1987 Pontiac Fiero GT w/Pace Car Go-Kart

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Emerging from the doldrums of the malaise era, Pontiac bestowed the world with a mid-engine glistening ray of hope. Initially conceived as an economic coupe, the Fiero delivered much more. With the right options, it achieved a remarkable 50 mpg on the highway, or it could be as quick as a Ferrari 308 when sprinting to 60 mph. The Fiero would go on to be the first and only mid-engine production car from GM until the launch of the C8 generation of Corvette in 2020. Pontiac's marketing slogan - ‘We Build Excitement’ - still rings true, and it is easy to see why when presented with a stellar example such as this, with sporting styling and a mid-engine V6 mated to a manual transmission. It is the car that placed Pontiac back in the spotlight of being the fun and sporting brand once again. Considered by many as held back by General Motors brand hierarchy, enthusiasts have long wondered the result if Pontiac was able to equip the Fiero with more potent engine offerings, prompting many engine swaps. 

This car is part of the Retro Motors Collection, which comprises over 30 cars largely from the 1950s through today, with a focus on American muscle and high-powered European sports cars. View the full collection here.
