For Sale: 1988 Pontiac Fiero in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1988 Pontiac Fiero ASPP Ford GT Replica

"The Pontiac Fiero was practically created to be the perfect base for a mid engine replica build, and there are a few key reasons enthusiasts love to use it. The small American sports car offers a few things that very few other vehicles offer, especially at the price point. Here's what makes the Fiero a prime choice for replica builders: Mid engine layout, space frame with bolt on body panels, cheap, available and with vast aftermarket support, wheelbase matches many exotics surprisingly well, and legal and practical advantage, (i.e. Fiero VIN)."

For consignment, a 1988 Pontiac Fiero ASPP Ford GT replica showing 5,260 miles, but the true miles are unknown due to a West Virginia title exemption. This car was actually raced at Summit Point raceway a few times and was produced by Auto Sports Performance Products of Tempe, Arizona.

Exterior
Unlike other replicas based on a Fiero, there's very little exterior Fiero presence on this one and in fact, with the nice panels attached, it fits somewhere between Fiero and GT in size. It presents a racy exterior composed of Wimbledon White with blue taped stripes on the hood and rockers, smooth panels, air intakes on the hood along with NACA ducts, quarter panel intakes and an integrated spoiler rising as if flipping off competitors over heat expelling louvers. It's here you'll find twin, center exit exhaust and they are much bigger than any Fiero ever owned from the factory. 16-inch basketweave wheels with knock off caps hold staggered, ZR rated tires and they have deep sidewall cracks and will need immediate replacement. Other imperfections include flex cracks, cracking, fading and marring of blue stripes, paint run, scuffs, scratches, chin scrape, and rock chips.

Interior
Fiero's pedestrian configuration has been replaced on the door panels with a ribbed pattern in black vinyl and both doors are in nice shape with some separation near the passenger handle. Black leather bucket seats are convincing upgrades especially as wrapped by racing harnesses. Theyflank the Fiero broad center console, here with a T-shaped shifter with carbon fiber handle and leather boot. A three spoke steering wheel fronts what our consignor states is an authentic GT 40 dash with correct gauge layout and it's a smart looking set up in satin black and Autometer units. The Fiero A/C panel is in place along with an upgraded AM/FM/CD radio with satellite capabilities and a remote. Ford branded rubber mats cover black carpet below and the headliner also contributes to the black palette and is in nice condition.

Drivetrain
The mid mounted GM engine has been painted Ford blue and gained a Ford oval, but under the disguise is a 2.8 liter V6 rated at 165 horsepower and now wearing some free breathing headers. It's backed by the TH125C 3-speed automatic transmission that keeps power out back through 3.33 gears. Power brakes and air conditioning are on board and the bay is bridged by a strut tower brace.

Undercarriage
Big chrome tips head off our tour of the relatively clean underside where some surface rust is present but dry conditions are found. A stock style muffler is in place, emitting two black tailpipes towards the shiny termination. Power brakes are on board as front disc and rear drums and our consignor states the master cylinder, brake booster and stainless lines are newer. The fully independent suspension consists of double wishbone with coil springs up front and Macpheson struts in back.

Drive-Ability
While we were unable to lap the car due to the deteriorated tires, we did start it up to test functionality. The engine idles and sounds great. We note the A/C, wipers and reverse lights are not working but all other functions while stationary work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

Other than overall size, the exterior treatment is a faithful replication of the GT and we're sure if you saw this going the opposite direction in traffic, your head would instantly turn and at speed, you might not be able to distinguish it from the real deal. In preparation, we'll provide you with the tire sizes so you can get started: 225/60R16 up front and 255/50R16 in the rear.
