Every so often, an exceedingly clean example of the certifiably rad Pontiac Fiero pops up for sale with an ambitious asking price. Today’s example is this 1985 Pontiac Fiero GT with 941 miles on the clock and a $25,000 asking price.
This is a highly desirable spec of the Pontiac Fiero. 1985 was the first year for the GT model, and it’s powered by the 2.8L V6 L44 engine, rated at 140 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque. A 4-speed manual transmission routes the power to the rear wheels.
The two-tone paint is red with gray lower cladding, and the interior is also two-tone, made up of light and dark shades of gray. Interior features include air conditioning, a tape deck, and a Delco audio system with speakers in the headrests.
The listing indicates that the window sticker is included in the sale. Unfortunately, it isn’t pictured in the photo gallery. The listing also insists that this Fiero boasts a clean Carfax vehicle history report, but, like the window sticker, it isn’t provided in the listing.
The Pontiac Fiero was intended to be a sporty economy car slotted below the Firebird in GM’s performance division’s lineup. It’s a two-seater, mid-engined coupe with distinct styling that’s made it something of an icon of the 1980s. Its performance gradually improved over its one-generation lifecycle but was discontinued after 1988. The Pontiac Fiero was the first mass-market, mid-engined car from an American manufacturer, and it was the brand’s last two-seater until the 2006 Pontiac Solstice.
If you’re a collector smitten with 80s nostalgia who has been looking for a clean Fiero in a desirable configuration, you can pick this one up at the Detroit showroom of Gateway Classic Cars for a cool $25,000. That might sound steep for any Pontiac Fiero, but we’ve seen low-mile examples with manual transmissions go for $30k and higher.

I owned a new 1986 Fiero 6cyl auto trans and drove it without a problem for 184K miles. A great damn inexpensive sports cruiser. Dependable and fun and very responsive. My commuter car as well. Today anything less with 50K miles is a longtime keeper. And a bargain.
This is an ideal body for a EV conversion.
I’d love to get one of these. Stiffen up the suspension and put some sporty summer tires on and brake upgrades of course.
Oh nice but you definitely want the Fiero Indy model. But they’re all cool fun little cars. Build the bottom of that motor and throw on big old turbo ! 👍🍸 almost as much fun on the track as my carbon 65 Zo6 😜
