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

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Pontiac Sunbird convertible, with extremely rad W25 Appearance Package

Sun, Dec 22 2019

Radwood has sparked a revival in the appreciation of goofy 1980s and 1980s automotive fashions, from neon-colored tape stripes to excessive TURBO badging to ads featuring horrifying Nagel-style women with radio faceplates instead of eyes. I see a lot of discarded cars that would have been ideal to bring to Radwood, and today's Junkyard Gem is even radder than, say, a purple Mercury Tracer Trio or a teal Chevy Beretta GT or even the elusive Dodge Daytona IROC R/T (yes, there were IROC Daytonas): a genuine Pontiac Sunbird SE convertible with the W25 Appearance Package and Bright White Star wheels. The W25 package got you a white Sunbird with kicky script badging, white wheels, and — if you opted for the optional 3.1-liter V6 — these candy-cane-influenced red-and-white displacement badges on the fenders. Now this is rad! The white interior got dirty fast, especially if the owner left the convertible top down, and these wheels were tough to keep clean for more than a few hours. This one appears to have spent many years sitting abandoned with the top down, judging by the completely trashed interior. The base engine for 1992 was the good old Cavalier four-banger, complete with 111 horsepower. This 3.1-liter engine made a respectable-for-1992 140 horses, for plenty of torque-steery, tire-squealy fun. As a J-Body car, the Sunbird was a sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier in 1992 (the J-based Cadillac Cimarron, Oldsmobile Firenza, and Buick Skyhawk departed before the end of the 1980s). Starting in 1994, the Pontiac Sunfire replaced the Sunbird, continuing in production all the way through the demise of the J platform in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.
