General Motors Pontiac Fiero

Why did I buy three of these American sports cars ? ANSWER: To give them away of course.


Well, in 1984 I saw my first Fiero as a freshman in college, I had to have one and purchased a model instead due to limited funds. Three years later I bought my first Fiero off the dealer's lot with 35 miles...what a ride that was. For almost four years, the car was trouble free and only required general maintenance.


At 101,000 miles and two recalls later, the 5 speed coupe needed a new clutch, and I decided to replace it myself. I bought an '86 sports coupe with an automatic transmission for $750 to drive while the car was on jack stands. The '86 is destined for an engine conversion (Chevy V8 or Buick series II 3.8L V6) and possible body conversion (Fieros are the number one donor now for kit-cars...used to be the VW, I had one of those too but crashed & burned it when I fell asleep behind the wheel and hit a semi-truck in '86). Anyway the '87 is still going strong and I rely on the Fiero List for advice about keeping these cars on the road.

Speaking of the V8, they also fit in motorcycles. Note: I gave the '86 away in June '03 to help clean up the yard. The '87 is again in need of a clutch and is waiting to be pushed into the driveway.

There were a bunch of cool people doing cool things to these cars, and links to their sites are below (if they still work):
