Some friends went to the Hollister Independence Day Motorcycle Rally in Hollister, CA. On their way home, they came across this and took a few pictures. I have seen these on the net, but really....What a waste of a Fiero
You know, I've never seen one of these car/bike things with any other car. That may be because this is a Fiero forum, but I have seen at least a half dozen of them using a Fiero. I just don't get it.

why a waste? it could have been wrecked or something. or i could even see someone intentionaly doing it, because i have seen another car done this way quite a few times. old volkswagon beatles. the same as fieros have become as common as volkswagons were for kit cars, the rear engine configuration lends it's self to trike projects.

They all must think the Fiero is not worth keeping as a car.

I saw a picture of a white one on the net about 2 years ago that was done very well. The front end was like a Honda Goldwing. I cann't find it now. I don't know why you would do this.

Think about it. These bikes probably use the Fiero drivetrain. Not many small mid or rear-engined cars to choose from, and if you want it to be American made, then it has to be a Fiero. The one on this thread is the first one I've ever seen that I actually like. Hopefully, it was made from an already wrecked Fiero.
... and if you want it to be American made, then it has to be a Fiero.
You're forgetting the rear-engined Corvair, made by Chevrolet in the ‘60s. I don't recall seeing a picture of one of those made into a trike, but I'm sure someone's done it!

Has anyone saw a Fiero turned into something more useful than a dumbcycle. A boat, an airplane, or flower pot or perhaps? Hey! isn't the windup Fiero guy Jerry Garcia?
