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!!! |

Burt Reynolds' personal 1977 Trans-Am from Smokey And The Bandit for sale
Fri, Dec 5 2014Smokey and the Bandit is one of those quintessential 1970s car movies with insane premises but tons of fun. After all, the basic plot of the film is about distracting the police to transport cases of Coors beer cross country. While Burt Reynolds receives top billing, the real star is definitely his black Pontiac Trans-Am. Now, there's a chance to posses one of these muscle machines actually owned by Reynolds, and it's already proving quite popular. The car is a '77 Trans-Am with the famous, gold screaming chicken proudly on the hood. However, while this is a piece of Reynolds memorabilia, it's not really part of cinematic history. According to the listing, this example was used as a promotional vehicle and then given to Reynolds with a title showing him as a previous owner for proof. Still, there's 400-cubic-inch (6.55-liter) V8 under the hood with a 4-barrel carburetor and an automatic transmission. A plaque inside the driver's door proclaims the car as a "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Owned By Burt Reynolds," and there's a Bandit logo on the door. This is just one lot of Julien Auction's sale of Reynolds memorabilia on December 11 and 12 at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV. Bidding is already running online, and the Trans-Am is up to $130,000, as of this writing. For the true Reynolds fanatic, the auction also lists the motorized stagecoach from his wedding to Loni Anderson. It rides built on an International Harvester Scout frame with an interior reportedly from Dolly Parton.
GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs
Thu, Aug 20 2015General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

Destiny: General Motors should bring back Pontiac
Wed, Apr 26 2017Despite having officially left the market in 2010, the Pontiac badge is still a common sight on roadways throughout the United States. Towards the end of its life, Pontiac models were largely rebadged versions of other General Motors vehicles, like the Pontiac G5 and Chevrolet Cobalt. It's sad, but there's no other way to put it; Pontiac was a mere shadow of its former self at the time of its death. Now it's time to revive the legendary brand. General Motors announced it would be reviving the Redline series, a package that originated with Saturn, another dead brand, earlier this year. Some models, like the Chevrolet Camaro will receive unique cosmetic touches designed to make it look even sportier, something Pontiac excelled at in most cases. Gas prices have fallen dramatically in the past few years and consumers have taken notice. Sales of fuel efficient cars, like hybrids and compact sedans, aren't increasing at the same rate as larger, less efficient vehicles, like trucks and SUVs. Muscle cars, like the Ford Mustang, are seeing increasing sales as well. Perhaps it's time to revive Pontiac and restore the marque to its former glory: a brand that brought performance and style at an affordable price. There are currently few manufacturers that offer a true challenge to high-performance automakers like BMW. The German brand continues to see high sales year after year and performance has a lot to do with it. Brand recognition, namely through the BMW badge, plays a major role as well. Pontiac, arguably one of the most well-known brands to ever grace the industry, can match both factors with ease. Pontiac was once revered as a brand that revolutionized the muscle car segment in the 1970s and 1980s. It still has a lively following throughout enthusiast spheres and amongst drivers of all ages to this day. Reviving the brand with a small line of high-performance vehicles would certainly offer a challenge to dominating German brands. A small lineup of affordable vehicles bearing the Pontiac badge and designed for performance and style would certainly make waves in the current market. Reviving a few older nameplates, such as the GTO and Trans Am, would offer nostalgic appeal. Packing both models with a powerful entry-level engine, say the Camaro's turbocharged four-cylinder or V6 engine, would open up the market considerably.
