Came out of the movies...to my suprise...A white, 88 coupe parked next to me.
Had Pontiac 3 spoke wheels on it. It's in good shape.
Left a card, with a note to join us here.

Also Im pretty sure that same guy is the one ripping apart Fiero's in my usual junkyard using a crowbar instead of actually unbolting things -_- grrrr..... Not surprising though considering I had to teach him that the sunroof could be opened and how to do it......
:'( Sorry I seem to have ranted...
OH! I also believe (unsure since it was just a glimpse) I saw a blue 87 fastback in Griffin when coming home from classes one day, had a flame job on the front end and some kind of strange wing on the back.....Like a short arch, tried to catch up to it to make sure it was a Fiero but the stoplight didnt change fast enough >.< did'nt seem to be a rice-rocket though, stock wheels and the paint was actually really well done from the looks of it.
Post by: Fierofool on July 22, 2009, 07:49:49 am
The wing was a low, flat wing that had an arch from side to side? I'll send you 2 pictures, since I can't post a picture here.

yesterday,i saw the same i see every time i go to cleveland GA, off the side of the road, with a for sale sign in it. it's identical to mine. i believe i emailed this guy back when i was on the hunt for a fiero. he said it had a 3.4L and he wanted $5K for it
It's still there. It's been over a year. AND there was a white base model for sale on the same road.

I saw a black 86 or 87 GT for sale on the side of Hwy 129 about 10 miles south of Cleveland yesterday afternoon. I was taking Linda to her sister's house. I was going to check it out on the way back, but I didn't see it again.
that's the one i've been seeing. it's been there a long time. I believe I found a listing for it and inquired about it back when i was on the hunt a fiero. if is the same one, then it has a 3.4L and I believe he is asking around $5K for it. evertime i see it, i wish was driving mine so i could pull beside a take picture.

It's all wrong though, The package says "1984 Pontiac Fiero"
It has a wing...it's yellow...it has the '88 front nose but the old style wheels.
It has a plaque on the back:
1984 PONTIAC FIERO
The 1984 Pontiac Fiero was the first two-seater car made by Pontiac since the coupes of the late 20's and early 30's. The Fiero was originally marketed as a fuel-efficient commuter car, due to it's size and modest engine - a 2.5: I4. However, the public saw this car as more of a sport coupe, for the nearly 137,000 Fieros sold that year, only about 7,000 were base models. All the others were Sport, SE, and Indy models that were based on the prestigious pace cars used at the Indianapolis 500.

Yesterday as I parked at Kohl's to exchange a pair of wrong-size pants, a lady parked beside me that was almost a dead ringer for Rosy Parks. She said "Hi!", and then said "Nice car!". Her accent was about the same as Rosy's too. But it wasn't her -- she was driving an older, kind-of beat up Honda.
Does Rosy have a sister?

i caught a glimpse of a lambo countach in a shop in downtown cumming. could have been either a kit or the real thing. it had the deck lid and driver door open. the door was vertical. i would think someone owning a real countach would not take it to such a small, kind of shadetree shop, but i could be wrong
i got to take a couples of it today.
looks to be a real one. some days its there, some its not. may be the owner of the shop

i talked briefly to a guy with a silver 87 GT 4spd. He pulled off atlanta hwy in the alpharetta area.
Are you sure it was an 87? Unless it's been converted, a 4 speed should be an 86.
Ray and I have been chasing a nice 85SE that lives here close to us, but he disappears before we can get turned around and catch up to him.

It has a wing and painted wheels. Looks to have fresh paint. Nice car from what I've seen. Pass it most every day on the way home from work.
I've thought about stopping in, but my Fiero is OOS for a bit. Driving anything else, I'd just be some crazy old guy. :D
Also, I saw a white notchie parked at the convenience store at the corner of McKown Rd and Riley Rd.
Only saw it that one time.

Fiero Spotters Guide: The 85GT and 86/87 SE's are often confused. The 85GT had silver lower aero trim. The 86SE shared the same body, but the lower aero trim was charcoal. Aside from the model designation on the quarterwindows, the 85GT was badged with FieroGT on the right rear of the engine cover. The 86 and 87 SE had SE quarterwindows and was badged 2m4 or 2m6 on the right rear of the engine cover, depending upon the engine fitment. All versions had dual exhaust with quad tips.

It's a place in cumming callled No Longer Bound Ministries. phone: 678.679.1171 email: cars4recovery@nolongerbound.com address: 2725 Pine Grove Road Cumming, GA 30041Just a side note(s) on that car: It only has the rear IMSA piece - the front is stock (except for the spoiler). The roofs have been molded together - not good. Also, it appears that the rear bumper where it's molded together is cracking out...

Andy, I encountered one fitting that description over in Canton a year or so ago. Older fellow and the car was in pretty bad shape. Really dirty.

You know that one. LOL!. I was fixing my rentals hand rails.

My home computer is still down, so I'm borrowing one to post this message. As soon as mine is restored, I will post some photos of him and his car.
We had a good chat, and I encouraged him to come out to another one of our meetings.

White fastback on Queen City Pkwy, crossing Jesse Jewell Pkwy, headed toward Dawsonville.
Post by: Donster on November 15, 2011, 02:34:54 pm
Gold fastback being sold as I got there. Traded hands from a young black man to a gentleman who stated he already reached out to somebody from the club
Gave him one of our cards anyway. Didn't have time to really talk as I was on my way to a meeting

Topnotch, is that your yellow and black striped fiero you are talking about or do you have another yellow one? I found the East Tennessee Fiero club website again and they have a new forum. Tried to join and could not get on. Reading thru the posts it looks like a lotta drama and people getting banned and whatnot so maybe it is for the best. Sure wish that the East Tennessee forum was as active and friendly as this and pennocks forum. I was not a member there for long but I did enjoy the couple times we got together to have dinner and talk Fiero's. Maybe I need to start a club or something...haha My wife just called me and she had to take my son to an interview and she was sitting in my Astro van waiting for him to get finished. She said she looked across the parking lot and saw a white Notchie with a GT wing on it. She called me to tell me about it. I need to make up some Fiero greeting cards and stick them on people's windshields when I see them but I SO seldom see a fiero around here it is kinda pointless. I mean when I was daily driving my GT around the only fiero's I ever saw were a Yellow GT that daily drives the other way and I waved to him as we both went home from work and a red Notchback that sits in front of a guys house not too far from my house. I almost bought another red Notchback from him when he had two of them and he said the other one was his sister's car and she would never sell it. It just sits there and rots in the sun all day every day now. The other Red notchie he eventually sold and now has a pickemuptruck...
Oh well I gotta get out here and get some Tig welding done for a customer. Hope all of you are doing well and enjoying your Fiero's....peace

Yeah I know about Fyre, but he is way up near bristol which is like 2.5 hours from me. He contacted me the other day and I spoke to him about buying his Red GT but it is ALSO an auto car. Fieroandrew is here in maryville and I talk to him from time to time. Derek and his father are up near Bristol too from what I remember and I seldom talk to them. Don't know Daryl I guess he is Rob's brother from the name. There are lots of fiero's around on craigslist but most are either asking a bunch of money and overpriced or they are a piece of junk. I am making it more difficult by wanting a specific set of options I am sure but they are not rare by any stretch. It is too bad Oldone's white 88GT t top car is an auto or I would have already bought it. I do not wish to convert anything either. If it is a GT it will stay a GT and if it is a notch it will stay a notch, same with the tranny.. I will have enough work to do on the car without having to reinvent the wheel. I will get one here soon tho so I hope to be able to cruise with you guys and see you at the monthly get togethers. It seemed like even when I did have the car here and it was running good all of the events centered around driving down to Athens to Rob's shop which is nice but it gets old. I watch Pennocks and there are clubs around that have cool rides and get togethers and I wish there was something like that around here. I organized a little ride back in the spring last year and a couple guys came and we had a blast I really want to do more stuff like that. Not bagging on the club here but I think it needs a shot in the arm or something.
There are so many great roads around here and some cool attractions to see with your car and even car shows every week during the nicer weather months it seems like I would see a lot more activity. Oh well maybe I am just dreaming here again... haha peace

That said, I would buy another one today in a heartbeat.
Huh?
The TV commercials showing the supermodel with the Abarth tattoo is the perfect analogy. The Fiat, she treat you like dirt, but you do -uh not care! She bring uh you back with her racy look and uh feel.
She scorn you, beckon you back, then leave uh you on uh the roadside crying and broke.
But uh you always come uh back!
Particularly if I had $50K to drop on the Fiat-Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari (turbocharged 180 HP, 16v Fiat 500)

He-he-he! I think if the T-tops had been on, the Rock's head would have popped them off at the first bump!
Mrs. FGTB (Ms. 70 Chevelle) has a good friend in Florida who is married to (now a former) police officer in Davie, Fla (a 'burb of Fort Lauderdale), who pulled over Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson for a traffic stop a few years ago.

It must not have an engine -- the front is hanging down.

This evening a guy stopped in front of my house and offered to buy my Fiero. He's a Realtor who was on his way to an appointment and saw my car in the garage. Knew it was an '88 just by looking at it. Knew the white and gold one was an '87 just by the color combo. Etc, etc, etc.

Ron and Paul, thanks for taking the time to come over and meet with us. I wish we had more time to spend with you. You both have some nice cars and it's good to see you use them as your every day car and they are so well kept. Thanks for bringing your friends over, too. If you need any help to find a Fiero for them, let us know. We'd be glad to bring more people into the fold.
Post by: pgackerman on October 02, 2014, 04:06:53 pm
Yeah, the paint job might be from '95. Did the sign say 3k or 300?
I spoke to the guy in the Pawnshop the Fiero was parked by, he said they'd take $2100. This is before I walked over to the car. He also said it works but is way too small.
Funny, I stood over a head taller than him ;)
Post by: pgackerman on October 02, 2014, 04:08:20 pm
Granny, that was referring to the cup holder on the passenger side of the console. But $3000?

The guy you stalked works with the guy at AutoZone who put keyless in my '88. Saw the car at AutoZone today. Didn't meet the driver.
That's weird, he said he works at the hospital, had permits to park and everything. Two jobs? Wow, now i really am stalking....creepy!

Looks like the carpet is good (black), passenger seat and drivers seat aren't bad. They're some kind of vinyl, or leather. There's a rub hole in the drivers side seat in the lumbar. 85mph guages. Smells good inside....not like mold or like it's been sitting.
Post by: Fierofool on January 10, 2016, 12:47:31 pm
If it has a release solenoid for the trunk, the Fastback Formula needs one. Also, if that dash isn't cracked and the knee-knocker vents aren't broken, I'll pay you to get it. The steering wheel, if it's in good shape is a good replacement for the paddle style steering wheels. At least the center horn button is worth getting if it's not buckled.

I've never measured the length. It could be that the tilt column is longer, therefore the wheel isn't sitting as close to the front edge bolster of the seat.

One thing, though.....it's not a Muncie 4speed. It looks weird compared to mine.
Honestly, i can't figure out why it's in the salvage yard. The motor appeared good. Not fiddled with too much and clean. No oil in the tailpipe. Is it possible to bring a car back from the wrecking yard once it's in?

That's an Isuzu 5-speed transmission. It used the same slave cylinder as the 85 and 86 Muncie. The 84 Muncie had an entirely different slave that was used by no other Fiero. You said you got the cables from it, but the cable to transmission mount would be a worthwhile grab, also. You can pop in an 85 Toyota MR2 rebuild kit into the slave and you've got the double seal slave. Cost about $7.00.
Post by: Fierofool on January 12, 2016, 09:01:38 am
The other thing was your question about buying a whole car from the yard. Once it's on the Pull-A-Part yard, it leaves only to go to the crusher. I've already asked at one of the yards down here, and they said they don't sell whole cars.

I called,
Craig, the owner, said he rescued it from a buddy's field. It runs and drives. He knows it's an Indy, but wants to cut it up anyway for the drive train for another (very cool) project. Basically, he wants the running motor, manual gearbox and cradle. He'd be interested in a running manual cradle setup in trade (not sure if that's straight up or partial). He said he's open to the idea of keeping it intact.
One thing that got my attention was that he said he'll scrap the ecm and go carburated. That will be interesting.

First major intersection near my house, a white bumperpad coupe (think it was an 84) turned at the light, going in my direction (north) on 92. I finally caught up with him and followed for a bit, but he never apparently noticed that I was behind him. He turned off, going another direction.

The owner was named Richard Chin (I think, sorry if I got that wrong). He lives in Lawrenceville (small world), but had no idea that there was a Georgia Fiero Club. He had electrical problems (radio cut out, and then car died), and was waiting for a tow truck. I was driving my wife's car and didn't have my tools.
I told him about our meeting, but he also owns a TVR (British sports car), and there's a British sports car meet that same day, so he may not come.

There was a similar Fiero incident one year when a couple from New York was returning from either Daytona or RFTH and hydroplaned beside an 18-wheeler. They ended up under the trailer with the passenger side against the trailer wheels, being dragged up the interstate. The wife was splattered with some glass, but I believe they were otherwise unscathed. The driver didn't know it until another motors flagged him down and he stopped. Strong little cars. Gave Curtis some extra time here.

While on vacation I saw, not 1, not 2, but 3 Fieros (Fieri?).
One was a cheat, since I saw the '84 Indy in Elberton last year when we all met in Toccoa. It's still in the same place. However, it has been joined by a silver Fiero with a wrecked front. The friendly junk yard dogs prevented me from getting close enough to be more precise and my photos stunk.
The third Fiero was a beautiful gold fastback GT with a black racing stripe on 441 in GSMNP in North Carolina. Think it was Wednesday. Anyone know the owner?
Post by: GTRS Fiero on April 20, 2017, 06:55:27 pm
There, one from me. I doubt you'll see this one, so far away, but the owner has been off-roading this poor Fiero. I spoke with him, and this Fiero is being abused. No cap on the coolant reservoir, low on oil, which hasn't been changed, and all the window seals leak.

Medium blue notchie with plywood over the windshield in Raysville, GA.
Raysville is all the location you need since only one road goes through.

No wing. Aftermarket wheels. Mississippi plates.
Post by: GTRS Fiero on June 10, 2017, 08:22:09 pm
Saw this one today:
Burnt orange metallic paint job. Clearly a mask-and-spray job. Lots of overspray (dew wipes, antenna, belt trim, etc), but no runs or thin spots, and the surface seems to have been prepped well. The black ground effects don't look so good. The paint may have been the wrong type of paint.
The windows have tint film. The shift knob (manual) is chrome aftermarket, with black trim. The left fender is pushed in and cracked by the side marker.
Dual exhaust, but no stickers. The sail panels seem to have been painted black. It looked as if there were cheap seat covers in use. The side emblems and the front emblem insert were missing (but it was mostly painted over). I'd suspect a V6. The belt trim is grooved.
Didn't meet the owner or take a closer look.

Today, I saw a white '87 GT broken down on the side of the road. It was on the right shoulder, and I was at highway speed, 3 lanes over, in heavy traffic. I turned around, but it was almost 10 miles to get back to him, with the exit distances and the divided highway. This divided highway is about 30 feet above the ground, with each direction on a different flyover.
The kid was in a bad spot, right as you top the hill, just before an entrance ramp, and where the right lane ended. The shoulder was very narrow.
By the time I got to him, there were 2 COP cars behind him, giving him a bad time about where he was parked. They didn't say a word about my truck, but didn't seem inclined to let me by, until I told them I was a Fiero guy, which somehow made it OK.
This Fiero had aftermarket wheels on it, sequential LED rear turn signals, LED tail and brake lights, and BTR headlights. The intake and valve covers were painted black and leaking oil. The dogbone had been replaced with polyester. It had an aftermarket sunroof and head unit, and someone put a subwoofer in place of the center console. The drip rails were damaged, the truck seal was in tatters, and the rear GT emblem was cracked. It had aftermarket leatherette or vinyl covers on the seats. The glove box was black.
The brake master cylinder had the plastic cover popped open. It seemed that the reservoir was overfilled, but the cover would not snap closed.
The paint looked nice. A few scratches, but no chips, fading, or clearcoat peel. He plans to paint the entire car white...at MAACO. I recommended fixing the leaking sunroof, and the oil and idle issues first. The quarter windows were in perfect condition, but no evidence of green tint, so probably replacements. The tail lights were delaminated, but no chips, cracks, or yellowing.
Apparently, the car sat for a few years before he bought it. It has about 86K on it, now.
This was a 4-speed. Someone installed drilled and slotted rotors.
The car idles very rough. He said he replaced the ignition coil, but I suspect vacuum, spark, or the IAC.
When I got there, he was trying to jack the car up to replace a destroyed read tire. He had no idea about the coolant tubes. I showed him the jack diagram, and made sure he got the car jacked up safely. We used a piece of wood to chock a front wheel. I didn't have any hex wrenches to get the centercap off, nor did he, but the roadside assist guy did. Then, the lug wrench wouldn't fit between the nuts and the wheel. Lots of fun, but the spare is on, and he's on his way.
Nice kid. I mentioned Fierorama to him. We'll see. He did ask about some other events.
EDIT: I did tell him where he could get the trunk seal, the drip rails, the GT emblem, and a replacement side marker, as well as LED side markers.

I believe I saw this one again today. I'll post a pic later, but it was about 10 miles from where I saw it last, heading away. I was in the left lane, and he was in the right lane, but he kept up for 10 or so miles. We both changed highways at the same exit, then I exited, and he continued.

Its more likely they replaced the sails and nose than all the ground effects and related panels.

True, and it certainly isn't a repaint. Someone did a lot of work on the interior, though. The entire center console is painted red.

Nah. Easy to get his attention. Play chicken, or drive right up on his rear bumper.

The first Fiero looked rather nice. It was bright red, with possible black ground effects. I didn't get a good look.

Bit of a sorry state but used for a festival along with a whole troop of ve-hickles. Larry the Bampton Rat does the sound/light and fire display in the evening and only realised this was a Fiero when he took the enjun pic (I obviously haven't trained him well enough yet).
Some vehicles has fantastic engineering.... The Fiero not so much!!

It has a carb'd V8 behind the rear seats. The rear is a hatch, with a glass panel.
The front compartment looks somewhat Fiero. The battery is in front, but not the radiator.
It's rotted to the ground, so I could not see under it. It has maybe ATV radiators in the rear. The fuel fill is in the front.
The guy claims that it did run. Looking at it, I'm not sure it ran in the last 20 years.

Obviously, the luggage rack had been removed, but the holes were not plugged. I could stick my finger into the holes. It is a 4-cylinder, despite the Fiero GT logo, but is is an '85. The wheels and tires are non-stock. The seats have black leather down the center, but cloth on the sides, such as the bolsters. The glove box and door map pockets do not have any Fiero logos on them. The car has a 3-spoke steering wheel, with the Fiero emblem. There is a hood scoop, but it brings air into the spare tire compartment. I don't know what's wrong with the sunroof, but it has a lot of extra rubber pieces, and the wind deflector is non-stock. The exhaust tips had been replaced, one of which is decorative. Obviously the spoiler is non-stock.
It's an automatic.
The paint looks terrible, but he plans to change the rear clip to a fastback, and then show the car.
He was telling me some of the things he's done to the car. Apparently, all warping was fixed by securing the warp in place with a screw. This included the door panel, at the top rear.
It's on the road, being driven, so that counts for something.

When I finished, I walked back to my truck. A Fiero was parked near me. As luck would have it, the owner was eating on the patio nearby, and came over to speak with me. The first words out of his mouth were, "No, you didn't used to know anyone who had one with a V8..."

I saw this 88 again, today. He works in Winder. Stopped and talked with him. It's original except the spoiler. He lives in Athens. Gave him another business card and invited him to come to the meeting this month.
