Before the thread dies, I’d like to admit something.
If it weren’t for factors beyond my capacity to change, I would want an LS powered ’88 GT Fiero, sans T-top.
Personally, I hold that the Fiero was Pontiac’s last car as there was no upmarket version sold as a Buick or Olds. It looked fantastic in fastback trim, the crosslaces are one of the lightest rims GM ever offered, and it weighs nothing.
At present, I cannot find an ’88 GT, just loads of grotty 2M4’s. I’m not in any position to re-engineer the rear subframe, or even fund a crate LS of any flavour. I have no great amount of leisure time or money to set up a shop to work on any car, and perhaps most disapointingly, my genetics have dictated that I am too tall to fit comfortably within and drive a Fiero.
So in an effort to address my faint and fleeting addiction to the Fiero, I’ve amassed an archive of Fiero imagery and video, as many detailed technical photos as I can find, and have made attempts to hit ebay for orginal shop manuals.
To me, there was something quirky and unique about the car, despite the build quality. It was left field at the time, but it wasn’t left field and alien. Left field in a good way.
