There
was a time that “Pontiac”, “mid-engine”, and “compact” would never be part of
the same conversation. After all,
between Super Duty Trans-Ams and gargantuan Bonnevilles it would hardly seem
plausible. But GM pulled it off,
building more than 370,000 such cars from 1984-88. And while that is a pretty big number, very
few remain like this pristine 1987 GT version with just 9,987 miles!
This
car is a true time capsule and a tribute to a design that looks even better
today than it did 40 years ago. It has a
clean history that shows 30 years with its original owner in New York where it accumulated
7,949 miles. The Bright Silver Metallic
paint looks great and is nicely accented by the black trim and Medium Gray
Metallic lower sections. As a GT this Fiero
also has the aero nose, rear wing, extended rocker panels, and flying buttress
bodywork. Other features include a factory
sunroof and quad exhaust outlets. Note
this car also received a Rusty Jones rustproofing treatment with the original decal
still in place. The factory 15″ cast
aluminum wheels show some age while wearing BF Goodrich tires from 2017.
Power
comes from the optional 2.8-liter V6 paired mated to a three-speed automatic
transaxle. This engine features an iron
block with aluminum heads, an aluminum intake manifold, and electronic fuel
injection. Its 135hp rating may be tame
by today’s standards, but this represented a 40% increase over the base 2.5L
4-cylinder. The manual rack and pinion
steering is effective given the car’s mid-engine arrangement, while the
power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes make things easy to stop. Everything is in good mechanical condition.
Looking
inside this Fiero continues the trip through time. The Pallex gray cloth interior is truly amazing
with excellent seat upholstery, door panels, and carpet. Some slight sagging in the headliner is noted
due to 40-year-old adhesive. The tilt
steering column is topped by a leather wrapped steering wheel that could pass
for new. All instruments, gauges, and
lights work properly. Additional equipment
includes cold air conditioning, power windows, power locks, power mirrors,
cruise control, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo.
Everything functions as it should.
There
isn’t much you can say about the Fiero that hasn’t already been said. It represents one of the most unique American
cars of the 1980’s and will always have a place in automotive history. And while this is one of the nicest examples on
the market, its price still pales in comparison to six-figure Fox body Mustangs
and IROC-Z Camaros, demonstrating how the Fiero remains a tremendous value in
the collector car market.
