That Zimmer Quicksiilver was one weird looking automobile. Reminds me of a two seat mid 80's Chrysler and those garish chrome bumpers!!!!. I thought that chromed metal bumpers died out in the 80's The Zimmer was an interesting car for sure; a body size for four but it only seated two. A 3600 lb 2.8L auto, extended custom bodied Fiero designed exclusively for pimps. With a long heavy body, power steering and a small 2.8L, performance had to be very weak. The best part were that these things cost $38K new. If you decide to buy one, don't forget the black hat with the white feather?

I'd love to have one. It's about the only kind of Fiero that I've never owned. I could have bought one about 6 years ago when I was in CA, but it wasn't in the shape I wanted. But it sold for just $5500. Looking at the prices on these, I wish I'd just bought it and done the work to fix it up.

This car is an oddity and a fascinating take on a Fiero re-body. I saw one at Daytona years ago and it was in tip top shape. The car has a unique appeal and only a few hundred were ever built. It is a rare automobile but if you choose to buy one; in case of even a minor accident body parts are nearly impossible to find..

I kinda figure it's the same reason I've had three Indys. When all is said and done, it's just an 84 SE with pretty seats and stripes. But because it is a bit of a rarity in the Fiero world, I've wanted to own them. Same with the T-top cars I've had. It's just a different Fiero to own. That's why they make so many variations in things. We all have our reasons for things we like and dislike.

I always thought the Zimmer got it's Neo-classic styling cues from the Stutz Blackhawk. They took Pontiac Grand Prix and turned them into Neo-classics. Not for everyone. But it would sure get you some attention and make people wonder WTH it is.
