If it’s mid-engine General Motors performance that you’re after, the all-new Chevrolet Corvette C8 isn’t the only game in town. You could also go a bit more old school with the Pontiac Fiero, such as the pristine example featured here. Now, this nearly new Fiero is up for grabs on Bring A Trailer.
This particular Pontiac Fiero comes from the final 1988 model year, and sports just 108 miles on the clock.
Delivered new to Parcetti Pontiac in Louisiana, this Fiero was originally titled to the dealer for use by the owner’s son, who apparently never took delivery of the mid-engine sports car.
That means this thing is practically untouched, and even comes with the original window sticker and dealer plates. The seller states that the car was purchased out of long-term storage last year, and has since been the recipient of a “general inspection.”
Finished in a searing shade of Bright Red, this 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT is powered by the 2.8L V6 L44 gas engine mounted just behind the cabin, which drives the rear wheels by way of a three-speed automatic transmission. The exterior also features quad exhaust tips, a prominent rear spoiler, retractable headlamps, and removable glass roof panels, all while the corners show off with 15-inch multi-spoke wheels with a slick gold finish and polished lip, mounted with Pirelli P4 all-season tires.
This 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT also comes with power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes and a rear sway bar.
Inside, we find acres of tan leather upholstery, as well as Euro-style sport seats and a three-spoke steering wheel. Air conditioning is included, as are electric outside mirrors and power windows. Playing the tunes is a Delco cassette stereo with five-band graphic equalizer.
Now, this pristine 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT is up for grabs on Bring A Trailer. The window sticker shows an MSRP of $17,000 – however, after seven bids, the current bid is set at $25,000 with about five days left in the auction as of this writing.

You know, that’s still a darn nice looking ride after all these years. I’d say that design aged well. And for an asking price of $17,000.00 I can see why it jumped up. Any guesses on what it will end up selling for? I’m thinking 30 grand.
These generally make it about $20 to 24k normally. $30k is a bit high for what we see.
My friend sold one with 14k miles in a rare Yellow with leather and T tops.
The problem with a low mile car like this the extra $10k I’d for no miles so if you drive it you flush $10k right now. Buy one with 10k miles and save the money and drive it.
The last Fiero GT that was built was sold recently for over $90,000.
Like you said the last Fiero. That makes a difference between two motivated bidders vs just any 88 GT.
I know the guy who bought it and he is a highly motivated collector.
Particular cars and history makes a difference to the diehard collector.
He also paid over 60k for another Fiero. It was an Indy and Cart pace car used at the speedway and at Cart Indy races. Lots of history with that car as well a SD4 cylinder.
The price went up with bidding against a collector in Japan for Indy items.
A lot of ’88 GT owners sold their low millage ones for a step up into the Corvette, years back, -mine included. Mine had 861 miles. I only made a few grand more than what I bought it for, a few years later, but I got the Corvette fever.
I recall many buying 88 models expecting a big return but it never happened.
I know one guy told me he bought 4 of them as an investment. I told him they built too many to see much return.
Hey my 85 is worth more than I paid new for it. That is better than 95% of most 85 cars today so I will not complain.
I am going to buy a Vette but the Fiero will stay. I have had it so long and done a lot of cool things with it. I have the room to keep it!
Too think GM could almost reintroduce this vehicle with an updated interior, rims and a 2.0 liter turbo engine or electric powertrain and it’s still so stinking gorgeous it would sell like crazy… Yes Please… Break out the tooling GM, break it out…
I agree a 2.0 would be fun but the tooling is long gone and Pontiac is long gone.
But there are a ton of clean Fiero’s hiding in garages with low miles and a swap can be done.
As for electric you would never have enough room for decent range till even better batteries come in.
