FANTASTIC, LOW MILEAGE, 1988 PONTIAC FIERO GT 5-SPEED. NICELY OPTIONED WITH COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION FROM DAY ONE! Regardless of whether you are an avid Fiero enthusiast, owned a Fiero back in the day, or knew someone who owned one, it is hard to argue that the 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT is going to be one of the iconic Pontiac Collectible cars as years go by. Among other things, the Fiero was the first 2 seater Pontiac since the 1938 coupes. We all know Pontiac "used" to build excitement and there are sure to be many exciting years to come for owners of low mileage, top quality Fiero GT's. This is the second Fiero GT I have owned and it is truly in amazing condition and has a pedigree that any car collector can appreciate. I recently purchased this awesome 5-speed GT from the second owner in Alabama. This was the 3rd Fiero he had owned and he actually bought one brand new back in '88. He bought this one 4 years ago from the original owner in Arizona. He had a blast driving it from AZ to his home in AL and without a doubt if someone wanted to drive this cross country it is ready to go! He only put a few thousand miles on it during his ownership and decided it was time to make space for his next toy. This Fiero is truly in near flawless original condition!! I will do my best to honestly describe this future classic collectible and provide as many pics as possible as well as several videos so you can see the true condition and quality of this car. Sit back and enjoy!! As I mentioned this car was bought brand new in Mesa, Arizona at Sun Pontiac. The original owner babied this Fiero and it shows! He was obviously a serious car enthusiast and saved all of the original paperwork and documentation. This Medium Red Metallic GT has never been in any accidents or had any paint work as far as I can tell. The previous owner was quite positive that this car wears its original factory paint on all of the original body panels. I was also told that this Fiero was never even driven in the rain. You may have already noticed that this GT does not have the rear spoiler that many have. This was actually an option on the GT and the original owner decided he would prefer to have a luggage rack instead. As the 2nd owner told me this luggage rack almost looks like a mini spoiler and as a result he called it "The Gentleman's Fiero GT". This option probably makes this particular car even more rare and will add to its value and collectibility as time goes by. This Fiero recently won 1st place at an All Pontiac Show in Alabama. The original documentation on this car is phenomenal and includes everything from the original window sticker and Sales Receipt from the dealer to the original VIP Owners Card and of course all of the original manuals and great service history documenting the very low 44,900 original miles. I learned from the first Fiero GT I owned that there were some options that tend to be pretty rare on these cars. This particular car has several very desireable and rare options like the drivers side lumbar support and premium stereo with sub-woofer. Not to mention that this is a 5-speed and has a dealer installed luggage rack....I wouldn't be surprised if this Fiero GT is 1 of 1 in this color with these options! The pictures that follow will give you a walk around tour of the near flawless body on this Fiero. This car has all of its original paint that is in amazing condition. It was never in any accidents, minor or otherwise. Upon close personal inspection the meticulous buyer might find an extremely tiny rock chip or two but the body is really near flawless! It is nice enough to win shows, and has! It is also a car you could or should drive and enjoy whether it is to the shows or just for the fun and excitement! At the end of the description I also included a walk around video of the car. Open the drivers side door on this 2-seater mid engine sports car and you will think this car just came off the showroom floor. The beechwood interior is basically perfect and shows no wear that I could see. The car was never smoked in and still has that new car smell. Gauges are crystal clear and all electronics are functioning correctly including the pop-up headlights. The A/C system blows nice and cold! Original floor mats look excellent. Power windows and locks work great. The 2nd owner replaced the front speakers with upgraded speakers but I have the originals. The original sub-woofer was re-coned and I have the receipt. The original shifter was upgraded with a Rodney Dickman sport shifter but I do have the original as well. Just a true time capsule inside this beauty. Here is a quick photo tour inside. The Fiero's mid engine layout was chosen as a way to reduce aerodynamic drag and vehicle weight to improve fuel efficiency, and also for its handling, traction and braking benefits. The 1988 Model is considered the most desired by most for many reasons. Numerous changes were made to the 1988 Fiero. The most significant was a completely redesigned suspension to realize the full potential of the mid-engine layout. The new suspension included new two-piece brake calipers and upgraded brake rotors. The GT model included the V6 motor with 43 hp more then the 4 cylinder, upgraded suspension and wider tires. Topping off the package were the new vented disc brakes on all 4 corners. With under 45,000 original miles this particular Fiero GT has really just been broken in and drives like a new one did in 1988. The 5-speed really adds to the fun of driving this true sports car and the Rodney Dickman sport shifter that was professionally installed provides a great, tight shift pattern. The only other modification done by the 2nd owner was to improve the handling by adding 1" lowering ball joints in front and new front bushings. This Fiero handles like it is on rails...fun!! During this final year of production the Pontiac, MI plant where the Fiero was produced shut down and Pontiac made the decision to cease production of the Fiero in February, 1988. There were only 6849 Fiero GT's produced in this final year. If you do some web research you will see that there are some very interesting comparisons of the Fiero to the Ferrari 308 and performance statistics would surprise the heck out of you with the Fiero. It is a known fact that Pontiac purchased several Ferrari 308 models for handling, engineering and comparison purposes. Some called it a mini Ferrari that was far more affordable. Here are a few pics of the engine bay. As you probably have noticed this GT also rides on the original stock gold diamond spoke wheels that are in fantastic condition with no curb rash. The 2nd owner said that he drove the car back from AZ with the original tires still on the car but they were really showing there age so he did some research and put on the quietest set of Kumho tires that he could find and had an alignment done. The tires only have a few thousand miles on them and are basically like new. The front trunk area looks like new as well with original spare. The underside of this Fiero is bone dry as it was always in a a warm, dry climate unlike many of the Fieros from the Northeast or midwest you will see that show rust and corrosion....I did not take any pics but believe me it looks fantastic underneath! Bottom line is that this particular Fiero GT is in amazing condition and is truly one of the few American automobiles of its time that can be considered a collectible. Perhaps even better is that it can definitely be driven and enjoyed while it maintains its investment potential. It is definitely a vehicle that has left its mark and would fit it to any car collection.
