Partially Restored Fiero Looks And Drives Nice. Recent Paint And New Engine. on 2040-cars
Oak Ridge, North Carolina, United States
|
This attractive Fiero has recent paint (<5 yrs old) to factory specs; it really looks nice and shines well. The Fiero, even with the V6, doesn't have an awful lot of power, but it is lightweight and loads of fun to drive. The manual steering (not power steering) gives it a tight and responsive feel at low to medium speeds, and a very light and pleasant feeling above highway speeds.
The engine was replaced by professional mechanics (local Firestone garage) within the last two years. Shop documentation on the engine, parts, and labor is available. I don't know age of the tires, but more than 1/2 life remaining on white letter Firestones. The headlight motors and headlights work well. Original radio works well. Air conditioning was converted to new coolant and works well. Occasional squeal from AC or belt. New battery six months ago. Automatic transmission functions perfectly. Most interior gages work properly, though the tach only occasionally works (likely needs cable replaced). The interior is clean and serviceable, but could use some restoration work. The headliner is new and clean, though the original sun visors are not available. Original seat covers are worn and torn, but have inexpensive covers installed. There are some minor dings, rubs, scrapes on exterior. Pictures shown, but none are eyesores from a few feet, and there are no major dents. CLEAN accident history. This is a nice car that is being driven daily. |

'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
