they were going to try to fake old F-cars??? thats crazy. how do they get the "old" feel/look?

no 308's that i can see. whew....there is a Testarossa, tho


still looks strange. like a GM assenbly plant or something.

i also forgot to disclaim i "do" '87 Meras/Fieros exclusively and really, only the 87 SE's at that. they have the lowest production of Fieros, out of all years or something, RARE!.....

humm! come to think about it, i have only been keeping records for the '87 Meras.
i hope one of you '88 guys are writting down the new '88 Mera VINS, Richard has found? i got no clue.
i have mostly, a partial/whole VIN list for the 1987 Meras. i think i have 10 or so.

1987 Meras-minus Mera X for techinical complications......

7006
7014
7020
7024
7029

*DISCLAIM*
i do however have pictures of all MERA'S that i have seen since March of 2009 to date.
that may yeild something




I'm shocked!!!! You didn't have either of my 87's on your list.
I can also say that all 87 Meras were on the SE body line.
My two 87's are 7035 (I didn't think to look at the build date on the door) But the one that I'm sure will catch your eye is 6325, build of12/86 VIN 1G2PG119XHP226325.
Now you have 12.

how did i miss you??? where would i have gotten this info?? i thought i was dilligent enough...in my quest.
have you posted this information Here in the "Paradise...." thread? between here and My thread i started last year in the Tech section(archived, now) is the source for this list. some off Ebay with E-mail Contact. 1 little thing i may mention...my list does need updating. got lazy in the last 4 months as far as "the Hunt" goes. your cars could be in that.

ohhh..yeah. adding to the list. you have #7035. and what is the Mera # for VIN 6325? the countdown to 88 is on.

sorry i missed you. but it is actually a good thing for the fact "WE" the 87's just got bigger today.
uhhhhh.....i forgot.

ohh yeah.
i got this picture from a Fiero Magazine and it states that the "SE" is a special order.


I so i hope this "special order" thing, to be true.
if not, the Positive Side is that with the low GM prod. number for 1987 Fiero SE's (w/V6) coupled with the idea of 88 V6 SE's turned in to the even more limited Mera SE, if you will, translates into the Rare on top of the Rare...thats the shizznite....
WIN, WIN for me...the collector of the Rare and obscure.....gets me all giddy. happy days...

Dan, can you pm me your e-mail address again? I lost it and not sure if the one that's linked here is the right one. I'll send you something. That is an awesome photo there. What magazine was that from?

Off-topic but related, here's the horn set-up on my 88GT. I would have done it with the Mera, but it already has loud air horns mounted below. I bought them at the local Checker Auto store. Pretty simple wiring, one wire is just grounded to the chassis, and the other wire I tied in to the existing wire in that big loom there on the front left fender. Don't have to worry about a relay, since that it located further North of where I tied into the horn wire. So basically I have two air horns (one is high pitched and one is low), AND the single 88 horn is still wired. It's the perfect setup, seriously, REALLY loud. I consider it paid for itself...used it probably 3-4 times to get other people's attention when they were cutting in front of me (one was a semi that I attempted to overtake on the right).

OK that babble above is only there cuz i found this on Wikipedia......*search*-Pontiac Fiero

1987 production VIN Type Cars produced
1G2PE11R#HP2##### Fiero 23,603
1G2PM11R#HP2##### Fiero Sport 3,135
1G2PF11R#HP2##### Fiero SE (I4) 3,875
1G2PF119#HP2##### Fiero SE (V6)
1G2PG119#HP2##### Fiero GT 15,968
Total production 46,581

they lump the V6 and the 4 banger togeather. i am not sure about the split. maybe 50/50???
i got no guess. i just half it and live on. 1937.5.
i hope there are more of the l4's than the 2.8's.would be killer.

dang, Tommy sneaks in between.....sup T? PM on the way.

the article i think is in "Fiero Owner Magazine" the article is somewhere in this thread somewhere. you and your 35+ pages you.
i think it was from the day. ohhh i will find it. its prolly in the pile with Indy's cars. i Messy. AHHH! here it is.....

Yes. "Fiero Owner Magazine"......bloody 'ell no date....the last yr mentioned in any article is, 1999. so its at least 10 years old.

while prousing my rather large pile i re-found this.....the numbers dont jive, tho....ganked from "Pontiac Fiero Connection" Mag July 1997.



25 1987 SE's
29 1987 GT's
i thought they made mostly GT's then realized that it was a waste. time to remove the extra GT stuff and the such.

One disturbing detail is the "6 on GT platforms" in the 1988 section....truth be told that is the Rarest Fiero. Period!
out of all Fieros.....T tops, yellow as a color....88's with gold wheels....i think, if this 6 -'88 GT is true. that would make it the most unique Fiero out there.....well cept for the 86 Proto. i say this from the opinion of the Most Limited Fiero "Option" out there.
We are a Converision Option like the outsourced T-Tops.....in my opinion only....till proven that is quite boastful, aren't I...
