$16,995 Cruisin Classics is excited to present to you this rare
low-mileage 1984 Pontiac Fiero "Indy Pace Car Edition". In 1984 the
Fiero became the first mid-engine car to pace the Indianapolis 500
and the first 4-cylinder car to do so since a Stoddard-Dayton paced
the 1914 race. To honor of this achievement, Pontiac produced 2,000
pace car replicas. All of these Indy Fieros had aero body cladding
and new front and rear fascias that would be used on the '85 GT.
They were all white with a grey lower body section accented with
red pinstripes, they all had 4-cylinder engines, and they all
shared Grey and Red interiors. Despite the similarities, these Indy
cars could be ordered with a whole host of factory options -
meaning that some were loaded and some were base-model type cars.
This particular Fiero had almost all of the options "boxes" checked
when it was ordered, including the 4-speed transmission, and it
currently has only 15,175 ACTUAL MILES on the odometer! Let's take
a deeper dive into this absolute time-capsule from the 80's...
This Fiero comes to us dressed in its original factory paint that
is in driver-quality condition with minor blemishes like some light
spider-webbing on the front fascia and rock chips . Up front you'll
see the working flip-up headlights that were a staple of
wedge-shaped cars in the 80's. The front fascia is adorned with a
crest shaped "Indy Fiero" badge complete with the Fiero Pegasus in
flight. Around the sides on the fenders are eye-catching "pace car
only" Indianapolis Motor Speedway badges. A black body-molding
strip runs tip to tail and integrated into it are side turn signal
lights and door handles. The Fiero also sports dual body-color
sport mirrors. All pace cars came with commemorative Indianapolis
500 decal kits that were meant to be displayed on the doors with
another "PONTIAC" decal for the top of the windshield, and this
Fiero has both in good condition. On the roof of this car is a
removable pop-up glass sunroof that can easily and safely be stored
under the front "hood" with factory rubber tabs to keep it in
place. The drivers side of the car has an air intake just behind
the door that feeds the mid-mounted engine that sits right behind
the passenger compartment. This Fiero has been outfitted with a
replica of the periscope-style "over the roof" air intake that only
the three actual Indy pace cars had, though this one is strictly
decorative. There is a clip at the forward edge of the base to
release it so that it swivels backward to where it can be held with
a prop - allowing access to the trunk and engine compartment At the
rear of the decklid is a large rear spoiler wing that further adds
to the sporty look. The taillight covers stretch side to side
across the rear and they are in excellent condition - clear, with
no cracks or imperfections. Poking out from the bottom of the rear
fascia are dual chrome exhaust tips on each side. Completing the
cool look of this Fiero are a set of 14" HI-TECH aluminum
white-painted wheels with a red outer stripe, all wrapped in
white-letter Goodyear Eagle GT tires.
Lift the forward opening front hood to reveal a very clean and tidy
"front trunk". There isn't room for any substantive storage in this
area as it is home to the headlight assemblies, radiator, brake
booster and master cylinder, and a spare tire and factory jack. As
mentioned before, there are rubber-coated tabs that provide a
storage area for the sunroof glass just above the spare tire.
Around back, under the decklid, is where you'll find both the trunk
and the mid-mounted engine. The carpeted trunk may seem small at
first glance, but it is very deep and it offers a surprising amount
of storage space. Ahead of the trunk is an engine bay that is home
to the original 2.5 liter 4-cylinder fuel-injected GM "Iron Duke".
Though not exceptionally fast, these 92hp engines provided
excellent fuel economy and enough power to make this lightweight
2-seater a fun driver. The engine is topped off with a grey air
cleaner with a "2.5 EFI" call-out and a grey valve cover - both
with black striping. The engine is mated to a 4-speed manual MM4
transmission that sends power to the rear wheels with 4.10
gears.
Inside the drivers door you'll find an immaculately clean and
bone-stock red and grey interior illuminated by working courtesy
lights. The doors are covered in grey vinyl and red carpet and
offer stitched grey leather armrests, map pockets, and power locks.
The bolstered seats are in very good condition and feature grey
leather sides, red cloth center inserts with Indianapolis 500
call-outs on the backs, and speakers in the headrests. Between the
seats is a wide center console with a storage box, armrest,
lighter, controls for power windows and mirrors, and a shifter with
a grey leather-wrapped knob flanked by two small ashtrays. Ahead of
the console is a dash pod that houses the stereo and HVAC controls.
The stereo is a factory Delco AM/FM/Cassette unit with 5-band
equalizer that plays through dash speakers as well as those in the
headrests. The HVAC controls are easy to use and they provide cold
A/C, hot heat, and a strong fan on demand. The driver is treated to
a grey leather-wrapped steering wheel with working horn on a tilt
column. The turn signal stalk offers controls for intermittent
wipers.. Ahead of the wheel is a rectangular pod that holds a
speedometer, tachometer, and gauges for temp, fuel, and battery. To
the left of the gauges is a switch for the lights and to the right
is a switch for the trunk release. Mounted under the dash to the
drivers left is a dual superheterodyne XK radar detector (it lights
up, but we have not tested it). Overhead you'll find the
aforementioned sunroof surrounded by a grey felt headliner, map
lights, and visors. Underfoot is bright red factory carpet topped
off with matching carpeted floormats. This Fiero also comes with
the original owners manual portfolio, a period ad promo, original
purchase paperwork from a dealership in Connecticut (9/4/84), a
copy of a 2016 NY title, PHS docs, a service manual, and a clean
CarFax.
Indy Fieros are rare cars to begin with, but finding one in this
condition, well-optioned, with a 4-speed manual, and only 15,175
actual miles is like encountering a unicorn! This exceptionally
well preserved specimen would be a fantastic addition to any
collection and its value will surely rise as the years pass by and
fewer & fewer low-mileage examples exist! Give our friendly staff a
call today and be the lucky one to call this classic ride their
own!
