Was wondering, what was the rarest option one could order for the Fiero ?

(By rarest, I mean selected the least, aka, not on many cars)

My guess is : KO5 Heater, engine block

Also saw somthing about a lock for the fuel door ? Not sure that existed.

(NN7 Fuel filter door, delete lock )

Anyone have an idea what this was ? D42 Engine Compartment Screen (84) ?

Also found a site that claims these paint codes were available ?

22 Lt. Sapphire Blue Metallic
27 Med. Sapphire Blue Metallic

(23 Bt. Blue Metallic is the valid blue I know of)

Any ideas ?

I think the D42 was the engine sun shade. If I remember right, when the decklid was open, you could pull a fabric shade down from the lid and clip it into place by the trunk. As far as I know, it was an 84 only option, and I've never seen one in person. I have a picture of it somewhere, I'll post it if I can find it.

I would imagine you're right, that KO5 option would be pretty scarce.

Electric power steering. IMS, there were something like three cars sold with this option.

The rubberband on the jack.

------------------

LOL I have the rubberband on the jack!!

Howabout a luggage rack on a fastback?

that would be V58 (for the 86 GTs) and V56 (for 87 - 88 GTs).

Hmmm, That is rare ! I would have thought that would look weird, but looks fine on your car

Sheep skin leather in an '84
i have the rubberband, but no jack

how about the sunshade for the rear engine compartment, ive seen them in an 84 Broshure, but NEVER on a car

or leather in 85-87 thats not too common

abuddy had a dealer installed Cell phone in his 86GT, which suposidly became in option in 87
86se with a Getreg its not too uncommon to see them in 86GT's, but ive seen a white 86se with a 5 speed Getreg

Wonder if that would leave the speakers & wire harness off ?

I had an 88cpe with no Tilt. Until I added it! It was really a PITA to get in/out with no tilt. Even my striped down base model 84 came with tilt. I have no idea why my 88 with AC didnt!

Radio delete still came with the stock crappy speakers and wiring. Although I did hear something floating around here about a seat with the speakers in the headrest missing.

Huh?

I have some original leather/suede Fiero seats. They wear just like the cloth ones too.

In 1992, I bought an 85 SE V6. It had the holes in the headrest for the speakers, but no speakers inside. The seats had no wiring harness either.

Id guess either the electric PS myself. I saw a black GT at a show once that had newspaper and magazine literature displayed with it that it was one of a few with an OEM turbo V6. It wasnt clear whether that was supposed to be Factory or Dealer installed, but it was listed on window sticker when sold new. I saw the sticker. Im thinking it was probably the original dealerships aftermarket install before they sold it.

Yep, sail panel speakers and an AM only radio.

Gotta go with Steve on this one. The EHPS was the rarest option.

Another rare item worth mentioning is the Lumbar seat in the 88.

I've only seen one car in the wrecking yard with the Block Heater. Then again I live in California

The optional paint colors were planned for but never impemented in 84. I have some literature that actually shows the samples with projected availability dates that never eventuated.

Here are some links to the paint colors: http://autocolorlibrary.com/cgi-bin/search/searchpic.pl?1984-gm-pg07.jpg http://autocolorlibrary.com/cgi-bin/search/searchpic.pl?1986-gm-pg05.jpg http://autocolorlibrary.com/cgi-bin/search/searchpic.pl?1987-gm-pg05.jpg http://autocolorlibrary.com/cgi-bin/search/searchpic.pl?1988-gm-pg04.jpg

For some reason the 85 year was missing.

I saw one of these at Harry's U Pull It in Pennsburg PA. It was on an 86 GT. The luggage rack, not the rubber band

[This message has been edited by foxgapfiero (edited 10-27-2003).]

that front engine option's pretty rare lol
Hellfish87GT has a fastback with a luggage rack but yeah they are pretty rare.
What about the Fiero Luggage? I guess it wasn't really an option but you could buy it at the dealership right? I dont think many people ever bought the Fiero luggage

------------------

My 86 Gold GT had the luggage rack and the leather interior. Impressed?

here's some pics from the 84 brochure I have, the seats and the Fiero luggage

My first Fiero didnt have a Jack either. It made me really mad. It really got me pissed off when I got a flat with no Jack and the crow bar wouldnt fit my Lugs.

The lumbar is pretty rare. I havent seen to many with the rear defroster, kinda of a wasted option with all that engine heat.

I have the defroster which is the most useless option in my opinion and the KO5 engine block heater. '86 SE V6

i was about to say, u guys forgetting the window defroster??? lol my 88 had a rear window defroster but never fogged up or got frosted anyways the only way to make it work was you had to have you front window defroster on, there was no other button for the rear window defrost lol

my fiero also had the 3.5 speakers in the headrest!! but i guess cause the previous owner installed them.

And i notice something weird about fieros, mine came with the radio equalizer but my 4x10's speakers were 10ohm speakers, and paper cone and foam surrounds!! pretty amazing for equalizer stereo.

As far as I know the engine cover shade never made production. I have seen all the options that have been mentioned but for this one. The sheep wool seats are very rare and even more rare in good conditon today.
The high mileage option on the 1984 coupe that was to get 50 mph with gearing that would hardly pull the car from a stop.I don't know the option number but recall being told they only made a few. [less than 10?].
Also rear defoggers in Ohio are a dime a dozen, I see quite a few here. They definitly an option that was never used.
The export option is one our friends from Canada see often but in the states they are rare. The only diffrence is a metric dash. How many have seen a 180km/h speedo in the states?

exactly how rare are these sheep wool 1984 seats? because i know of a guy who has an 84 SE black with tan interior and those sheep seats. this car is like mint, it have 60k miles on it. im wondering if i should go buy it...

I live in the frozen tundra near Duluth, MN and have seen quite a few with the block heater . I never checked the codes to see whether it was factory installed or not. I have also seen quite a few Fieros around here with the rear windows defogger. In someone wants one there is a Fiero at Chesney's Auto Salvage near Duluth, MN. There is also an 85 SE there with a V-6 still intact. Also a decent SE nose and rear fascia. They have scrapped quite a few of there Fieros thoough in the last year or so...

I have a dealer installed luggage rack on my GT

I've never seen another one like I have.

Well thats extremely interesting. Did you put the wing on yourself or did it come with the wing and luggage rack?

I got it with the wing and the rack. I have all the papers from the day the car was first sold and the rack appears to have been installed by the dealer.

I saw an 88 GT with factory installed driving lights. The defrost switch had to be deleted to allow the factory driving light switch in its place.

Is the K05 Heater, Engine Block a block heater? If this is so then that is definetly not a rare option is it? I've almost never seen a fiero without it.

Not too many sold here in Texas with engine block heater, I'm 0/4 (and one is a New York car)
