is about a ten-hour drive from this car's current location. Once in the Centennial State, it got parked somewhere it shouldn't have been and ended up being auctioned to Pick Your Part. An occupant of this Vibe had time to sample some of the local agricultural products before that happened.
