The Pontiac Fiero is a strange ride. It has a structural steel backbone frame and composite body panels, meaning you can remove the original Fiero body and put whatever you want on the outside without compromising structural integrity. Cosmetic integrity is another story. Today’s Fiero has a full Finale body kit from Chicago-based Candy Apple […]
Did you ever see a replica kit car and thought, hey, this looks pretty good if it was one of those 25-cent amusement park rides in front of a grocery store? Because that is precisely what I said to my inner self when I discovered this next Chevy 305-powered Fierrari thing. Find this 1985 Pontiac […]
Two Pontiac Fieros in a row? Yes. You bet. The last Fiero was this silly Barbie colored thing that might be a good driver for a sorority sister, but this next Fiero is shockingly better looking than it deserves to be. Its got a 4-cyliner iron duke and a slushbox…but it has a wicked chopped […]
Welcome to our second part of today’s Oppenbarbie (please, not Barbieheimer) special…which is, of course, the Barbie side of the coin. This isn’t a big German bomber…no…this is an American born pink car built from plastic and it’s fantastic. Barbie had a Fiero, right? Or was it a Ferrari? Eh, what’s the difference? Oh, you […]
Happy 4th of July to everyone out there in cyberspace — we are dedicating today to freedom and the less known Articles of the Constitution. Article 3, Section 4 of the constitution is the little know “Supreme Law of Fiero” which states; The Fiero shall have the Power of a Duke of Iron but the […]
In case you’ve been living on a cave on the moon (and Elon hasn’t given you free Moonlink internet) and don’t know — Ferrari returned to the 24 Hours of LeMans last weekend for the first time in 50 years and took the overall win with a 499P Hypercar. It was one of the those […]
The Zimmer Quicksilver is a Fiero based ‘custom’ built in small quantities by the Zimmer Motorcars Corp from 1984-1988. The Quicksilver sits on a stretched Pontiac Fiero frame and the custom coachwork makes it like a Lincoln version of the 2-seat runabout from GM. Today’s Zimmer has a GM LS4 engine in the place of […]
If you want to drive a Lamborghini, but don’t have the scratch to afford even the cheapest Gallardo (2003-2008 which can set you back $60-80k), then you’ll need to build one from available resources. Like a Pontiac Fiero chassis, a Chevy Small-Block-V8 and 3 feet of additional frame rails. Actually, the additional wheelbase is one […]
Do you know what was missing from the original mid-engine Fiero design? A shaker style hood scoop on the frunk. Trust me, it’ll shake with the rest of the poorly assembled GM parts bin plastic and it’ll look rad as you cruise down the boulevard in your mid-engine V8 swapped Fierno?! More like Fieryessss!!! Find […]
There is a quote that is commonly attributed to Plutarch that goes something like: When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer. The bad guy in Die Hard said it best, but I feel it when someone sends a link like this and describes it […]
