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.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
