When you want that supercar feeling, but will have to settle for an economical Fiero GT Sport Spyder.
Building a twin turbo V8 that revs to ten, takes some work, planning and discriminating parts selection.

I'll refine it a little more later.
Stretched wheelbase about 4", 100mm.

Once the cover had been lifted, the Turbo Sport Spyder's paint looked good, other than a few tiny chips on the nose.
I thought a few laps would warm the tires, then, I would enjoy it's speed.

Every time I come back to look at this shape, the more I like it.
Have a few mods in mind.

Design features Fiero sculptors had seen.

So, a custom Fiero that has retro features, an elegant new suit from the Continent.

Plaid inserts in the seats ?
Oh ! So very nice. Has anyone installed these custom seats into their Fiero ?
A Tartan weave for subtle fashion. Yeah.

quote Originally posted by Patrick: Someone at the site asked for a "rough estimate of the 0-60 time". With a duke a 3-spd auto, I'd say about an hour and a half.

I was looking for the key sentence in that auction and that is "no roof is provided" so basically you can never drive this in bad weather and if you do, prepare to get drenched. Also the fact that the roof has been cut off, they state that the frame has been reinforced yet notice the door sag on both doors when they are closed. This might be one of those cars you admire from afar

Had to do some research on this one and found one for sale for $15,000 which isn't bad. I wouldn't mind owning one of these but I would imagine parts would be impossible to find, or maybe not.

15K, that's reasonably priced, depending on condition.
The designs of both the Bitter CD and the earlier Maserati Ghibli were surely inspirational to the artists of the Fiero.
The 60s, the era of simple surfaces and the wedges, subtle curvatures, loved to this day.
As a beginning, transplanting a modern LS + 6L80 would enhance the performance and fuel mileage.
A four seat Fiero from the 70s.

Difficult to buy in for less, attempting a stretched wheelbase Fiero, a complete rebody, looking a lot like a Bitter.
Economical elegance, daily driven.

Strangely, I didn't look it up.

They are all now quite in demand, and, priced accordingly.


Bitter CD.. Driven. Some unusual synth pop soundtrack.
