There was a time that Pontiac, mid-engine, and compact would never be part of the same conversation. After all, between Super Duty Trans-Ams and gargantuan Bonnevilles it would hardly seem plausible. But GM pulled it off, building more than 370,000 such cars from 1984-88. And while that is a pretty big number, very few remain like this pristine 1987 GT version with just 9,987 miles!

This car is a true time capsule and a tribute to a design that looks even better today than it did 40 years ago. It has a clean history that shows 30 years with its original owner in New York where it accumulated 7,949 miles. The Bright Silver Metallic paint looks great and is nicely accented by the black trim and Medium Gray Metallic lower sections. As a GT this Fiero also has the aero nose, rear wing, extended rocker panels, and flying buttress bodywork. Other features include a factory sunroof and quad exhaust outlets. Note this car also received a Rusty Jones rustproofing treatment with the original decal still in place. The factory 15 cast aluminum wheels show some age while wearing BF Goodrich tires from 2017.

Power comes from the optional 2.8-liter V6 paired mated to a three-speed automatic transaxle. This engine features an iron block with aluminum heads, an aluminum intake manifold, and electronic fuel injection. Its 135hp rating may be tame by todays standards, but this represented a 40% increase over the base 2.5L 4-cylinder. The manual rack and pinion steering is effective given the cars mid-engine arrangement, while the power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes make things easy to stop. Everything is in good mechanical condition.

Looking inside this Fiero continues the trip through time. The Pallex gray cloth interior is truly amazing with excellent seat upholstery, door panels, and carpet. Some slight sagging in the headliner is noted due to 40-year-old adhesive. The tilt steering column is topped by a leather wrapped steering wheel that could pass for new. All instruments, gauges, and lights work properly. Additional equipment includes cold air conditioning, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, cruise control, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo. Everything functions as it should.

There isn't much you can say about the Fiero that hasn't already been said. It represents one of the most unique American cars of the 1980s and will always have a place in automotive history. And while this is one of the nicest examples on the market, its price still pales in comparison to six-figure Fox body Mustangs and IROC-Z Camaros, demonstrating how the Fiero remains a tremendous value in the collector car market.
