1986 Pontiac Fiero Gt With Chevy 350 V8 And M17 Muncie 4 Speed Tranny Installed! on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, North Carolina, United States
|
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!!! |

In the early '60s, Baby Boomers born immediately after World War II were beginning to buy cars and enjoy their own distinctive music. This wasn't yet the drug culture; rather, it was the drag culture, more Jan and Dean "Dead Man's Curve" than Beatles "Lucy In The Sky." And a Baby Boomer's desired ride, more often than not, was Pontiac's GTO. Introduced as a manned-up option for Pontiac's compact Tempest, the early GTO was 389 cubic inches of romp and stomp. And with a marketing campaign that hit Middle America via what it watched and ate (TV ads and cereal-box promos were a big part of the GTO launch), there was no escaping it. Like most performance coupes and convertibles, 10 years later it was became an emasculated version of its once lusty self. And then it was gone. Its revival, championed by General Motors executive Bob Lutz, was not by any stretch the Second Coming. Starting in 2004, GM modified its Australian-built Holden Monaro to approximate the excitement of the original formula: a coupe body propelled by a big V8. But the Holden's sheetmetal was quietly styled, and even the 400 horsepower available by 2006 didn't electrify buyers. With hindsight, the resurrected GTO is enjoying more attention and, slowly but surely, increasing in value. This for-sale example shows well, enjoys low mileage, and is – naturally – priced well above what is perceived to be its market value. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

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.
Baseball team to dress like Trans Am, complete with screaming chicken
Fri, Feb 8 2019Come to think of it, the Screaming Chicken actually sounds like the name of a minor league baseball team. Well, it isn't, but the famous logo of the same name that graced the hood of the 1970s Pontiac Trans Am will at least be making it to a baseball uniform this summer. The Lansing Lugnuts, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will be rocking these special uniforms to honor the late Burt Reynolds and his film Smokey and the Bandit. By default, it will also be honoring the car the movie made famous: the 1977 Trans Am painted black with gold trim and, of course, the screaming chicken on the hood. This is a pretty good history of the emblem. So why the Lugnuts and Burt Reynolds? Although he claimed to be born in Georgia for much of his career, he admitted in a 2015 autobiography that he was in fact born in Lansing, Mich. After a few years, his family settled in Florida. Not exactly hometown hero stuff, but minor league baseball promotions have been made of more tenuous connections. The Burt Reynolds tribute night will be July 20, and if you want to get a screaming chicken jersey for yourself (I mean, wouldn't they be perfect for a cars and coffee?), the game-used jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game.
