Happy "eBaying"! Paul R. Wankle. Pres. Classic Cars Ltd. Pleasanton. CA 925-846-1451 OVERVIEW We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to drive a wide range of vehicles every day. Over the course of 21+ years. we have driven more cars than we can count ranging from sports cars to high performance cars to exotics and everything in between. However. until we received this Fiero GT. it had been years since we had been behind the wheel of a Fiero. Frankly. it brought back wonderful memories of driving this well balanced. mid engined two-seater. The Fiero offered for sale in this listing is not only a "California Native". but has just 56. 87 one owner miles. It is a pleasure to drive and many of the characteristic weaknesses do not exist with this GT. The car has fully functional lighting systems (including the sometimes problematic front hidden headlights). radio and air conditioning (blows cold & strong). Additionally. as a result of the cars low mileage and recent mechanical attention the car runs and drives like an example that is only a few years old. The engine starts immediately whether cold or warm. has a throaty exhaust note and all of the gauges display acceptable readings. Even the clock works! Finally. in today's market. we believe the Fiero represents an excellent value. The car is available at a fraction of any other car with a mid-engine configuration. 4 wheel disc brakes. V6 engine. 5 speed transmission and a full complement of convenience and performance options. We ask that you review our detailed description (below) and let us know if we can answer any questions regarding the car. DETAILS THIS 1988 PONTIAC FIERO GT If you want the fun of driving a low mileage. mid-engine. V6. 5-speed sporty car at a very affordable price. then this 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT is for you! The 1988 model is undeniably the best (and last) of the Fiero model years. correcting most of the flaws of earlier models. This example is a one owner. accident free. totally unmodified California survivor. Today. the Fiero GT is regarded as a collector car. Only 6. 49 GT's were made in the 1988 model year. HISTORY This car has spent its entire life in California with a single owner. It has been driven a total of 56. 87 miles which is stated as actual by the original owner. Every part of the car supports the low mileage including but not limited to: the pedals (showing virtually no wear). excellent dash. door panels & rubber trim & 100% original components. However. for all vehicles older than 15 years. we use the classification of "TMU" (Total Miles Unknown). About one year ago. the Fiero was removed from storage after not being driven regularly for a time and over $1. 00. 00 was invested to bring the car into excellent operating condition. In addition to a tune-up. service. and a new battery. a new catalytic converter was installed. The Fiero passed the stringent California smog test with no problem.

However. there is some minor peeling on the roof at the forward corners of the sunroof that has been touched up with matching paint. Also present is very common peeling above the rear license plate on the flexible rear bumper from a minor scrape (touched up with similar color paint) and minor "crazing" in the flexible nose piece. The black body side moulding has prevented door dings from adjacent parked cars. As from the factory. the Fiero has no stainless or chrome trim whatsoever. All 4 wheels are in nice shape with the honeycomb area black and the surrounding flange silver. There is no curb rash on the wheels. The gray interior is factory original and in unusually nice condition for a 27 year old car. This is. in part. due to the use of seat covers and a dash pad for most of its life coupled with the cars limited exposure to the sun. The storage area aft of the engine appears like new. The engine compartment is very clean and free from grease and dirt. The front compartment is all original including the original spare and s storage bag for the removable roof panel. The underside of the car is not detailed but most important. remains "California clean" and free from rust. The car also does not leak fluids.

The Fiero was the first two-seater Pontiac since the 1926 to 1938 coupes. and also the first and only mass-produced mid-engine sports car by a U. S. manufacturer. Many technologies incorporated in the Fiero design such as plastic body panels were radical for its time. Other features included hidden headlamps. A total of 370. 68 Fieros were produced over the relatively short production run of five years. The word "fiero" means "proud" in Italian. and "wild". "fierce". or "ferocious" in Spanish. The Fiero was on "Car and Driver" magazine's Ten Best list for 1984. The 1984 Fiero was the Official Pace Car of the 1984 Indianapolis 500. beating out the new C4 Corvette. Model year 1988 marked the end of production for the Pontiac Fiero and is considered to be the best Fiero ever produced. Improvements to the suspension. brakes. steering and engine took the car to a level far beyond the early models. A total of 6. 49 GT models were produced in 1988.
