This car is an outstanding example of a low mileage 1988 Fiero GT survivor. There are very few left on the road in this condition. It still turns heads and draws attention when driven because it looks like a brand new car; not a 26 year old sports car. Its mid-engine layout and redesigned Lotus-inspired factory suspension make it the most collectible Fiero model. This one is Barrett-Jackson auction quality. That is reflected in the asking price. Classic car dealers are asking $13,500 to $14,500 for similar models. I sold my last Fiero GT to a classic car dealer who took it in on trade for a Corvette. This Fiero GT does NOT have the 5 speed manual transmission, the optional rear window defogger, the optional sunroof or the aftermarket T-Top option. The car has a clear California title, but has never been registered or smog-tested here in California. It has been stored in a garage the entire time I've owned it. It has 37,081 original miles. NO REPORTED ACCIDENTS OR DAMAGE - NO TITLE ISSUES - NO ODOMETER ROLLBACK ONLY
4,244 STATE DMV-VERIFIED MILES HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN 4 YEARS SINCE 2010
The Good: The previous owner was a Mustang collector who sold it because he said it was too different from the classic Fords he was accustomed to working on. The car was driven back to Ohio and then transported to the Los Angeles area by flatbed. The only aftermarket equipment is the newer Kuhmo brand radial tires. It is is as close to an original condition survivor that I’ve ever seen. . * The car has a brand new distributor alternator installed by a Midas dealer, a new K&N air filter, newer Kuhmo tires in the correct factory sizes, new CA-compliant lockable gas cap, newer Napa battery, new custom Lloyd cloth floor mats with the Fiero logo, and a new light duty indoor GT car cover. The tan car cover is still in the plastic bag and has the ‘eyeholes’ needed for cable tie down. This car has been stored in a garage ever since I’ve owned it and the previous owner had commercial grade lifts in his garage to store up to six cars indoors. * The car has stunning Burgundy dark red original exterior paint that is in outstanding condition. The paint is extremely shiny and nearly perfect with absolutely no fading or clear coat damage. There are a few very minor scratches on the bumper. It is the best quality original paint I’ve seen on a used Pontiac Fiero GT. * The car has the original 2.8L V6 engine that runs well. The engine has good performance, but could benefit from a tune-up. The optional 3-speed automatic shifts smoothly and quietly every time. This car drives and handles very well. The buyer will not be disappointed in its performance even though it does not have a V8 engine swap. * The car has the factory tinted glass all around in outstanding condition. It also has the original Pontiac “GT” plastic rear sail panels in outstanding condition. There are no cracks, spiderwebs, or fading. It has the original factory tinted LOF windshield that had a small stone chip on the passenger side that was professionally repaired. There are no cracks, large chips, or delaminating on the glass. There are no cracks, spiderwebs, or delaminating on the plastic tail lamp covers either. 1. The pop-up headlights had rebuilt motors when I bought this car. They go up and down randomly so I’m sure both headlight motors need to be replaced with brand new motors. I’m in the process of doing that myself since replacing those motors can cost up to $400 each at a GM dealer. 2. The interior is almost flawless. This is a non-smoking vehicle and smells like new. The car has the light grey interior. The cloth bucket seats look almost new with no cuts, tears, or stains. The cloth headliner is perfect with no cuts, stains, or drooping. It also has the original grey factory-style tweed carpeting in outstanding condition, the original tweed factory floor mats, custom spare tire cover, and two brand new custom cloth Lloyd floor mats with the Fiero logo. The original 1988 Pontiac Fiero owner’s manual is included along with a mechanics tool kit. There are two complete sets of GM keys; one is the original. 3. All gages work as they should including the odometer and oil pressure gage. The gas gage has shifted slightly to the right (as usual) but otherwise works fine. All of the power options also work fine, but the power windows are a little slow due to age. The cruise control was working fine when I bought the car. The A/C works fine but needs to be recharged. 4. The car has the Pontiac black aluminum honeycomb wheels that were so popular in the 1980s rather than custom wheels that reduce its value to a collector. All four wheels are in excellent condition with no curb rash on the chrome rims. All four tires are in excellent condition in the correct 15" factory sizes. Maintenance work done by previous owner:
This Fiero GT has
always been properly maintained and garaged year round with no exposure to
winter or poor weather. The underside is also super clean and rust free. All
routine and preventative maintenance has been performed including: A/C system
serviced and updated with new compressor and condenser, new heater core, coolant
system flushed and refilled with new coolant, new fuel filter, new accessory
belts, new oxygen sensor, transmission fluid changed and filter replaced, and new
A/C Delco spark plugs and wires.
The Not-So-Good: 1. The original factory paint is in fantastic condition for its age, but there are a couple of stone chips in the lower front fascia. The front plastic license plate bracket is missing. There is a one half inch long scratch on the rear bumper cover and a very faint scratch on the rear wing that I think could be buffed out. 2. The car has Kuhmo radial tires in great condition that have approximately 3,000 miles on them that are as close to factory specs as possible, but they are not brand new. They are several years old and were installed by the previous owner before I bought this car, so there is no tire warranty. 3. The car has the factory installed catalytic converter, but it was not originally a California car. I have never had this car smog tested so I’m not sure it would pass California’s extremely strict smog test requirements, even though it is visually in good condition. 4. I do not have the maintenance records for any of the mechanical work done by previous owners. The maintenance data comes from the historical eBay listing by the previous owner. I do have all maintenance records since I've owned it. |

'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Safari Station Wagon
Tue, Aug 9 2016During the 1960s and 1970s, station wagons based on full-sized Detroit sedans were the default family haulers, and many of those Kingswood Estates and Country Squires and Ambassadors came with unapologetically phony woodgrain-printed exterior paneling and trim. By the late 1980s, however, few were snapping up such wagons, making this '87 Safari that I spotted in a Denver yard an interesting find. Power for this wagon came from a 307-cubic-inch Oldsmobile V8 making 140 horsepower. General Motors used this engine in Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Chevrolets, Pontiacs, and Cadillacs, finally discontinuing production for the 1990 model year. Was the "wood" convincing, even when new? Of course not, but it was a cherished American tradition. Related Video: Featured Gallery 1987 Pontiac Safari station wagon in Colorado junkyard View 18 Photos Auto News Pontiac station wagon
Burt Reynolds’ former 1978 ‘Smokey’ Pontiac Trans Am in big auction by feds
Mon, Oct 21 2019A 1978 Pontiac Trans Am once owned by Burt Reynolds as a memento of the car he drove in the film “Smokey and the Bandit” will be among nearly 150 muscle cars and luxury vehicles seized from the alleged perpetrators of an $800 million investment scheme that will hit the auction block this weekend in California. ItÂ’s said to be the largest single-owner car collection ever auctioned by the U.S. Marshals, seized late last year from Jeff and Paulette Carpoff, the founders of the now-defunct mobile solar generators company DC Solar. Two employees of the San Francisco Bay Area solar energy company, certified public accountant Ronald Roach, 53, and general contractor Joseph Bayliss, 44, both of the Bay Area. pleaded guilty Tuesday to participating in what federal prosecutors say was a massive scheme that defrauded investors of $1 billion. Both men agreed to cooperate in the ongoing investigation. While the Carpoffs, the company's owners, have not been charged, they agreed to let the government auction their collection of 150 classic, performance and luxury vehicles, including the 1978 Pontiac Trans Am once owned by Burt Reynolds. The replica of the car the late actor drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and the other vehicles are to be auctioned Saturday, with online bidding already pushing the accumulated value past $5.5 million. Bidding on that Trans Am alone had topped $65,000 by late Tuesday. The auction company said it had been driven less than 3,400 miles. It's the largest single-owner car collection ever auctioned by the U.S. Marshals Service. Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Lasha Boyden of the Sacramento office called it "a stunning collection of vehicles" that also includes 1990s Humvees, 1960s-era Ford Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros from several decades, plus older cars including a 1939 Buick Roadmaster, a 1951 Chevy Thriftmaster 3100 pickup truck and a 1941 Plymouth Special Delux with wooden doors and trim. “It is rare for the U.S. Marshals to hold an auction of such a stunning collection of vehicles,” Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Lasha Boyden in Sacramento said in a statement. ReynoldsÂ’ former Trans Am is a hardtop memento of the version he drove in the 1977 action comedy. It bears Bandit Run logos in the rear window and upper windshield and appears to have modified suspension components and bucket seats. It comes with a Florida registration with ReynoldsÂ’ name on it, and an autograph on the glove box that reads, “Be Safe!
