This is a MATCHING NUMBERS Formula 400 with a 400 cu. in., M-21 4-speed with hurst shifter, and 3.45 safe-T-trac rearend. (Pontiac's posi) I have the PHS documentation for this car which includes the original dealer invoice. There were only 1750 of these made with a 400 and 4-speed, and this one is even rarer because it was ordered with the optional M-21 instead of the M-20 that was installed in most of them. Also this car has the rear spoiler, and console deleted. It has the trans am gauge package with the tick-tock tach. (clock in the tach) Factory A/C which is all there and has been converted but currently not working. Power issue. This car runs and drives great. Always runs cool even on 90 degree days and shifts tight like original. Motor doesn't leak a drop, but trans is leaking a little around some of the seals due to the fact this car sit for 4 years before I got it. Cheap and easy fix though. Gasket and seal kit is around $20.00 and is easy to install. This car was z-barred from the factory. There is only one rust spot on the rear of the passenger side quarter about the size of a silver dollar right next to the tail light. I have POR 15 it to prevent it from rusting further. The trunk and floors are perfect and so is behind the rear bumper and valance. The body has one dent on the front drivers side fender at the wheel opening and a few other door dings and it needs repainted due to chips and poor paint job. It is not the original color. Originally it was Lime Fire Green with a black vinyl top. The NADA guide says that average retail on this car is $18,430 and high is 26,430 but that is with the regular 4-speed trans so with the optional M-21 I'm sure it is higher. I have installed new exhaust with x-pipe and flowmasters, new shocks on all 4 corners, rebuilt the whole distributor, and installed new plugs and Taylor wires. I also installed a new front valance due to the original being cracked and new filler panel between the front bumper and header panel. Interior is in great shape for it's age. The seats are almost perfect but could use carpet. Probably an 8 1/2 out of 10. I DON'T KNOW IF MILEAGE IS ORIGINAL OR NOT. The speedometer was only working sometimes. I replaced the small gear in the transmission and put a new cable on it and it is working now.

The last Pontiac Fiero sold for $90,000 at auction

Thu, Dec 3 2020

On 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.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs

Thu, Aug 20 2015

General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.
