Summary

The Fiero is truly a piece of Americana, the first mass produced vehicle from any US manufacturer. The 1988 model, the last of the Fieros, saw vast improvements over its predecessors in handling, efficiency, and reliability. This particular Fiero has been well maintained, and--though there are some minor cosmetic improvements which could be made--is immediately ready to enjoy.

The As-Is Buyer - This car is ready to go as-is. It runs strong, looks good, and is a lot of fun to drive. There is no work needed to begin immediately enjoying it, The engine starts with no problem, the transmission is clean and shifts smoothly, the suspension is tight and rides smooth even at 70+ mph, and all of the electronics and lights work as expected.

The Project Guy or Gal - The '88 Fiero is a great platform for someone looking to customize their own ride, build a kit car, or perform an engine swap for a high-powered and newer engine. There are numerous Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, and other kits available. There are also many aftermarket kits available for common Fiero swaps (GM 3800, Cadillac Northstar,etc), but there's also a lot of new and interesting potential (such as the Ecotec engines used in the Solstice).

Features

Has the original Iron Duke 2M4 engine, and runs strong (I drive it to work every Friday)
5-speed manual transmission
Removable sunroof; no leaks
The original Fiero sun visor which clips in place beneath the glass sunroof
CD player
Porsche-style flush-mounted headlamps. Standard Fiero headlights are the pop-up variety. With the flush-mounted option, there is no concern of lights getting stuck in an up-or-down position, or damaging headlight door motors when turning the headlights on while the car is iced over
Great on gas. On the highway, she gets a solid 33 MPG, and takes 87 octane. One ten-gallon fillup gets you 330 miles.

Condition

Mechanically sound - it can serve as a daily driver, or as a weekend toy. As noted above, the car is driven minimum once a week (typically more often).
Exterior - Overall the exterior is in good condition. All lights work, no missing panels, no major issues. The entire body is plastic, so there is no rust. The paint has lost its luster, but is attractive as-is. There are three chips to note: A small area around the sunroof, a scratch above the moulding on the passenger fender, and a chip on the driver side of the rear decklid. All of these are minor, and can be repaired with DIY kits. The windshield has two chips from rocks kicked up while driving (they have been filled).
Interior - The interior is exceptionally clean for a 1988 vehicle. The seats are cloth, stain free, and in excellent condition. The dash has no cracks, and the original carpeting (door and floor pans) are in good condition. The headliner has some rips in it, and needs replacing. However, the cloth does not hang or obstruct the driver's view, and replacement of the fabric is not urgent.

Shipping and Payment

Payment should be made using PayPal or cash. No personal checks.
I am willing to deliver the car:

To within 60 miles of Greensboro, NC for free
To within 120 miles of Greensboro, NC for $50
To within 180 miles of Greensboro, NC for $100

If you live some distance outside of 180 miles from Greensboro, contact me and we may be able to work out an alternate arrangement.
If another shipping method is preferred, I will be happy to assist with whatever arrangements you wish to make.

Another Burt Reynolds Trans Am is up for auction

Wed, Jan 18 2017

Fans of Smokey and the Bandit, your car has arrived. This Saturday, January 21, Barrett-Jackson will auction a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am clone that, while not originally in the movie, was owned and signed by the Bandit himself, Burt Reynolds. Not only that, but it packs many modifications that should make this Pontiac drive the way we all imagined it did. This is a Trans Am clone, not an original. The car was built by Nebraska company Restore A Muscle Car, and started life as a lowly Firebird Formula. However, the company brought it up to Trans Am grade and beyond. Under the hood is a fuel-injected 8.2-liter V8 from Butler Performance that Restore A Muscle Car says produces 600 horsepower. Coupled to the big V8 is a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. There's even Hurst line-lock on-board, so this Trans Am should be perfect for on-demand burnouts. The car also comes with QA1 coil-over suspension, so it should corner better than the original, too. The outside looks roughly like a stock Trans Am, but it now has 18-inch wheels styled after those from the movie car, and the shaker scoop says "8.2" on each side. View 5 Photos In 2014, a 1977 Trans Am owned by Reynolds sold for a whopping $450,000. That car wasn't an actual movie car either, and lacked the modifications of this one. However, it was used as a promotional car and was given to Reynolds, so it did have some history with the film. This upgraded car is listed in the Barrett-Jackson catalog as "no reserve," so it's going home with a new owner on Saturday, regardless of price. Related Video:

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Pontiac LeMans Sedan

Tue, Feb 7 2017

During the 1960s, the Pontiac LeMans was a sporty, rear-wheel-drive midsize car, the GTO's cheaper sibling. Through the 1970s and into the middle 1980s, the LeMans became a bit less youthful-looking but remained a traditional rear-wheel-drive Detroit machine with a V8 engine option. Then, starting in the 1988 model year, the LeMans name went onto a South Korean-built version of the misery-inducing, front-wheel-drive Opel Kadett E. These were dark days for the Pontiac marque; here's the proof, photographed at a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard last month. This one didn't quite make it to the 100,000-mile mark. These cars were very, very cheap and sold reasonably well, but nearly all of the 1988-1993 LeManses are hatchbacks. I have seen a total of two Daewoo LeMans sedans during the last decade, and this is one of them. Under the hood, 74 raging Opel/Daewoo horsepower. This content is hosted by a third party.

In the United States, the ads for the LeMans were all about the hatchback, and all about cheap excitement.
