Alpharetta, Georgia, United States
AWESOME, NEAR FLAWLESS 1988 PONTIAC FIERO GT, 5-SPEED, WITH JUST 29,200 MILES....FUTURE COLLECTIBLE, NICELY EQUIPPED AND WELL DOCUMENTED!!!
Regardless of whether you are an avid Fiero enthusiast, owned a Fiero back in the day, or knew someone who owned one, it is hard to argue that the 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT is going to be one of the iconic Pontiac Collectible cars as years go by. Among other things, the Fiero was the first 2 seater Pontiac since the 1938 coupes. We all know Pontiac “used” to build excitement and there are sure to be many exciting years to come for owners of low mileage, top quality Fiero GT’s. This is now the 10th '88 Fiero GT we have owned and it is truly in amazing condition and has under 29,200 pampered, original miles!! This White, mid-engine, pocket rocket had just 3 owners and lived its entire life in Missouri where it was originally sold at Lou Fusz Motor Company. The gentleman we acquired it from was a true car enthusiast who had a great collection of cars but he realized the time had come to let this awesome Fiero go so that he could get his wife's daily driver back in the garage for the winter. He owned this car for 10 years and he knew both of the previous owners who lived locally. He was a true Fiero Enthusiast and over his 10 years of ownership took this White beauty to many Fiero Shows where it won its share of first place awards. Well, he had his fun and decided he was ready to pass it along to the next lucky owner....maybe you?? There is quite a strong following for Fieros now and you will find many Fiero Clubs all over the country. It is not unusual to see a few Fieros at your local car shows and cruise-ins and this one would fit in anywhere and will probably bring home a few trophies if that is what you enjoy. At the same time, you can jump in this mid-engine sports car and drive the heck out of it while knowing you have one of the future collectibles that surely be going up in value. This Fiero is really in amazing original condition with extremely low miles and a nice group of options. I will do my best to provide enough large images, a video of it start up and running, and an honest description so you can decide if this is the one you have been waiting for. Sit back and enjoy! Hard to believe that this Pontiac Sports Car is 25 years old! Obviously pampered and extremely maintained, the body on this White '88 Fiero GT is really in amazing condition and extremely original with no accidents!! The original vin # stickers are still in place on all of the body panels and the original white paint looks great. As you walk around this Fiero you will be hard pressed to find any rock chips or flaws. Several years ago, the previous owner was bothered by a few rock chips that had accumulated on the ground effects panels below the doors so he had those painted, but otherwise he was quite positive this car still has its original paint. He enjoyed taking this car to the shows and always kept a great coat of high end wax on it and never drove the car in the winter. He is quite positive the previous owners also never took this Fiero out on the roads in the winter so it never saw salt roads and one look underneath the car confirms this. This Fiero was equipped with the factory rear spoiler and sunroof that is removable and has a sunshade that is still in its original case. The wing windows that often times will "check" over time look fantastic and all of the glass looks excellent. The pop up front headlights work flawlessly and were rebuilt by the previous owner. This car has already proven itself by winning first place in several Fiero shows and I am sure the next owner will be extremely pleased by the condition of the body. Here is a walk around photo tour of the body: Complimenting the beautiful white exterior is an awesome Light Camel colored Leather interior. When you slide inside this ultra low mileage Fiero you will truly feel like you are back on the showroom floor in 1988. The car even still has a new car smell inside. The light camel leather seats are in awesome condition with just one minor wear mark on the drivers side seat bolster. It is just a slight discoloration and could easily be dyed if desired. Otherwise I did not see any other signs of wear anywhere inside this sweet little Fiero. The dash looks perfect, center console looks new, steering wheel shows no wear, original floor mats are like new and covered by a very nice set of matching custom Fiero Mats. All of the gauges in the dash appear to be working correctly. The previous owner decided to upgrade the stereo with a factory deluxe stereo unit which you would never know was changed as it fits perfectly. Headliner looks awesome without any of the sagging that is common. Power windows work great and the Air conditioning blows ice cold. As you will see in the pics below the interior looks close to new and is ready for the shows. Have a look:
The Fiero's mid engine layout was chosen as a way to reduce aerodynamic drag and vehicle weight to improve fuel efficiency, and also for its handling, traction and braking benefits. The 1988 model is considered the most desired for many reasons. Numerous changes were made to the '88 Fiero. The most significant was a completely redesigned suspension to realize the full potential of the mid-engine layout. The new suspension included new two-piece brake calipers and upgraded brake rotors. The GT model included the 2.8L V6 motor with 43hp more then the 4 cylinder, upgraded suspension and wider tires. Topping off the package were the new vented disc brakes on all four corners. With just under 29,200 original miles this particular Fiero GT has really just been broken in and truly drives like a new one would have in 1988. The Gertrag manual 5-speed transmission adds to the fun of driving this sports car and it handles like a go kart. Previous owners were all car enthusiasts who maintained this Fiero extremely well. The previous owner just replaced the Eagle GT II tires about 1000 miles ago. Due to the car not being driven that often one of the injectors was clogged so he had all of the fuel injectors rebuilt and put in new spark plugs. He also had the heater core replaced during his ownership. No oil leaks!!! This Fiero truly runs and drives like new and is an absolute blast to drive and handles like it is on rails. The awesome looking factory Gold wheels look brand new with no curb rash. Original dual exhaust sounds awesome. As you will see the engine compartment looks brand new and the front trunk area also looks showroom new and you will see the sunshade stored in its original case. Undercarriage looks amazing and it is obvious this car never saw the winter salted roads as their is no sign of corrosion. We also have great original documentation including the original window sticker, original manuals, and service records. This car retailed for over $16,000 brand new! Take a look at the engine bay and then watch the video so you can hear this car start up and running.

Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds
Tue, Mar 29 2016For some reason, modifying modern Chevrolet Camaros into the lurching, reincarnated shells of the Pontiac brand is still a thing. If you're the perverse sort that likes this kind of thing, you should check out the latest product from the Trans Am Depot, which comes complete with an endorsement from the star of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds. Yes, the new Trans Am SE Bandit Edition has been signed and endorsed by the man himself, but what's important here is not the signature on the dash, it's the bits of Camaro that have been modified. Aesthetically, that means a Bandit-and-Frog-approved set of T-tops, a front-opening hood with a very large, prominent shaker scoop, an equally large and prominent screaming chicken, and Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascias. And naturally, Burt Reynolds' signature adorns the dash. There are plenty of reminders in the cabin about this car's Hollywood inspiration, too. Bandit decals can be found on the front headrests and center console lid, there are chicken wings on the Camaro-spec plastic door inserts, and the black-and-tan color scheme matches nicely with the exterior look. And power? Well, Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have a lot more trouble keeping up with this Trans Am than he did with the original. The 7.4-liter LSX V8 has been paired with a 2.9-liter supercharger which is good for 840 horsepower. It's fast and loud, and even if you can't get behind the look (we can't), at least this Camaro-in-Trans Am's clothing can impress with its performance. The Bandit Edition is limited to just 77 units with prices starting around $115,000. You can check out the official video from Trans Am Depot, which comes with a decent helping of Burt Reynolds, up top. Related Video:
A case for Pontiac's return
Wed, Apr 5 2017Sadly, many brands have disappeared off of the automotive landscape over the decades. Many people have imagined over the years of restarting defunct automotive brands. A few of those dreamers even made prototypes to shop around and to established connections with investors. But, alas poor Yorick, however valiant an effort, many brands are shuttered for good, rarely to be heard of again except in historical tales or maybe seen in car shows. So, what do you do when you win the lottery? Not just any lottery... In fact, it is a lottery that takes care of you and your loved ones for life? You and your family don't have to work, ever. You can give to charity, pay other people to do those projects that you've been putting off, and so on and so on. But, you're still a Car Nut right? There begins the conundrum. Do you buy and fix cars, new premium cars, old muscle cars, or classics, or maybe, just maybe, do you buy the rights to an old departed automotive brand and bring it back to life. Hmm. Which brand? The problem with the old Pontiac was that it was an additional badge engineered vehicle in the portfolio of GM. The meant the brand was diluted by competition from its own parent company, in addition to the competition outside the camp. So, if it were to come back, it would have to be different. Yet, it would still need to keep true to its roots at the same time in order to wake up its armies of existing fans. Even those that aren't fans of Pontiac cannot deny that Pontiac has a long heritage of legendary vehicles. So do Packard, and Studebaker, and others. So, why would a lottery winner choose Pontiac as the marque to bring back? That's easy! Pontiac's long heritage is closely tied to performance vehicles that made many of a teenager drool. Even more important though is that Pontiac is still fresh on people's minds. The brand itself is only recently departed. So, Boomers, Generation X, and Millenials all would all be able to identify with it as opposed to brand names that disappeared multiple decades ago and that now have a more limited appeal. The return of Pontiac couldn't just be another launch of a badge engineered vehicle. It would have to be performance oriented, yes. But, it would have to be unique in some way, a niche brand. What niche though? Look at the automotive landscape now and you see that Tesla is the one out there grabbing at the wide open electric niche with success.
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.
