A Rare 1985 Pontiac Fiero Surfaces in Pristine Condition

24 Jun 2025
  • Why does this 1985 Pontiac Fiero stand out from the rest?
  • What kind of performance can buyers expect from this classic coupe?

In a surprising twist for classic car lovers, a 1985 Pontiac Fiero has emerged in near-perfect shape, untouched by the replica craze that consumed many of its kind. Famously used as the base for fake Ferraris and Lamborghinis, the mid engine Fiero often lost its identity to flashy conversions. But this Detroit-based gem avoided that fate and is now up for sale at Gateway Classic Cars.

Vintage Look, Flawless Condition

This specific Fiero is not just another throwback, it is practically untouched. It has clocked just 1514 kilometers since production, an astonishingly low number for a vehicle from the mid 80s. Though the seller does not explain its limited use, the condition speaks volumes. The body is coated in striking red with contrasting silver gray elements along the bumpers, side skirts, and lower trims. Even the wheels are original silver-painted alloys fitted with Goodyear tires.

Inside, the car offers an equally stunning time capsule experience. The cabin is dressed in light gray from the seats to the dashboard. While minimalist by modern standards, the inclusion of a radio was a nice touch for its time. Overall, this Fiero appears to have been sheltered and well cared for, justifying its $25,000 price tag for collectors chasing authenticity.

Honest Power, Rich Character

Under the hood lies a naturally aspirated 2.8 liter V6 that delivers 140 horsepower and 230 newton meters of torque, paired with a four speed manual transmission. While these numbers may not impress modern thrill seekers, the Fiero was never about raw power. It was about uniqueness, design philosophy, and that iconic mid engine layout.

For die hard Pontiac fans, this car is more than a machine, it is a symbol of what could have been. And with so few left in original form, this one offers a rare shot at preserving a true American oddity from the 80s sports car era. Whoever buys it will not just be getting a car, they will be protecting a piece of automotive history.
