I was at a local CarsNCoffee this morning and I ran across a 68-69 Camaro that clearly had Fiero seats in it.
Feel free to post pics of Fiero parts that you have seen on a non-Fiero. Kit

There used to be guy a few blocks from my house that had an orange 69-70 Roadrunner with Fiero seats as well and he loved them!
Also, there was a guy in our club that put Fiero β€œlace” wheels on his VW Jetta. I’d never seen that before! πŸ˜€

First off, that is a really nice Camaro....Second, the one thing that was always rated highly on our Fieros were the seats- I actually saw A Jetta that had the Recaro seat- talked to the guy and then we each sat in the other's car...we came to the conclusion that it was a "Toss-up" as to which seats were best...

Back from 1990 to 1999, I had a '73 Mach 1 that I did all kinds of mods to- 5.0 FI engine, 4 spd auto tans, Cougar dash, crazy suspension mods for handling...and also .>>>Fiero seats...Had a guy recover them....I also modded a Fiero V6 air filter to handle 2 6000 filters stacked on top of each other...Here is a combo pic;

The seats are very popular as they are comfortable and fit many cars. Especially street rods.

Back in the day the wings were being stolen at put on many other cars.

Nothing new.

Many times the seats will have the headrest removed to use in vintage sports cars like Cobra kits.

Wonder where the owner got the material for the rear seats. It appears to be a perfect match to the front seats.

A bit. But the 69 Trans Am had a similar spoiler. Would probably fit better than ours.

About 21-22 years ago... I remember visiting in the keys, and I saw a Honda Civic with an off-color Pontiac Fiero spoiler mounted to the trunk. The kid was driving around, stereo blasting, trying to get attention.

Later, I took my rental car and was staying at the Sheraton... or the Marriott... whichever one has the parking garage, and there was a Pontiac Fiero (85 GT) that clearly had been abandoned for 6 months or more (covered in a layer of dust / dirt) ... with the spoiler missing. The Fiero was the exact same color as the spoiler that was on the Honda Civic.

Go figure...

Fiero V6 valve covers are sometimes swapped into Camaros, Firebirds and/or anything else that used the "regular" plain 2.8 valve covers. For awhile, I had an S-10 pickup and I always wanted to put Fiero valve covers on it but never got around to it.

Best example of this I ever saw was a small British car (Triumph? MG? I don't remember) that had the 2.8 (or 3.4), and it had Fiero valve covers and it had the later-style fuel rail like what came in the 4th Gen Camaro. I commented on the Fiero valve covers, and the owner said "You have a sharp eye my friend! People always ask what those are!" Well, I have a Fiero, so there is some familiarity...

Pretty much all the front suspension of an '84-'87 can be found on every Opel Ascona, Holden Gemini and Vauxhall Astra from the '70s.
There are the inner door handles, lock switches and side mirrors that are on the 3rd gen Firebirds/Camaros.
And yes, I've seen an MGB GT with a couple of our seats!

Years ago while scanning local used car personal sale ads, I'd see from time to time fox-body Mustangs for sale with Fiero seats swapped in as a seat-upgrade.
I personally like Fiero seats.

Best I can make out, it looks like he might have also used a pair of Fiero seats in the rear. I can make out the leather stripe on both.
