For Sale: 1985 Pontiac Fiero in Mesa, Arizona

Vehicle Description

This 1985 Pontiac Fiero SE is one of those cool cars that represents an interesting era. After all, not many people expected a mid-engine coupe from Pontiac, and this was the first year of the desirable V6 option. So it's quite nice when you can find a well-respected example offered for an affordable price.

The 2M6 badge on the rear is significant because it symbolized an update in power. We'll get into more info on that in a moment, but let's first appreciate the design that instantly got people thinking about a sports car. The designers set an impressive benchmark with the sharply-pointed front end, hidden headlights, and a hint of flying buttress over the rear deck. It's no wonder Pontiac gave this American coupe an Italian name because this looked like a more muscular version of the Fiat X1/9. It looks so good on this example because you can see an overall respect for the car and good investments like a later respray. Even the details are nice, like the crosslace GT wheels and quad exhaust tips. And we like the look of all the black trim that contracts the crisp white - including the band that encircles the whole car and hides the door handles.

Unlike the mid-engine European cars, the Fiero's layout does not sacrifice interior space. This is thanks to a very upright design that gives you a very airy feeling. But it does still give you the sporty style where all the controls are aligned with spirited driving in mind. The seats are exceptionally comfortable, and the good care means you still feel the terrific bolstering. The same care can be seen on the other interior elements that coordinate in a full sea of tasteful gray, like the carpets, door panels, and dash. It's loaded with great features like power windows, power locks, a sunroof, wood-like trim on the console, an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo, and provisions for factory air conditioning (it will need servicing/upgrading to blow cold again.) There are nice driver features like a grippy sports steering wheel, a tilt column, and a well-placed shifter for the three-speed auto. Plus, the gauges are upgraded to white-faced units so that the factory readouts and upgraded readouts all look uniform.

The fuel-injected 2.8-liter V6 was the key upgrade in this car. It delivers the extra power for entertaining performance in the relatively lightweight Fiero. It certainly looks the part of a performance engine with a bright red intake manifold and matching valve covers. There are even some nice updates, including the air intake and a stainless exhaust. It warms up to be a strong runner, and that feels right on a car that was made to hit the road. The desirable mid-engine layout works with the fully independent suspension, agile manual steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes to deliver a nimble driving experience that lives up to this car's European look and name.

The sale comes complete with extra components and even a magazine article on this coupe. This is a well-presented Fiero with the right features and price to be a terrific driver's classic. Call today!!!
