Vehicle Description
1985 Pontiac Fiero SE
The Pontiac Fiero is a mid-engine sports car that was built by
American automobile manufacturer General Motors from 1983 to 1988
for the 1984 to 1988 model years. The Fiero was designed by George
Milidrag and Hulki Aldikacti as a sports car. It was the first
two-seater Pontiac since the 1926 to 1938 coupes and the first
mass-produced mid-engine sports car by an American manufacturer.
Many technologies incorporated in the Fiero design, such as
composite panels, were radical for their time.
For consignment, a time capsule in the form of a 1985 Pontiac
Fiero. This car was purchased new at Cochran Pontiac in
Monroeville, PA and used sparingly for the first 5 years. Then it
was put away for 29 years! According to the still on 1990
inspection sticker, at that time it had 11,589 miles. Now showing
12,391 original miles and ready to bestow itself in your driveway
ready for you to take it for a spin!
Exterior
This low, 2 door, mid-engine sports car basically uses three kinds
of plastic: reaction-injection-molded (RIM) polyurethane, a "soft"
plastic designed to take knocks on the front and rear bumpers;
reinforced-reaction-injection-molded (RRIM) polyurethane, a harder,
but still supple plastic used on the sides and doors of the Fiero.
This car's panels are bathed in white and is the original paint and
body panels as this is a no hit car. Black accenting is seen with a
wrap around the total car trimming just below the belt line and
corresponding top to meet the mid-section of the front grille. A
black rocker trim in plastic black glass surrounds and a black vent
for the rear quarter helps gather up extra air for the mid-engine.
On the back this Fiero is optioned with a luggage rack, and it
sports a sunroof. 14-inch standard alloy wheels are on this example
and these are wrapped in black wall rubber.
Interior
Designated an SE model aka 2M4 which translates to 2-seater, mid
4-cylinder engine, we swing the doors and see the 2 buckets covered
in light gray broadcloth for the inserts and dark gray for the
bolsters. These also show inset speakers in the headrests and are
like new and very clean. A large wide center console is between the
buckets and houses a large storage compartment, the shift lever and
window toggles. Taking the square and rectangle design motif to the
max, the dash is made up of a series of squares and rectangles in
black with inserted instruments and other controls. A surrounding
light gray dash front within which are these protruding shapes.
Carrying this idea to the edges where the A/C and heat vents are
also on their own vertical blocks on either side. Door panels are
two tone light gray with black fields and a light gray storage
pouch. Very clean like new carpeting floods the floors, and above
is a fuzzy headliner which has a few wrinkles and the sunroof.
Drivetrain
The 2.5-liter four cylinder "Iron Duke" engine is inserted in the
mid section directly behind the seats. It is very clean and all
original and is fed via EFI. A TH125 3-speed automatic is within
this area as well, and throws power to the rear wheels via a 3.18
final drive.
Undercarriage
4 wheel independent suspension, and 4 wheel disc braking attach
themselves to a clean rust free unibody which has black rust free
rockers and floor pans. Pretty much a ground effects bottom with
simple attachments and smooth metal abounding. Also noted, no runs
or drips from the engine's bottom end...AMAZING!
Drive-Ability
I slipped into the firm but comfortable and supple broadcloth
seats, and turned the key for an immediate fire up. On the test
track it handles nicely and runs smoothly. Looking much like an
Italian sports car, it is really a gas saving commuter, so power is
lower as your sacrifice on this 4 cylinder version. All was working
in the functionality department, and due to the long storage
period, I noticed the radio only works on scan mode.
This one owner, amazingly low original mile car has been completely
gone over and ready to enjoy. Consigner states seats had covers and
were just taken off so they have been barely sat in, and why they
look so factory.
