DESCRIPTION
1988 Pontiac Fiero GT Coupe
For consignment, a 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT coupe with a title verified 79,206 actual miles. Of the 26,402 Fiero\'s produced in 1988, only about 6,800 were GT\'s and half of those had an automatic transmission. 3,812 of the GT\'s had a sunroof.
Exterior
Repainted by a previous owner in Medium Blue Metallic making this unique as blue was not an option in \'88. Inset marker lights front an aerodynamic nose where pop up headlights maintain constant airstream flowing back to a steeply raked windshield, then sailing over the rear window which is framed in fastback style side windows that create transparent flying buttresses around the vertical rear window. Further out back, Pontiac continues its tradition of smoked tail lights and expansive light bars by illuminating the make name in the center section, and if you were a kid in the 80\'s, this was as cool as it got. Big quad exhaust tips also pump up the raciness of the sports wedge and a rear wing brings it to the next level.15-inch lace style wheels carry slightly staggered size tires and the sunroof takes up a good part of the roof\'s real estate. Imperfections include some varying shades of blue, chipped and cracking paint throughout, bubbling, inclusions, scratches, spots of failing clear, scuffs on the rocker, delamination of the smoke on the rear lens, flex cracks, and chin scrapes.
Interior
The door panels begin with gray plastic uppers over carpeted kick panels that accommodate storage pockets and both present cleanly. A bit of patina is also seen in the cloth bucket seats which are in overall good condition and provide sporty side support. A sport steering wheel presents to the driver in front of the instrument cluster that is quintessentially 80\'s, with a textured gray faceplate over gauges and a series of idiot lights arranged like some kind of early computer schematic. The center stack contains a few square gauges over the A/C panel and aftermarket AM/FM/CD radio. The flat and square center console houses the shifter, a stout T-shaped affair with a leatherette boot showing a touch of age, followed by some weathered window switches and side mirror controller and added cup holder. The gray loop carpet is in good shape, the headliner around the sunroof is nice, and the visor shows some looseness, not uncommon for the era\'s cars.
Drivetrain
Behind the rear glass is the hatch to the engine and within is a 2.8 liter V6 that is fuel injected and rated at 165 horsepower. It makes quite a statement with its red plenum and valve covers in a clean engine bay! This one is backed by a TH125 3-speed automatic transmission sending power to the rear axle and 3.33 gears. Power brakes and air conditioning are on board. There\'s a finished compartment behind the engine for storage showing a few rust stains but otherwise clean and intact.
Undercarriage
Plenty of surface rust and patina on this well loved car and some residual oil, but overall structurally sound and lacking build up or dirt. The single exhaust finds its way to a glasspack style muffler that sends out two tail pipes that turn into four impressive exhaust polished tips. Front and rear suspension is independent and consists of coil springs and power disc brakes occupy all four wheels.
Drive-Ability
The little V6 comes to life with a nice exhaust note and off we go onto the test loop where the car exhibits good power, certainly a bit more than previous Fiero generations. It also handles well and tracks straight. Demerits are awarded for the power locks that don\'t work, the power mirrors that only move down, the passenger\'s headlight motor that only open the lights partially, and the incorrect tachometer which reads below zero at idle. Beyond these items, all functions on GM\'s original mid-engine sports car 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.
Ferrari has the prancing horse, Porsche features a stallion on their crest, Mustang\'s horse is running across the grille, but the Fiero logo has a horse with wings and depicted from above is a clear nod to the screaming eagle of the Trans Am. Truth be told, Pegasus was one of the working names used by Pontiac before they decided on Fiero, which means very proud. And you\'ll be proud to own this uniquely colored example of the increasingly desirable Fiero GT!
