One of my favorite Fieros of all time is the 85 GT! Not really sure why, just something about the thought of a TRUE notchie GT. This is where I want to see all of your 85 GT pics! Once I get mine, I will post pics too! Lets see everyone's 85 GT's!

Was a work in progress, a zero option GT with no power anything, originally ordered without a wing from factory - RPO verified it. Odd car.





Used it as a test bed for a few turbo engines before putting the 2.8 back into it. I left the job I was at and had to get rid of the car, parted out what I could and sold the car for next to nothing, I may have even given this one away. Rust had its toll on it as well. I miss the car sometimes, had the strongest running 2.8 I have ever driven, felt as good as the 3.4 I built for my old 88 GT. If you look close enough, you can see the BMW dash board

It started life that way...


The Vin still says 85GT. Does that count?

Actually 85Gt's are my favorite also. If I didnt' need the flat fastback deck for my intake design it would have stayed notchie.

EDIT: Found it! This is the only remaining pic I have with the new wheels and still a notchie...

Taken last year. Still original paint.

I really hope to own an '85 GT someday. It's the only year Fiero I haven't owned. Can't add another Fiero to the stable at the moment though but there's two '85 GTs for sale near me and I can't even touch neither one ...

I had early Camaro tail lights on it, like '68 or '69. Was working on a set of flushmount headlights from a Chrysler Concorde I believe, but didn't get too far. BTW, it is an engine vent from a Shelby Omni GLHS The bov was mounted right underneath it.

I love Jezebel so much.

The only option she didn't come with was rear defrost. Power everything (cept steering:P) and all original (original rims are at the house). The original part is slowly changing. Anything I take off of her gets put up in case the next owner wants to take her back to "all original".


Beautiful never used ashtrays.

Did I mention I love this car, she is broke down right now, and I am about to pull the engine and put a 4.9 in it's place, she can only get better.

85 GT. My first fiero. Just put the 17's on last week. Has every option in the book, minus the spoiler, so I added one.

Just curious, but did you get another decklid to put the spoiler on, or just drill holes in in as it was?

Man, a non-spoiler GT decklid was probably rare. Not that anyone could tell once the GT was taken off.

I punched holes in the non-spoilered decklid. I do have a non-spoiler decklid that I just bought, however that one will get a mustang scoop and spoiler holes too!

Yeah, I know. I fixed it the day after this pic was taken. Had a friend helping me with the car one day. He didn't even realize there was a correct direction. I need to always check his work but at least he's learning.

I have fond memories of this one. Wish I still had it. Sold it before a long distance move. Would like to build another like it, but that may never happen. Dave, hope you don't mind me resurrecting it.

I believe that car is on cardomain.. I think it's called red devil or red demon.. I may be wrong tho, just looks like it

lucky for u it doesn't rly look like all that much work.. Side scoops, decklid scoop, cut out center thing in front bumper and add mesh, rims, and a factory or candy red paint job with a few coats of gloss.. Did I miss anything?

May she rest in piece, found several cracks in the frame and was dismantled.



However doors, most of the body, the interior and drive train live on here. However I am still considering taking a sawzall to the fastback clip and turning it back into a Notchback. The paint scheme will be duplicated to what my 85GT was. Black with white trim.
