A pair of authentic 1984 Pontiac Fiero Indy 500 Pace Car Editions is currently being auctioned off via Bring-A-Trailer, presenting a rare opportunity for a Pontiac or American open-wheel racing fan to lock down two examples of this somewhat rare piece of GM history.
GM built just 2,000 examples of the 1984 Pontiac Fiero Indy 500 Pace Car Edition, which serve as a nod to the actual Fiero pace car that led the Indy 500 to green that year. Each car featured a two-tone white and silver exterior with matching white-painted alloy wheels, ‘Official Pace Car’ body side decals, a ‘Pontiac’ windshield decal, a standard glass sunroof, quad-tip exhaust outlets and a rear spoiler.
The Pontiac Fiero Indy 500 Pace Car Edition also featured an eye-popping two-tone interior with white and grey leather upholstery, red seat inserts and red carpeting. A white leather-wrapped steering wheel and white leather-wrapped gear selector also came standard. Under the hood is a naturally aspirated 2.5L four-cylinder engine, which is mated to the optionally available three-speed automatic transaxle. Only the 2.5L engine was offered for the 1984 model year, with GM only adding the V6 to the order books for 1985.
Pontiac sold nearly 147,000 examples of the Fiero for the 1984 model year, just 2,000 of which were Indy 500 Pace Car Edition models. This two-car lot listing could be a great way to snag a deal on this seldom-seen piece of Pontiac lore, with bidding currently sitting at a reasonable $13,500 with seven days left on the auction. One of the cars has 14,000 miles on the odometer, while the other has 76,000 miles. Both are identically equipped, in similar shape and located in sunny Florida.
Check out the listing at this link for more information and photos. The auction will end on March 10th, 2022.

Yes the design aged well.
Do you still own one?
I had a Fiero for a while. Front suspension, which I believe it shared with the econobox Chevette, was rough riding. Not a lot of great memories with that car. Too many disappointments that took away from its potential.
From what I recall, the front end was Chevette and the rear was the front of a Citation. Not the greatest combo.
’88 the front end was fixed, only to disappear…
Are you planning on driving the car or just collecting it ? If you want to drive it, save your money and TRY and find a nice 2008 Fiero GT with the 2.8 with the one-model-year revised front suspension that ditches the gosh-awful, parts-bin Chevette junk on all the other years of the Fiero. Typical GM stupidity in that they spent Tens of Millions to design and manufacture a decent front suspension for the Fiero and then cancelled the car leaving the 2008 as the only year with the decent front suspension on it. Having owned a 2008 GT I can also advise not to buy the Stick shift ( as much as I love Stick ) because there is no room for your left foot if it’s not on the Clutch pedal ! Oh, and don’t forget, if you change the coolant you gotta’ “burp” the 2.8 to get rid of the air pocket. Enjoy a fun car !
2008?????
Probably meant 1988. That was the last year made.
1988
OOOPs, 1988 !
Jealous that Ford created cars to incinerate it’s customers, GM created the Fiero…
Know for its engine Fires 🔥, the Fiero was, alas, not quite as successful, so GM created the Killer ignitions as a more comprehensive Killing mechanism; locked steering wheel, turned off power brakes and steering and best of all, turned off airbags.
To; Trumps a pedophile.
I’m assuming you didn’t enjoy yourself?!
