1985 Pontiac Fiero GT 73439 Miles Silver Fastback 2.8 Liter 3 Speed Automatic

1985 Pontiac Fiero GT Additional Info:

Fiero means "Very Proud" in Italian. And Pontiac should be proud of this car. Why did they stop making it? It's a fun to drive, mid-engine sports car, built right here in America! Pontiac's slogan at the time was, "We build excitement"! And this Fiero GT V6 has it. The body of this car was groundbreaking. It was light, made of Sheet Molded Composite, or SMC, that resists dents and dings, and would reappear later on Saturns. The aero bodywork... of this model was developed for the special edition, 1984 Indy Pace car, and then produced in '85 as a GT, without the Pace Car stickers. This one is presented in a nice shade of silver with a complimentary gray for the lower aero treatments. The front of the car reaches low for the ground with fog lights tucked into the molded front bumper, and hideaway headlights roll back into the hood while not in use. Rocker panel extensions help keep air from getting under the car at speed, and a rear diffuser with quad tailpipes gets the air out while minimizing drag. GT and V6 badges adorn the hood, side windows, and trunk. There is a power bulge on engine lid making room for that V6, and the car sits on lattice style alloy wheels. Open the door and you will find a nicely optioned, two-tone gray interior that is neat and clean, and in very good condition. Have a seat in the contoured buckets that are both comfortable and supportive. You can rest your arms comfortably on the center console and the well-placed arm rest on the door panel. The leather wrapped steering wheel feels good in your hands, with the speedo, tach, and gauges easily visible through it. There are power windows, mirrors, locks, tilt, cruise and A/C for your comfort and convenience. A large sunroof lets the light in, and the air flow through, on those nice rides in the country. The center console has the ventilation controls sitting just above the Clarion stereo system which uniquely pumps out sound through speakers mounted in the headrests of the seats. The leather wrapped T-handle shifter for the automatic transmission falls easily to hand with the window and mirror controls at your fingertips just behind it. Pop the hood, (the one behind the seats), and you will find a fuel injected, 2.8-liter, 60-degree V6, that pumps out 140 horsepower and 170 ft pounds of torque. This engine addressed the complaints of low power from the 4-cylinder engine that the car was first introduced with, and makes this light little car, pretty darn fast. Even the 4-cylinder cars were praised for their handling capabilities, and Pontiac upped the game with the GT by re-tuning the suspension with a revised geometry, heavier spring rates, revalved shocks, and more suspension travel. Power front disc brakes assure you that you can get this car hauled back down from speed between the corners, and 185/65R14 tires all around are mounted on those lattice style wheels. This car is a blast to drive! Pontiac built the excitement into it. Come on down and check out this fun little car. It could become yours.
