Selling my 1986 Fiero. The description says its a GT, I tried to change it but it wouldn't change. A previous owner repaneled the car to look like a GT. From what i have been able to piece together about the car before I owned it, it actually started out as a notchback and was converted to a fastback. I have owned it for about two years, and I have driven it during the spring and summer for most of that time. The car is in pretty good shape, the under body has little to no rust on it. I have not had it on salty roads since I owned it, I cannot vouch for previous owners. I bought this car from a guy in Ohio, and there was some issue with the mileage, where a previous owner did not write it down right on the title when transferring and then it got all screwed up. So honestly I am not entirely sure if the mileage is truly low or not. However the quality and shape of the car leads me to believe that the mileage could be relatively accurate. Also I had intended to do an engine swap so I really did not care if the mileage was accurate, I just wanted a good example of a Fiero fastback to drop a large engine into.
The car is completely stock from when I bought it, still has the Ironduke from when I bought it. I had to replace the manifold cover and do some other repairs when I bought the car because it had the classic leaking oil issue which was a major problem with the early Fiero's. The car features an aftermarket CD player however other than that, it is pretty stock. It has all original speakers and the headrest speakers as well. The electric mirrors and windows still work. I was having some issues with the mirrors with the center panel piece but replacing it would not be a huge process. The interior is pretty clean, I bought seat covers to give the interior a bit of an updated look, the original seats are actually in really good shape with no holes or tears. The dash has some bowing and a few cracks, mainly from sun exposure over the years. At present the sunroof leaks, but that is because of the very old seal, I replaced the bolts and seal pieces around the screws but I never got around to buying a new seal for the whole thing. The head liner is beginning to come apart as well. The windows have lite scratch marks due to the awful dew wipes, but that can be cleaned up as well. The car will need new tires at some point and probably brake work some time in the near future. The headlight motor or motors will need to be replaced. In regards to the heat and A/C, I think the real issue with the heat is a bad blower motor, simple as that. The A/C though has a cracked pipe in the line that you can see in the engine bay, I enjoy driving with the windows down so it never really bothered me. The gas gauge does not work, it bobs around a bit. I just kept track of mileage and refilled that way, never had any problems. That can certainly be fixed but is a rather involved process I was not willing to pay for. There really is not anything majorly wrong with the engine, it burns a little oil, which is possibly due to bad seals in the engine, but shy of replacing all of them which I am not capable of doing or willing to pay for at this time, or swapping the engine, again cannot afford to do, its really just whatever. I did start the car a couple days ago and she started like a champ even after all this cold. The car has been in the garage since December, and was not outside for the really cold days. I guess thats really all I have to say about this car, feel free to contact me with any questions. I really need to sell this car, I will be moving in a few months, and I cannot take it with me. The Lien that appears on the check for this vehicle has been satisfied. So that is not an issue. |

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
Steve McQueen barn find: Movie Trans Am surfaces after almost 40 years
Mon, Dec 17 2018An important Steve McQueen film car has emerged from barn storage. No, it's not yet another " Bullitt" Mustang, quite the contrary: The car in question is a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am, and it starred in McQueen's final film, " The Hunter." In the movie, McQueen plays a bounty hunter, and while in " Bullitt" he's quite the wheelman, that's not the case in this one. McQueen's character, "Papa" Thorson, is a horrible driver, and the Trans Am is far too much car for him. A chase sequence sees McQueen driving a combine harvester to catch the perps who are driving his stolen rental Pontiac, and the Trans Am ends up blown in half with dynamite, then returned to the airport on a trailer. The driver of said GMC truck and trailer combination, Harold McQueen (no relation), received the title of the first car used in filming, and for the following decades planned to fix the now-ruined car, but never got around to it. Instead, the 1,300-mile Pontiac wreck sat on a farm for nearly 40 years, until Harold decided to sell it to an enthusiast. There's studio documentation proving the car's pedigree, and stunt modifications can be seen in the Pontiac's floor and dash. While it's obviously in dreadful condition, the car remained more intact than the other stunt car the film crew blew up even more spectacularly — that car ended up as the pile of parts in the airport scene, and those bits and pieces were eventually dropped off at a junkyard after a Pontiac dealer refused them. McQueen did also drive a 1951 Chevrolet in the film, and kept that yellow convertible after filming was wrapped up. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer just a month later, after reportedly being in poor health during the shooting, and passed away in December 1980. The yellow Chevy stayed with his estate for some years, later getting restored and auctioned. Right now, it's not clear what the Trans Am's fate will be. The car's current owner, Calvin Riggs from Carlyle Motors in Katy, Texas, wants to know more about the Trans Am and the film shoot: His post on Hemmings includes a lot of information, but more would be useful.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.
