Not only is the subject from Georgia, he pulled a Christmas Vacation with his Fiero (near the end of the article).

And this one.

Maybe I saw a Fiero.  A guy told me he had a 1983 Fiero, one of the first made.  I looked at it.  Whatever it was, it now has a 1990's Firebird interior, complete with back seats.  The complete interior.  It has a power sunroof.

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.

I encountered this guy at a gas station.  He was interested in joining a club, but didn't know of any.


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.

While on my way to a client's place, I thought I saw a Fiero, but I was running behind schedule.  Not late, just behind where I wanted to be.  Anyway, I continued, and parked.  This particular place is near a restaurant, and I parked in a public lot.  Parking is always difficult, so I had to run to the client's place.

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..."

Saw a white GT today on my way home from work.
Gave him the thumbs-up. 

Saw the neighborhood he turned into.  Guess I'll be taking the long way home for awhile.

Two, or one, red Fiero Formula(s) in Southeast Flint.  Spotted one on my way to White Castle parked at a garage.  Spotted the other/same one after we ate driving along with a happy driver.

I saw a black pre-'88 notchie heading West on I-80.  About 9:07 last night.  This notchie was riding comfortably on a car transport, in the middle of the top row.
