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.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
GM Design shows what could have been and what might be
Thu, May 27 2021We periodically like to check in with GM Design's Instagram account to see what they're cooking up. Even better is when we catch a glimpse of an alternate history of what legendary designers from The General's past were thinking, though those ideas may not have made it into production. This week, for example, the account posted some illustrations from George Camp, whose career at GM spanned nearly four decades, from 1963 to 2001. One of the renderings is of what appears to be a 1971-72 Pontiac GTO Judge, but with two headlights instead of the production unit's quad beams. The rear departs from the canonical version most dramatically, with a massive integrated wing. Other bits that didn't make the production cut include large side vents, a gill-like side marker and rectangular intakes below the headlights that wouldn't be out of place on a modern design today. Amazingly, from what we can make out of the date, it appears that the drawing was done sometime in 1965, which makes it quite prescient. View this post on Instagram A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) There's also a very aerodynamic interpretation of a Corvette ZR-1. To our eyes it splits the difference between the 1986 Corvette Indy concept and a fourth-generation F-body Pontiac Firebird, so perhaps parts of Camp's work on this sketch did make it into physical form. There's also a radical sports car concept from May 1970 that resembles the Mazda RX-500 concept from the same year, a Syd Mead-looking Cadillac coupe, and an Oldsmobile with a cool take on the company's trademark waterfall grille and elements of the Colonnade Cutlass at the rear. Other recent posts include a FJ Cruiser-like off-road EV, a sleek coupe with the Chevy corporate grille, and a rendering of a Silverado-esque pickup that looks far better than the current production version.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.
