1985 Pontiac Fiero SE

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

The Pontiac Fiero was a bold mid-engine experiment by General Motors. Introduced in 1984, the Fiero was Pontiac’s first two-seater since the 1920s, and the first mass-produced mid-engine sports car by an American manufacturer. And with over 136,000 sold that first year, driving enthusiasts were clearly impressed.

The 1985 Fiero SE pushed many boundaries: when unibody construction ruled, it used an advanced space-frame chassis underneath plastic body panels. It wore distinctive pop-up headlights, rear air intakes, and tasteful lower body cladding, and it could be optioned with a transverse-mounted 2.8L V6 engine producing 140 horsepower when new.

A rally-tuned suspension worked with rack and pinion steering, 4-wheel disc brakes, and a svelte 2,700-pound curb weight for a spirited driving experience. Today, the 1985 Pontiac Fiero SE holds a cult status among collectors, symbolizing a daring chapter in GM’s history of automotive innovation.

This example is dressed in Bright Red with gray upholstery, wears 17” aftermarket wheels, and is powered by a 2.8L V6 backed by a 3-speed automatic transmission. It now shows approximately 95,400 miles.

This 1985 Pontiac Fiero SE is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is.  

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Broad Arrow representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
