Brand new 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT on sale, just $35k!

So you're a Pontiac diehard, but you don't need the space of the G8 GT GXP and the Solstice GXP is just a bit too "me too." So what's a Big Chief enthusiast to do? Well, if you've got $35,000 kicking around in your automotive slush fund, how about a brand-new, never-titled 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT? The mid-engined, V6 Fiero that General Motors should have been building the whole time, but only got around to developing just before they sent they took the plastic-bodied model out back? Yes, that GT.
Evidently thinking ahead, some enterprising chap found a fire-engine red example and promptly mothballed it. Quite likely the only "brand new" Fiero on the planet (GT or otherwise), this time warp rear-driver has just 221 miles on it, and is still on MSO. Heck, we're willing to bet that the cassette player has never even seen a copy of White Snake's Greatest Hits!
If you're interested, the optimistically-priced but irreplacable Fiero can be found at Hinton Chevrolet-Buick in Lynden, Washington. Thanks for the tip, Farris!

Drop in a new DI 3.6 L V-6 w/ 6 speed transaxle and I will take it. That would be sweet.

Exactly what I was thinking. Ten years ago, I'd have said, "Drop in a Quad 4".

An LNF Ecotec would do nicely too.

Pretty cool. I always liked the GT version.
There was one that got passed around my high school for about 12 years. It would get sold when the owner graduated. I am sure it was a total turd by the end but it was freaking sweet in HS.

Dear Wannabe-Fierrari-Maker,
You can get an old Ferrari for $35K, leave this Fiero alone.

I love it, but he'd be lucky to get 15k at the auctions.

This is the first Fiero in a long time I've seen that wasn't chopped or stretch and fiberglassed into something else. And I dig the GT.

My dad had the notchback GT when I was in high school. I dreamed about this blood-red fastback with the black wheels. In 1988 this was pure magic for me until I took it out one night and blew up the motor.

It has the right suspension, too bad it's got a 3 speed automatic.

Yep, too bad they waited so long to put decent front and rear suspension under it.

That is one stunning Fiero! This one really does belong in a museum somewhere. Absolutely beautiful!

I second the notion of a DI V6 transplant with a manual. fun times!
Underrated and ignored, always one of my favorite designs as a youngster...
