1986 Pontiac Fiero Gt with a 350 V8 Conversion. One bid buys it.
The conversion was completed by the person I purchased the vehicle from. He used the kit from V8 archie. I have owned the car for 5 years. I was told the engine was a rebuilt 350 from a 1990 Camaro. He also added a shift kit to the transmission. There is nothing custom to the engine accept for a K&N air filter. He also replaced the rubber bushings with poly bushings and added a sway bar. The A/C and cruise were both removed for the install and never put back in. I have a box of parts that go with the car and might contain the parts needed to install the A/C and cruise control.
Since I have owned the car I have had the injectors replaced with larger injectors, the transmission lines were replaced, the radiator was replaced, added a Rodney Dickman trunk support, and replaced the TPS sensor. The doors rattled over bumps so I replaced the door strikers and that solved the problem. I had the tachometer calibrated for the V8
The lights go up and down no problem, all the gauges work, the sunroof doesn't leak and the headliner doesn't sag. The seats are in great shape accept for a coffee stain on the passenger side. The dash is not cracked and the carpet looks new. The power windows work but go up and down slow. The power locks work but sometimes it takes a couple of tries.
The paint is original and looks ok but it could use a respray or color change. There are a couple of chips on the hood from when I was putting it back on after removing the radiator. Recently the car began surging and running rich when started but comes out of it after a few minutes. I am not getting an engine code but do not have the time to chase the problem.
I am selling the car because I am a new Dad and just don't have the time or money to enjoy the car. I have put about 100 miles on it in the last two years. It is time to let someone else enjoy it. I do not have the title but I will get a new one if the winning bidder requires it. Also, Maine doesn't have emission control requirements so I couldn't say if it would pass or not. The car is inspected, insured and drives if you are close enough to come look at it.
I have tried to explain the car as best as I can. As with any car that is 30 years old there may have been things I have missed so ask questions and I will answer them. I can also get additional pictures and video of the car running if you like.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
