well, I remember seeing a Fiero with 18" HRE's and a caddy Northstar engine swap at XS customs a year back... totally bad ass

 

The final year GT fiero is very collectable nowadays.

Good luck picking up a rough one for less than 3500.

 

I'll take 3 also.

 

Actually the Fiero's caught fire in the wiring, I had a friend with one in highschool and it caught fire. They were basically mid engine grand ams, but now that there are hardly any left, they can be worth some money in good shape.

 

Where is it located?
There were several companies that did convertibles and the nice ones can pull in quite a bit of money.
Make a post on Pennock's Fiero Forum under General Fiero Chat. There are several people on there that could give you an extremely accurate value of the car.

Engine that leaks oil, firewall insulation that would sag and sit on the exhaust manifold, and leaves/debris can easily fall and get stick between the exhaust manifold and firewall. Add all of this up and you have a fire waiting to happen from the factory.
All of these problems are also easy to fix. Ask anyone one who is running a Small Block Chevy, NorthStar, or 3800S/C in their Fiero.

 

Check Autotrader and eBay. I'm sure you'll find different. My first car was an '86 Fiero GT which I got for $1,500. In the years since then the Fiero has become more of a collector's item with more and more popping up with very very low miles and in perfect condition.

Only the '84 Fieros were known for catching fire and exploding. '84 was all four-cylinders. In '85 they moved the gas tank to the center of the car underneath the armrest, which is actually the best place for it.

Fiero = mid-engine Grand Am? I don't think so. The suspension was modeled after the Lotus Esprit's, and so was the bodywork. Sure the 2.8V6 isn't that great. What IS great is a Cadillac Northstar fits perfect, along with the GTP 3800SC Series II, and basically any smallblock Chevy. Carbed, TPI, LT1, LS1, etc.

 

You could put a top fuel motor in that thing and I wouldn't drive it. Fast is fast, just like ugly is ugly. You cannot polish a turd.

My sister's ex-boyfriend had an '85 I think. What a piece of shit.
