1988 Pontiac Fiero Gt Coupe With 2.8l V6 Engine In Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
Simi Valley, California, United States
|
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 does not look like 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 local car show quality; not Barrett-Jackson auction quality. That is reflected in the affordable asking price. Classic car dealers are asking as much as $14,000 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. NO ODOMETER ROLLBACK - ONLY 8,550 DMV VERIFIED MILES ARE REPORTED IN 16 YEARS SINCE 1998 The Good: The previous owner had a JEGS-style auto enthusiast business so he upgraded this car with several aftermarket options you will rarely find: * The car has a stunning aftermarket Pioneer graphical color navigation system built into the center instrument cluster (where the original Delco radio and controls were). All of the faceplates on the instrument panel, center instrument cluster, and interior trim were replaced with custom ‘carbon-fiber’ lookalike pieces that make the NAV system look like it had been a factory option. There are no exposed wires; the antenna is built into the windshield frame. The previous owner said it cost him $2,000. I also have the Pioneer user manuals as well as the original Pontiac owner’s manual. It works beautifully and is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen in a Pontiac Fiero. * The car has the ORIGINAL 2.8L V6 engine that was tuned to maximize its performance. The optional 3-speed automatic shifts smoothly and quietly every time. This car drives and handles better than any Fiero GT that I have owned since 1988. The buyer will not be disappointed in its performance even though it does not have a V8 engine swap. * The suspension was upgraded with Corvette components that lowered the front-end about one inch. * The car had very dark-tinted driver side, passenger side, and rear window aftermarket glass when I bought it. It also came with very dark-tinted aftermarket “GT” plastic sail panels from the Fiero store. I replaced the original windshield (due to a ‘bullseye’ in the field of vision) with a brand new American-made Carlite windshield with a (removable) dark-tinted film across the top, since the factory spec LOF version was no longer available. I did not want a cheap Chinese windshield and only the tiny etched graphic is different. Note: although hard to see in the photos, these windows are almost black and look stunning with the black aluminum honeycomb wheels. * The car has a replacement California-legal catalytic converter that cost three times the price of a standard model. It was installed by the previous owner and according to my research should pass California’s extremely strict smog test requirements. However, I have never had this car smog tested even though it passed the DMV’s visual inspection after I bought it. * The car has a new K&N air filter, new CA-compliant lockable gas cap, new battery, and a heavy duty Fiero GT car cover. The tan car cover is slightly dirty but has the ‘eyeholes’ needed for cable tie down. 2. The interior is almost flawless. This is a non-smoking vehicle and smells like new. The car has the rare ‘Beechwood’ interior which was a one year only color. The cloth bucket seats look like new with no cuts, tears, or stains. The cloth headliner is perfect with no cuts, stains, or drooping. The glove box insert was replaced with a new one. It also has new factory-style tweed carpeting from the Fiero Store, the original tweed factory floor mats, and two newer custom cloth Lloyd floor mats with the Fiero logo. 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. 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 very minor curb rash on a single chrome rim (that is covered by a weight). Both wheels and tires are as close to factory specs as possible after 26 years. The Not-So-Good: 1. The car had an older repaint that has some more recent touch-ups. The paint is still very shiny and presentable with no clear coat damage. However, there are some imperfections in the hood that can be seen up close in bright light, the front fascia has virtually no stone chips but was repainted years ago. The plastic license plate bracket is missing. There are a couple of 1/4 inch scratches on the rear sail pillars near the engine compartment vents, and the rear bumper and rear wing were repainted several years ago. Both mirrors were touched up. The paint looks very good from a foot away but is not showroom quality. 2. The car has Goodyear Eagle HP tires in great condition that have about 500 miles on them that are as close to factory specs as possible now, but they are not brand new. They are several years old and were installed by the previous owner before I bought the car so there is no tire replacement warranty. 3. The passenger side door latch sticks slightly, but the door opens and closes fine with a little extra effort. The driver side door works just fine. The key sticks in the truck lid lock and needs to be jiggled, but all door and trunk locks work correctly. There are two complete sets of GM keys; one is original. 4. I do not have the maintenance records for any of the mechanical work done by previous owners. |

This massive 'Knight Rider' KITT model costs over $1,400
Tue, May 18 2021A new model of the famed Pontiac Firebird from the 1980s TV show Knight Rider is here, and it's massive. The shadowy flight into the dangerous world of this subscription-based kit by DeAgostini will result in a car that measures nearly two feet long, cost more than $1,400, and take you over two years to complete. For years, subscription-based model kits have been a tradition for hobbyists in Europe and Asia. Should you sign on, each week you'll receive a package in the mail that includes a few parts for the model and some literature on the subject. Usually there are additional collectibles and accessories, like a display case. The DeAgostini KITT kit, for example, begins with the hood for the first issue. The asymmetric bulged and scooped body panel comes with a several smaller body pieces and a small screwdriver. Issue two comes with the front fascia, KITT's red scanner light, and three of the six driving lights. Issue three gives you a tire, wheel and brake components for one of the four corners. And so it goes. When all is said and done, you'll receive 110 such packages over a span of so many weeks. In other words it'll take two years and one-and-a-half months to complete the black, 1:8 scale Pontiac. There are some discounted prices for the first few issues to get you hooked, but once you get settled in the regular price for each issue is ˆ10.99 ($13.36 USD). Here's a preview the 16-page pamphlet that accompanies the first issue. By the end, you should have a pretty comprehensive compendium of the Knight Rider series as well. The issues are available on newsstands, but subscribers get additional gifts — two 1:43 scale models, one of KITT and one of his nemesis KARR. And for an additional ˆ1.00 per issue, you'll receive an acrylic display case. As for the Knight Industries Two Thousand itself, the car appears to be incredibly detailed. As depicted on the DeAgostini website, the hood, doors, trunk and T-top roof panels all open. The red scanner lights up, the rear license plate rotates for three options, and there even seems to be a watch that commands the model to speak some of KITT's catch phrases. Knight Rider — or Supercar as it was called in Italy — told the episodic story of a former police officer, Michael Knight, who fought crime with his A.I.-powered car. As such, the TV car and the the model have a heavily computerized (by 1980s standards) dashboard and yoke steering wheel.

Today, well, to be honest, it is more of the same, but in the case of this tastefully done 1969 Pontiac GTO, we don’t even care if you head over to the sweepstakes page to enter, just do it for the photos. ThatÂ’s right. As a self-described automotive photography snob myself, I have to say that the photos of this GTO are far and away the best IÂ’ve ever seen on Omaze. And while youÂ’re over there, might as well enter the drawing. Who doesnÂ’t want that lean, green, muscle machine in their driveway? IÂ’m more of a fastback Mustang guy, and even I was drooling over that GTO. Win a Restored 1969 Pontiac GTO - Enter at Omaze Here are the specs of the restored 1969 Pontiac GTO in question, according to Omaze: Maximum Seating: 5 Engine: 461 ci fuel-injected V8 Transmission: Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual Drivetrain: RWD Exterior Color: Verdero Green Interior Color: Black Maximum Horsepower: 575 hp Maximum Torque: 620 lb-ft Approximate Retail Value: $100,000 Cash Alt: $75,000 Special Features: Butler Performance-built EFI 461, Fast EFI v2.1, 3.73 Gears with Eaton Posi Traction, Wilwood 6-piston brakes with hydroboost, Ridetech Coilovers and muscle bars, Chassis Works billet drop spindles, staggered 18” Budnik billet wheels, Budnik steering wheel IÂ’m not the only one on the Autoblog staff who thinks this restoration is worthy of a little praise. News Editor Joel Stocksdale picked it above all the other current Omaze offerings for our holiday staff picks post. HereÂ’s what he had to say: “There are an awful lot of ways to build a restomod. And a lot of those ways can be boring or tasteless. This one is neither. This is a seriously classy Pontiac GTO. Under the hood is a 461 cu. in. V8 from Butler Performance that's based on an actual Pontiac V8, not just another Chevy engine. The whole thing is subtle with a low-key metallic green and clean gray wheels. There isn't any overly flashy chrome or decals. And the interior is the same with just an upgraded steering wheel, shifter and pedals in an otherwise stock cabin. Oh, and it has a manual.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
