1988 Pontiac Fiero GT. Professionally built 355 cubic inch Corvette TPI V8, motor has been balanced and the heads ported, 4 bolt main block, Howell wiring for injection, Zumalt engine mount kit modified by builder to achieve premium results. Unlike more common conversion kits, this set up locates the motor in a central position for superior weight distribution and power delivery, requiring custom heavy duty axles, as opposed to other kits which retain the light duty 4 or 6 cyl axles and wedge the V8 engine to one side requiring the frame to be cut to allow the water pump and pulleys to protrude int the wheel well area. Also with the aluminum heads and other accessories the engine adds only 70 lbs to the car. The other advantage of this conversion is the ability to have the car serviced as any other GM product. You can simply hook up the same scanners as you would any GM car and all the data and diagnostics are the same. This is not a spliced together, back yard, build but a carefully thought out and engineered conversion. Even an electronically actuated air door was crafted into the hood, or luggage compartment lid if you prefer, to remove hot air from the radiator when needed. And once again this modification is no "hodge podge" affair but was built with standard GM power seat motor and actuator parts which can be serviced or replaced, spare parts come with the car in case anything were to ever fail but this system has worked flawlessly over the life of the build. The car was built 15 years ago and has accumulated approximately 20k relatively trouble free miles. The only true repair needed was replacement of the injectors a year ago, which is a common issue with the TPI motors. It should be now good for another 20 years. The car started a stock GT with 132k miles, it was purchased as a recovered theft with no damage. Due to this, it has a clear transferable title that has a branding of "reconstructed, prior collision" a label the State of MA. attaches to many cars even though the has been no collisions? The car was not recovered with in the 30 day limit so the insurance company pays off the claim and then if later recovered the car is automatically "branded" That said, the car is in excellent condition, with all it's original panels and paint, there exists only a few minor chips and scratches, plus one spider cracking of the paint nearly impossible to notice unless you are looking for it on the right front corner of the bumper (see pic) The only other cosmetic defect is a small crack in the plastic quarter window on the drivers side (see pic) The interior is clean and in excellent condition, never smoked in, The car is always garaged and never used in inclement weather. After 20 years the my friend and the builder is looking to cut down his collection of cars to a more manageable level, this is the last of some 20 or so Fiero's whole or in parts, The best parts were used in this build and this is in my opinion the ultimate Fiero, some may have built wilder or faster ones but this car has a factory build quality to it that most others do not. Simply turn the key and go knowing you have the ability to take on some pretty exotic competition if you chose (Mustang, Ferrari. Porsche, ...) I am happy to answer any questions and can put any serious buyers in touch directly with the owner Frank. I have worked for and been friends with the owner for over 30 years and wouldn't risk my 100% positive feedback reputation unless I had complete confidence in the quality and value of this car.
