Here is a YouTube video of this Fiero. It was taken around September 27, 2013. http://youtu.be/AhQ3Iya-mB4
Below, I am going to try to list anything I can think of that may not be perfect, so to speak.
-The Fiero has been repainted prior to me owning it. And there is some very minor over spray (poor masking) on the trim.
-The new paint job is "NOT" perfect! But it does look very nice, even up close!
-The passenger door glass has large scratches in it from the old dew wipe (visible in video)
-The driver's door glass is loose as if missing one bolt (or one pivot point) inside the door.
-The plastic cover is missing from the driver's side interior door lock lever.
-The oil pressure gauge does not work. Very common Fiero problem. Supposedly mis-wired at the factory.
-Fuel gauge not accurate.
-Catalytic convertor definitely needs to be replaced. Outer covering is non existent.
-Engine has slight miss probably caused by 02 sensor sending wrong signals due to bad catalytic convertor.
-A/C needs to be charged and any possible leak fixed.
-Rear tail light lens has typical minor cracking.
-Tires are around 80% but have very fine dry rot cracks in the sidewalls from age.
-Missing wind deflector that is used when sun roof is removed. Normally stores under the front hood.
-Every day wear and tear.
The GOOD:
New paint (don't know age though)
New dew wipes
New l/f front caliper
New front rubber brake lines
New battery approximately 5/2013
New distributor
New ignition module
New sensor in air cleaner housing
New distributor cap
New 02 sensor
New speakers (4)
New after market stereo with remote
I don't know if this interior is original or new. But it is beautiful! No rips or tears!!!
There are probably many other new parts on this car. But most of the work was done before I bought it. Except for the minor stuff that I mentioned previously, this Fiero is in beautiful condition, as you can see in the included YouTube video. I will be glad to answer any questions about this car.
I am selling because I had knee surgery followed by shoulder surgery. And this car is not suitable for my current age and physical condition.
I do have a "clean" and "clear" North Carolina title in hand!
I have this Fiero listed locally. So I reserve the right to end this auction early.

I forgot to mention a couple of things:
The driver's side mirror was reattached to the door by a previous owner. It is secure. But the door panel is not perfect around that immediate area. It is "NOT" anything major. Just more of a visual irritant.
Also, the driver's side stainless steel coolant line under the car, has been repaired with a radiator hose at some point in its life. It is right in front of the driver's side rear tire. I assume that someone attempted to jack the car up in the wrong location and crushed the stainless steel line. I have "never" had any issues with the cooling system over heating or leaking! NEVER!!
Also, I checked Ebay's AutoCheck Vehicle History Report. And there is obviously an error by the Florida Emission Station that reported 146,000 miles on 12/13/96. When one year prior, the vehicle only had 65.000 miles. And one year later it only had 85,000 miles. And the entire history is consistent with the current 87,889 miles being the true and correct miles that are on this vehicle.
The current miles on this vehicle may change slightly, as I do have it listed locally. And it may be taken on test drives.

Just thought of a couple more items:
The Tinkerbell symbol on the passenger side wing window is a decal that was on there when I bought the car. It is faded fro the sun. I have never attempted to remove it.
The speaker covers for the two rear speakers are in the trunk of the car. They will probably need to be replaced. I have kept them because the cloth covering is still good. But the plastic housing is in bad condition.
NOTE: I am "NOT" normally home during the day. And I only receive and answer emails through my computer. So if you email me, please be assured that I will reply to you as soon as I get home. It will either be in the evening or early morning Eastern Time Zone.
On Oct-02-13 at 04:21:08 PDT, seller added the following information:
Correction to the tail light lens condition: There are only "two" very small cracks on the "left" tail light lens only. There are "NO" cracks on the "right" tail light lens. These two cracks are close to the trunk lock and are approximately one to two inches in length.
There is an indication that the car was involved in a minor fender bender at some point in its life. If you look at the video in my listing, at the body panel in front of the driver's headlight, you can see some very minor shallow dents that had been hammered out. It is nothing major! Definitely very "minor"! The headlights do work proper.
There is approximately a one inch surface crack on the driver's side of the hood, on the small section between the front bumper and the driver's headlight. The crack is directly in line with the "I" in Pontiac on the headlight cover.

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium
Fri, Jun 12 2015Detroit is littered with derelict ruins. Abandoned automotive assembly plants, sure – but also former sports venues, like Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Roesink Stadium in Hamtramck, and the Silverdome in Pontiac. BMX rider Tyler Fernengel remembers going to see the Lions and Pistons play at the Silverdome in his youth, and competed there in Supercross as a boy. The stadium hasn't been used in years, but now, with his career just picking up, Tyler has returned to film this video – riding through its halls, jumping its stairwells and flipping over its grandstands and field. It's a fitting tribute to a once-great venue of suburban Michigan. Check out the footage in this latest clip from Red Bull.

The last Pontiac Fiero sold for $90,000 at auction
Thu, Dec 3 2020On August 16, 1988 the last Pontiac Fiero, a red GT model, rolled off the assembly line at GM's Pontiac Assembly plant located in Pontiac, Michigan. It wasn't just the final Fiero, but the final car to be built at that site. The car was raffled off to one of 1,400 plant employees that would soon have to find jobs elsewhere. Whoever that employee was, they remained faithful to the Fiero and kept it in mint condition for 32 years. Last month, it was finally time to move on. It crossed the block at GAA Auctions in Greensboro, North Carolina where it sold for an astounding $90,000. According to the auction house, that's a new world record. The price no doubt reflected the car's place in history as the last example of GM's 1980s mid-engined sports car. However, it was also showroom-new, with just 582 miles clocked on its 2.8-liter V6. 1988 models were also fitted with an upgraded, Lotus-esque suspension produced for just that one year. In addition, this car, serial number 226402, came with its original build sheet, photos from the assembly line, and a collection of news articles and books. It still wore its pre-delivery plastic on the interior and was fully loaded with automatic transmission. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The car's custodian for the past 32 years must be pleased. Bidding started at $25,000 but soon rocketed past the $65,000 reserve. You can see the action starting at the 2:50:13 mark in the video above. The Fiero was symbolic of the 1980s and stood out from the standard GM passenger car fare for its mid-engine layout and plastic body panels. In an era when GM often rebadged cars with minimal differences, the Fiero rode on its own unique chassis. It was positioned as one of the defining products for Pontiac, GM's "excitement" brand, but actual performance never quite lived up to its striking looks. Nevertheless, it garnered a cult following. It's often the basis for (questionable) custom builds mimicking more exotic models like Ferraris and Lamborghinis, thanks to a steel space-frame design that allows body panels to be easily removed. Thankfully, this significant example escaped such a fate and will live on as a reminder of an interesting chapter of automotive history.
