A Fiero rebody with a carbureted iron block V8 engine may not generate a lot of interest but the owner has probably invested quite heavily in this car. May have been an Archie creation.

Yeah but I mean the rarity of that interior kit alone. It's just cool to see them out in the wild still.

That is not a bad looking car. I like everything about it except the headlights. Looks to be a great deal honestly.

It actually WAS his car. I reached out to Andrew and just got an email from him regarding this. This is what the car looked like when he had it.


He may join in and post more pictures.

Looks much better with the headlight covers, the black eye treatment is not flattering.

I was never a fan of rebodies, I think the Fiero looks unique enough anyway.
But if you throw in the interior, the engine swap as well as the body swap, that's a darn good deal at that price, considering people seem to want 5k for junk these days.

------------------
Anything I might say is probably worth what you paid for it, so treat it accordingly!

with the headlight covers it looks like someone smashed the hood of a 3rd gen Mitsubishi eclipse. interesting and unique design nonetheless but not for me.

It's hard to imagine that this much fender wheel well height was intended as part of the original design. Was it built from a concept sketch but the physical car platform forced proportion changes?

A lot of work and money was put into this kit car to arrive at something far less attractive than a stock Fiero. It looks like an inflated old Miata. IMO, this is what happens when you draw a car and then try to squeeze it on a Fiero frame. To my eyes the Pontiac Fiero is almost a timeless design, I just made minor changes to the taillight panel and am very happy with the stock look.

Hi! Yes, that's my old Finiero, but she sure looks different now! Miss you guys! Wish I could find the right car down here in FL now. Still have an attic full of old parts!
