This car was a project of mine for a while, but times have changed and I need to find it a good home. I have replaced\rebuilt many things on this car. In the front, the headlight motors have been rebuilt and the radiator has been replaced. In the rear, just about everything in the engine compartment is either new or rebuilt. A professionally rebuilt 3.4L V6 (from a 1995 Camaro) was professionally installed. This included new or rebuilt alternator, starter, AC compressor, water pump and fuel injectors. The Transmission was also professionally rebuilt complete with new detent cable from Rodney Dickman. Other 3.4 Conversion parts, like the oil filter adapter and idler pulley were also purchased new from Rodney Dickman. (For those new to the Fiero, Rodney Dickman is a well known supplier of quality Fiero conversion parts. The battery is also new. The "Fiero" branded intake plenum and valve covers have been re-powder coated red in order to preserve the original look of the engine. There have been many other small upgrades, such as upgrading the vacuum lines to stainless steel.

Inside, the seats show less than expected wear and tear. The plastic areas of the dashboard have some signs of warping, but little to no cracking. I have installed an after-market Sony media center stereo with an iPod dock, Bluetooth phone\mp3 connection, and Sirius Satellite radio. There is no cassette or CD player, as there is a tray to store your iPod\phone. The interior door panels and passenger-side dashboard trim are in great shape.

 

Outside, there is some paint chipping around the sunroof, but there are no leaks. For those not familiar with the Fiero, it may look like rust, but it is just paint chipped away over the fiberglass. The looks like it was in a minor accident in the passenger-side rear bumper. This occurred before I purchased it in 2008. The rear fascia has the most damage, with some very slight cracking in the passenger-side rear tail-light cover. The reflector that is missing from the rear bumper is included with the car.

The AC system is intact and functioning , but it is not charged and has not been converted from R-12.

The tires\wheels are in great shape. The rear calipers have been replaced. The front calipers have some issues and need to be replaced.

All in all, this is a fun car to drive. The bigger 3.4L engine gives this car some real spunk compared to the stock 2.8L.

Buyer must arrange for local pickup and\or transportation

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven

Wed, Feb 8 2023

POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods.  However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows.  Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS.  Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence.  Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino  with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:

Saturn Vue ignition switch leads to new group of GM recalls totaling 312k

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.
The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.
Next is 72,826 models worldwide (48,059 vehicles in the US) of the 2013 Cadillac ATS four-door sedan, 2013 Buick Encore and 2013 Chevy Trax in Canada. It's possible that the for lap belt pretensioner to retract but not to lock, which could increase occupant movement during a crash. Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.
