I bought my 2nd Fiero and look what I found. I have not seen one of these in any car much less a Fiero. Its not the owners manual its a Pontiac Fiero Do It Yourself Manual.

I found one once behind the seat of a junkyard car. I thought it was pretty cool.

It's beyond useless. They're cheap to buy though, 5-10 bucks.

I'd be interested in checking that out sometime. Might have to hook me up when I get down there to K-Town... I'd like to see it scanned in and available on the forums as well, if for no other reason that a general reference.

My GT had both the owners manual and the DIY manual in the console compartment when I bought it. Both are still in perfect condition.

You can find them all scanned here.

I would say that likely the most difficult to find ones would be the '84 booklets intact. They came in a spiral-bound book that was very fragile (looked like a common school notebook, just smaller). The DIY section is built into the spiral and not separate like later years. There's also three other booklets that fit into pockets of the spiral and one has the original owner's information typed onto it (this would be on every one of the booklets, since the dealer typed it up). Additionally, when recalls were performed, the dealer would stick overlay stickers over the capacities for the recall. I have one of these booklets with the recall stickers, but unfortunately the cover separated from the spiral, but the rest of it is still there including all sorts of memorabilia booklets from '84. I've considered scanning it at some point just for the sake of showing a small way dealers handled recalls.

Both my '84 and my '86 came with owners manuals and DIY booklets. I found the DIYs interesting enough for one read each, never re-opened either one.
