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!!! |

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Pontiac Sunbird Sedan
Sun, Jun 28 2020The J-Body platform was a giant seller for GM, staying in production from the first 1981 Chevrolet Cavalier all the way through that final 2005 Pontiac Sunfire. Outside of North America, Opels and Daewoos and Isuzus and Holdens and Vauxhalls and even Toyotas flew the J flag, and better than ten million rolled out of showrooms during that quarter-century. In the United States, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Buick, and Cadillac each sold J-Bodies. Of those, the Pontiac Sunbird often had the sportiest image, more cavalier than even the Cavalier Z24. I've documented a discarded Sunbird Turbo in the past, and now here's a bread-and-butter Sunbird sedan from the same era. The Sunbird name began its life in 1976 on the Pontiac-badged version of the rear-wheel-drive Buick Skyhawk, itself based on the Chevy Vega. The first J-Body Pontiacs had J2000 badges, then 2000 badges, then 2000 Sunbird badges, until finally the pure non-2000 Sunbird appeared for the 1985 model year. I remain disappointed that the 2000 name didn't survive into our current century, because we could have had a 2000 Pontiac 2000, or just the "2000 2000" for short. The base engine in the '86 Sunbird was this SOHC 1.8-liter four of Brazilian origin, rated at 84 horsepower. Originally developed by Opel in the late 1970s, this engine family went into cars built all across the sprawling GM empire. 84 horsepower doesn't sound like much— and it wasn't much, even by 1986 standards— but at least the original buyer of this car had the smarts to get the five-speed manual transmission. This car weighed just 2,336 pounds, a good 500 pounds lighter than the current Chevy Sonic, so performance with the manual transmission was tolerable. The '86 Sunbird's interior was much nicer than those in its Cavalier siblings, though nowhere near the Cadillac Cimarron's reading on the Plush-O-Meter. An AM/FM/cassette stereo with auto reverse was serious audio hardware in a cheap car during the middle 1980s, when even a scratchy factory AM-only radio cost the equivalent of several hundred 2020 bucks. The price tag of this car started at $7,495, or about $17,500 in 2020 dollars. The cheapest possible Cavalier sedan went for $6,888 in 1986, but a zero-option base '86 Cavalier would make you think you'd been transported to the Soviet Union every time you slunk into its harsh confines.

Build your dream garage with this insane prize from Omaze
Wed, Jan 19 2022Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability is subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. Normally when we write about Omaze sweepstakes, they involve a car that you'd never go out and buy on your own. A six-figure camper van build, a $300,000 Ford Bronco restoration, a Land Rover Defender that's so beautiful it should be in a museum. Today's prize might beat out all of those, because not only could you win a dream car, you'll be entered for a chance to win $100k cash to go along with it. There are a lot of cars you can buy with $100k. You could buy a Land Cruiser Heritage Edition or a Mustang GT500 or 6 Chevy Sparks and start your own racing series. Personally, if I won that kind of dough, assuming I also won this Bentley Bentayga, my favorite of Omaze's current offerings, I'd probably use some of it to buy something quirky, like a Honda Element converted into a pop-top camper, or a restored/upgraded 60 series Land Cruiser. Think that's a terrible way to spend the cash? That's the beauty of it. It is completely up to you. No one can tell you what to do with it. Except maybe your spouse. Here are our favorite vehicle giveaways we’ve found online this week: 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition - Enter at Omaze Regardless of what you think about Ford using the name Mustang for an electric crossover, one thing is for certain, the Mustang Mach-E GT is an impressive piece of machinery. Here are some numbers for you: 480 horsepower, 634 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and 260 miles of range. Price? Well, thatÂ’s really up to you, because if you enter to win this Mach-E GT. it can be as low as $0. Here are the specs of the Mach-E in question, according to Omaze: Maximum Seating: 5 Engine: fully electric motors Drivetrain: eAWD Exterior Color: Rapid Red Metallic  Interior Color: Black Maximum Horsepower: 480 hp Maximum Torque: 634 lb-ft Acceleration: 0-60 in 3.5 seconds Range: 235 miles Approximate Retail Value: $75,500 Cash Alt: $56,625 Special Features: GT Performance Edition; panoramic fixed-glass roof; Ford Co-Pilot360™ Active 2.0 and 360-degree camera; Brembo brakes; RTR Design Package including 20” RTR Aero 5 wheels, Nitto NT555 G2 tires and RTR Speed Block graphics Win a Restored 1969 Pontiac GTO - Enter at Omaze Joel Stocksdale, News Editor: There are an awful lot of ways to build a restomod.
GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns
Thu, May 15 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings. Read the full announcement from GM below for further details.
