Too Em For: 1984 Pontiac Fiero 2M4
The Pontiac Fiero was like nothing a typical buyer had ever seen in a Pontiac showroom floor in 1984. First, it was tiny for a Pontiac and even made the Sunbird look huge (it was 2 feet shorter in length), and second it had the engine sitting behind the driver’s back. Pontiac had been GM’s performance brand since the early 1960s, but this little road hugger was mid-engined! Imagine the surprise when you consider what was in every other GM dealership, people must have thought that Pontiac product planners had gone mad. At least they did until they popped the rear-hood and found an iron duke and then they realized that Pontiac hadn’t changed a bit. Find this 1984 Pontiac Fiero 2M4 offered for $6,950 in San Tan Valley, AZ via craigslist.

“The Pontiac Fiero is a mid-engine sports car that was built by American automobile manufacturer General Motors from 1983 to 1988 for the 1984 to 1988 model years. The Fiero was designed by George Milidrag and Hulki Aldikacti as a sports car. It was the first two-seater Pontiac since the 1926 to 1938 coupes, and the first, mass-produced mid-engine sports car by a U.S. manufacturer. Many technologies incorporated in the Fiero design such as composite panels were radical for their time. Other features included hidden headlamps and, initially, integrated stereo speakers within the driver and passenger headrests.â€

Does the owner live near a nail factory? Why an extra spare tire in the trunk? So weird. Also good luck with these appreciating.
I mistakenly bought the missus one of these. Prone to frequent breakdowns (the car not her). Following one of them, she managed to roll off the highway and into the parking lot of what turned out to be a strip joint were she was greeted there by a friendly young lady who asked my wife what shift she worked as she hadn’t seen her before!
You never know what opportunities will come your way until you drive a Fiero.
The Iron Duke should be called the Iron Turd – one of the most gutless things I’ve ever experienced was a ‘duke in a 5-spd Fiero! Such a letdown engine in a chassis with potential.
