Not For The Dogs: 1986 Pontiac Fiero 2000 Ferrari 355
I hate to sound negative, but the typical Pontiac Fierrari kit car is a hastily assembled pile of bondo and Chinese sourced Ferrari badges covering an underwhelming driving experience…but every once in a while we stumble over a Fiero based Ferrari kit car that looks and goes like a real Ferrari…and today’s F355 fake sits on a stretched Fiero chassis with a longitudinally mounted Corvette L98 mated to a Cadillac slushbox auto. Find this 1986 Pontiac Fiero Ferrari 355 offered for $15,100 in West Chicago, IL via facebreaking marketbad. Tip from Matt.

Thank goodness it’s an “overhead valve” because if it was a side valve I’d have to walk away.
Also, since I’m casting stones, let me be on record as generally loathing the Fiero’s rectangular dashboard. There’s alternatives people. http://www.v8archie.us/dash-kits.html
“This is an exact replica…†Um, no. If this is what a genuine Ferrari looked like, Enzo would have gone out of business decades ago and we’d all be able to afford real Ferraris because no one would want one.
The gated automatic shifter is a bit too much for me. But, I’d still drive this dumb thing. We’ve seen worse.
I mean, it’s not completely terrible..
Better then the last red one on here Engine cover could use some work looks cheap.
Is that Cal Worthington’s Dog Storm….?
